X Money: What We Know About X’s Upcoming Payment System Launching in 2025
3 min read
Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X (formerly Twitter), has announced the upcoming launch of X Money, a new payment system set to debut in 2025. The announcement was made via an X post on Tuesday, highlighting the platform’s ambitions for the coming year alongside other features like X TV and Grok.
What Is X Money?
X Money represents a significant step in the evolution of X under Elon Musk’s ownership. The platform rebranded in 2024 and introduced several innovative features, and the new payment system is expected to be another milestone. However, much remains unclear about X Money, particularly its relationship with fiat and digital currencies.
In her announcement, Yaccarino hinted at a vision for the platform’s future:
“In 2024, X changed the world. Now, YOU are the media! 2025 X will connect you in ways never thought possible. X TV, X Money, Grok, and more.”
She emphasized that X will reshape how users interact, without providing specific details about X Money’s operations.

Licensing and Infrastructure
The groundwork for X Money was laid in 2024 through X Payments LLC, which obtained money transmission licenses across 14 U.S. states. This progress has fueled speculation about how the system will operate. An official X account, @XMoney, was created earlier in the year and already boasts over 140,000 followers.
What to Expect from X Money
While details remain sparse, industry observers anticipate that X Money will allow users to:
- Subscribe to premium content on X.
- Convert fiat currency into X Money for transactions.
- Potentially trade X Money for cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, given Elon Musk’s known interest in digital assets.
- Pay for enhanced visibility on X’s For-You page.
These features align with Musk’s vision of X as an “everything app,” although Yaccarino’s announcement did not confirm any crypto integration.
In addition to X Money, Yaccarino mentioned other initiatives such as X TV and Grok, suggesting a broader transformation of the platform. However, she did not provide specific timelines for these projects, leaving users to speculate about what’s next.
While the announcement has generated excitement, it also raises questions: How will X Money be integrated with fiat and cryptocurrencies? Will it provide seamless functionality for global transactions? As of now, neither Yaccarino nor Musk has elaborated on these details.
X Money is shaping up to be a key component of X’s ambitious plans for 2025. As the company continues to expand its capabilities, users and industry experts eagerly await further announcements to understand the full scope of this innovative payment system.
