Elon Musk’s intentions to launch a financial services app have not been a secret, but the question mostly has been how Dogecoin fits into that dream. Musk was the primary reason for Dogecoin’s legendary 33,000% rally back in 2021, calling it his favorite cryptocurrency. Now that the billionaire has secured money transmission licenses in over 40 US states, the dream looks to be coming true. Following this, an X user, who goes by Teslaconomics, has broken down why X Money will be a game-changer.
The Future Everything App
The X post focused on Elon Musk’s X Money and what the billionaire plans to do with it. Essentially, X Money is expected to be the western version of WeChat, a Chinese app that allows users to communicate, as well as transact, all in one place.
According to Musk’s previous comments, he plans to make it possible that X users to do everything finance-related without having to leave the app. This even goes as far as not needing a traditional bank for transactions, being able to get paid in the app, pay bills, etc.
Another major thing that the user highlights is that X Money would allow users to actually have high-yield savings. Additionally, investment options are to be made available, as well as sets being able to access loans, operate money market accounts, with the possibility of treasury access.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the post is the fact that it highlights that the X Money feature is already being tested internally. Furthermore, a limited external beta test is expected to roll out soon, which means this financial app may be closer to reality than people think.
Can Dogecoin Still Make The Cut?
While the X Money feature is getting a lot of attention and Musk cosigned the Teslaconomics post, there has been no mention of Dogecoin anywhere. The anticipation that Dogecoin would become a payment method on X has been high since Musk acquired the crypto platform and added the option for crypto tips. However, an official Dogecoin payment method has yet to be announced.
Nevertheless, there are still areas where Musk has shown support for Dogecoin payments. One of these is acceptance of Dogecoin as a payment method for Tesla merchandize. However, there has been no official integration on the X app.
