Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino announced on 1/1 last year the launch of the Twitter payment feature "X Money" in the future, and on 1/3 a Twitter user leaked what appears to be the X Money code, leading the public to speculate that the payment feature may go live soon.

ToggleAlleged code leak, rumors of X Money flying high
Tech website researcher Aaron Perris publicly shared on 1/3 a snippet of code that appears to be from Twitter's latest update, which includes the line "X Money is not available in your state." This has led many users to speculate that Twitter's payment feature "X Money" may go live soon.
User Alex Finn stated that this may mean Twitter won't wait for all 50 states to approve licenses before launching, and will instead choose to roll out the payment feature first in the 39 states where X Payments LLC has already obtained money transfer licenses.
Supporting creators' tips, cryptocurrency may become core technology
It is reported that the main function of "X Money" will be to allow users to directly tip content creators. Finn also speculated in his X Spaces that cryptocurrency may be integrated into X Money.
"Cryptocurrency is the most convenient and fast way to transfer funds, and I personally believe X Payments will definitely add this technology," Finn mentioned. Elon Musk's open attitude towards BTC and Dogecoin also leads people to speculate whether these two tokens may become payment options on Twitter.
Twitter CEO Yaccarino confirms, X Money to launch in 2025
Just before the code leak rumors surfaced, Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino confirmed on 1/1 that "X Money" will be launched in 2025. However, Twitter has not yet responded to whether the code leak is authentic.
Assuming "X Money" does launch earlier than expected as speculated, it will initially be rolled out in the 39 U.S. states where Twitter has obtained licenses. States like Alaska, Hawaii, and New York, which have not yet completed the certification, are unlikely to have access to X Money in the short term.
Musk's past support for cryptocurrency, Dogecoin likely to be on X Money
Musk has previously supported Dogecoin in his company's operations, including accepting Dogecoin as a payment option for some Tesla products. According to Arkham data, Tesla currently holds $1.1 billion worth of BTC.
Now, the public speculates that if "X Money" is launched, Dogecoin is likely to become one of the officially supported cryptocurrencies, marking a new chapter in Musk's promotion of crypto payments.
