A well-known Dogecoin developer, known as "Mishaboar" in the community, has ignited discussions regarding the potential integration of Dogecoin (DOGE) and crypto payments into X (formerly Twitter).
Since Elon Musk's acquisition of the platform in October 2022, speculation has been rampant about the inclusion of DOGE in X's payment system.
Despite hints from Musk and indicators like X Payments obtaining licenses for money transfer activities in several US states, the implementation of Dogecoin payments is still pending.
In a recent press release, Mishaboar shed light on the ongoing debate surrounding X's payment infrastructure. Referring to Musk's previous comments, Mishaboar speculated about the potential introduction of crypto payments in later stages of X Payments. However, the exact timeline and integration mechanism remain unclear, with Mishaboar suggesting potential collaborations with exchanges or brokerage platforms.
The discussion expanded as other DOGE enthusiasts chimed in, sharing their perspectives. Some cautiously expressed optimism, foreseeing a gradual rollout of crypto payouts, while others projected a longer timeframe, estimating that full implementation could take up to five years.
In recent regulatory strides, X Payments achieved significant milestones by obtaining licenses for money transfer activities in three additional US states: Illinois, New Mexico, and Oregon, expanding its operational reach alongside existing licenses available in 19 other states.
