Dogecoin Rockets as Elon Musk Confirms X Money Early Public Access Launch in April

Dogecoin surges more than 8% today as Elon Musk announces early public access of X Money payments service in April. The Dogecoin community reacts and analysts recommend going long on DOGE due to potential integration with X Money.

Elon Musk’s Timeline for X Money Beta

Elon Musk, in an X post on March 10, confirmed that early public access to X Money will launch next month. This indicates major progress in Musk’s vision of turning the platform into an “everything app.”

X platform launched X Money beta access through Star Trek actor William Shatner. The “42ers” were the initial group of users testing the X Money payments service. Shatner shared screenshots of services such as instant P2P money transfers, cashback on debit card purchases, and yield savings on cash balances.

The X Money payment service developments mark Elon Musk’s long-term vision to enter the fintech sector after securing money transmitter licenses across the United States. X Money will compete directly with PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App in the peer-to-peer payment space.

The Dogecoin community and William Shatner also reacted to Elon Musk’s early public access to X Money. Shatner said he is still waiting for the X Money first transactions such as pizza, groceries, and haircuts. While crypto integration is not available in an early launch, the Dogecoin community anticipates DOGE integration soon.

Still waiting for the @XMoney firsts: there’s pizza, burgers, tacos, haircuts, groceries…
Be clever and be the first 42ers!
