Elon Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino last year unveiled plans to introduce many features including payments/banking services, video and audio calling, dating, etc. on X platform. It is part of making the platform an “everything app” offering users as many services as possible from a single app as part of Musk’s vision of creating a more efficient and interconnected world.

X recently received a money-transmitter license from Utah after receiving similar approvals in Wyoming, Rhode Island, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Missouri. CoinGape reported that the Utah Department of Financial Institution (DFI) denied X Payments’ application to conduct related services in 2023.
