Built-in countdown for crypto trading within the X timeline? X Money beta testing coming soon, Elon Musk's "Super App" ecosystem expanding again

On February 14th, according to Watcher.Guru, X plans to launch cryptocurrency and stock trading features directly from the timeline within “a few weeks.” This means that in the future, users may be able to buy, sell, and transfer assets without switching to external pages, further blurring the boundaries between social and financial activities.

Earlier on February 12th, X officially confirmed that X Money will enter an “external beta” in the next one to two months, gradually opening to users worldwide. The project is still in internal closed testing and is a key piece in transforming X into a “super app.” Elon Musk, head of X, stated at a company event that the goal of X Money is to become “the hub for all funds” and to deeply integrate with platform services, pushing daily active users toward a billion.

Speculation about whether X will support cryptocurrencies continues to intensify. By early 2025, X Money announced integration with Visa, offering P2P transfers, debit card payments, instant account top-ups, and bank transfers. In comparison, PayPal’s Venmo, Block Inc.’s Cash App, and JPMorgan’s Zelle have already adopted stablecoins or on-chain settlement; meanwhile, X’s partner Stripe is also accelerating its shift toward stablecoin infrastructure. Industry trends indicate that cross-border and international transfers are becoming key use cases for crypto payments.

Elon Musk has extensive experience in payments and fintech and maintains long-term engagement with the digital asset ecosystem. His company Tesla holds a large amount of Bitcoin, amplifying market expectations for X Money’s on-chain capabilities. Some investors compare this to Telegram’s financial features, speculating that X might explore its own tokens or stablecoin solutions.

However, as of press time, X has not officially confirmed support for any cryptocurrencies. What is certain is that if the built-in trading feature within the timeline becomes a reality, X will integrate “content—social—payment—trading,” making it one of the most promising experiments in global fintech by 2026.
