Elon Musk’s X platform is set to revolutionize social media with the introduction of X Money, a crypto-powered payment system designed to change the way users transact. Guided by Grok, X’s AI, the platform has carefully evaluated several cryptocurrencies for their speed, cost, scalability, compliance, and usability—key factors driving its global ambitions.
A recent CNF report highlighted Stellar’s XLM, which recently bounced from a falling wedge pattern, hinting at a possible 25% price surge by January 2025. Forbes also reported that XRP and Stellar (XLM) have emerged as frontrunners for their low-cost, fast international payment capabilities, making them ideal contenders for X Money.
XRP’s established partnerships give it scalability and robustness, though ongoing regulatory challenges in the U.S. remain a concern. On the other hand, Stellar’s focus on decentralization and affordable cross-border payments positions it as a strong contender, despite its lower public recognition. Both tokens align with X Money’s mission to offer cost-effective, fast payments worldwide.
Dogecoin: The Musk-Favored Meme Coin
Dogecoin, closely associated with Musk, holds a unique position for X Money due to its fast transaction speed and low fees, making it ideal for small transactions or tipping in a social media context. However, Dogecoin’s scalability limits its potential for large-scale transactions. Despite this, Musk’s endorsement gives Dogecoin a notable edge in brand recognition.
A Multi-Crypto Strategy for Versatility
Grok suggests integrating multiple cryptocurrencies to cater to diverse user needs. XRP or Stellar could handle larger payments, while Dogecoin could provide quick and accessible options for users. Grok also mentions Nano as a promising choice for future-proofing the system, though its adoption would require additional effort.
As Musk’s X platform navigates the crypto space, its ability to innovate and adapt will be key to positioning X Money as a leader in digital transactions.
At press time, XRP is trading at $2.42, with a 0.73% increase in the past 24 hours and a 15.64% rise in the past week, according to CoinMarketCap.
