- XRP and XLM lead as top picks for X Money, excelling in speed, cost, and scalability for global payments.
- A multi-crypto strategy, including Dogecoin for branding, positions X Money for efficiency and mass appeal.
Elon Musk’s X platform is preparing to revolutionize social media with X Money, an ambitious crypto-powered payment system. Guided by Grok, X’s AI, the platform evaluated cryptocurrencies based on speed, cost, scalability, compliance, and usability.
Previously, a CNF report noted that Stellar’s XLM bounced from a falling wedge pattern, signaling a potential bullish breakout. It was suggested that prices could jump 25% in January 2025.
According to a Forbes statement earlier this week,
X CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed that payments would be integrated into the social media platform in 2025 via X Money, along with other features, telling users to “buckle up.”
XRP and Stellar (XLM) emerged as top contenders for their fast, low-cost international payments, aligning with X Money’s global ambitions. XRP’s established partnerships add scalability, though U.S. regulatory challenges persist.
Meanwhile, Stellar’s focus on decentralization and cost-effective cross-border functionality makes it a strong alternative, despite its lower public recognition.
Dogecoin: The Musk-Favored Meme Coin
Dogecoin’s close association with Musk boosts its appeal for X Money. Grok highlights its low fees and quick transactions, making it ideal for tipping and small payments in social contexts.
However, Dogecoin’s limited scalability and lack of advanced features may restrict its broader use in high-volume transactions. Still, its popularity and Musk’s endorsement give it a unique edge for brand synergy.
A Multi-Crypto Approach for Flexibility
To meet diverse user needs, Grok suggests integrating multiple cryptocurrencies. A blend of XRP or Stellar for payments and Dogecoin for brand recognition could balance efficiency and appeal. Grok also identifies Nano as a future-proof option, though its adoption might require greater effort.
As Musk’s X platform navigates a dynamic crypto landscape, adaptability and innovation will be crucial in positioning X Money as a leader in digital transactions.
At the time of writing, according to CoinMarketCap data, Ripple (XRP) is trading at $2.42, with an increase of 0.73% in the past day and 15.64% in the past week. See XRP Price chart below.
