X plans to launch payment service in 2024

The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, again discussed his plans to transform X (formerly Twitter) into a full-fledged financial platform, setting a timeline until the end of 2024 to achieve this goal. This has led many in the crypto community, specifically the DOGE community, to speculate about what this move could mean for the leading meme coin, Dogecoin.

However, it also remains to be seen whether the meme coin will be the only one integrated into the platform if the cryptocurrency is eventually adopted on the platform.

Meanwhile, the possible adoption of DOGE as a flagship crypto token on platform X is reinforced by the fact that Musk once mentioned that the platform never plans to create its token. As such, it doesn’t seem far-fetched that the meme coin would be Musk’s first choice once cryptocurrency talks on X begin to materialize.
