As part of its ambitious expansion to enhance its “Everything app”, X is introducing a range of payment integrations, and with Elon Musk at the helm, many speculate that Dogecoin could be among the supported cryptocurrencies. Linda Yaccarino, X’s CEO, today unveiled a video outlining the app’s prospective features.

Particularly striking is the video’s revelation that X aims to evolve into a payments app, revealing features that allow users to promptly make online purchases, remit money, and harness income from ad revenues when participating in Elon Musk’s creator community.

Nevertheless, the DOGE community remains hopeful. Dogecoin’s price trajectory witnessed a sharp surge last year when news of Musk’s acquisition of Twitter began circulating. Although the coin has seen a downtrend since, it remains firmly within the top ten cryptocurrency assets by market capitalization. While Musk has not recently made overt Dogecoin-related posts, such as sharing a DOGE meme or donning a DOGE shirt like in the past, he continues to be deeply engaged with its community. Evidence lies in his interactions on X, where he frequently communicates with notable Dogecoin figures, such as DogeDesigner (@cb_doge). A look at his X feed and communications reveals that Dogecoin community member DogeDesigner is one of his favorite accounts to interact with. In the last 24 hours alone, Musk has written 11 replies to tweets from DogeDesigner. Musk is also in regular communication with Dogecoin creator Billy Markus. So there are good reasons to argue that Musk’s fondness for Dogecoin has not diminished.
