Na quarta-feira (8 de janeiro), Dogecoin (DOGE) sofreu uma liquidação louca e despencou mais de 10%, e o mercado altista no Trump Trade se dissipou. O bilionário Elon Musk disse em uma transmissão ao vivo que seu Twitter não introduzirá Dogecoin nos pagamentos porque exige uma licença correspondente, derrubando rumores no início desta semana.

Trump tomará posse em 20 de janeiro, e o mercado está se concentrando em suas perspectivas de cumprir sua promessa pré-eleitoral de fornecer um ambiente regulatório mais amigável para Bitcoin e criptomoeda e de estabelecer uma reserva estratégica de Bitcoin. Durante esta campanha, Musk estabeleceu um relacionamento próximo com Trump e foi nomeado líder do recém-criado Departamento de Eficácia Governamental (D.O.G.E.).

Musk's Twitter announced that this year, Twitter payment functions named X Money will be implemented.

So far, Twitter has obtained money transmitter licenses in 39 states in the United States, and these registrations are associated with a company called X Payments LLC.

Famous tech commentator Aaron revealed details of the leaked Twitter code, suggesting that the payment function X Payments, set to be implemented this year, may be launched without obtaining approval from regulators in all 50 states.

Renowned tech journalist Alex Finn stated: 'X Payments will support cryptocurrencies in some way... Cryptocurrencies could be an important track for Twitter payments.'

Meanwhile, if X Payments embraces cryptocurrencies, it could drive the market to soar, similar to the market surge triggered by PayPal adopting cryptocurrencies in 2021, which led to a historic bull market for Bitcoin. Additionally, Musk's broad interest in financial innovation, combined with the abbreviation of the government efficiency department he leads being the same as Dogecoin, keeps Dogecoin in a strong position in discussions.

But Musk, during the Twitter live test, talked about Twitter payment-related topics and denied market rumors.

He said: 'In the near future, cryptocurrency will not be used in Twitter's payment service because it requires the corresponding licenses, and now we will focus on fiat currency.'

It is worth noting that the cryptocurrency media BlockTempo verified the live stream video and found that Musk mainly discussed game mechanics, and there is no information about the explanation regarding Twitter payments.

Although the requirements for money transmitter licenses and the privileges granted vary by state in the U.S., these licenses generally allow companies to send, receive, and transfer funds for clients on a national and international level, and they also allow for foreign exchange transactions, such as exchanging foreign currency for U.S. dollars, as well as issuing prepaid cards, which includes both fiat and cryptocurrencies in this definition.

However, if the source is true, it indicates that Musk has not prioritized the support of cryptocurrencies.

After the news broke, Dogecoin faced not only the bearish pressure from the unexpectedly high U.S. JOLTS data in the traditional market and the hawkish signals released by Federal Reserve officials, but also the short-selling battle triggered by Musk's denial of rumors.
