The developer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EdDaWord\/status\/1696977258819305687\">emphasized<\/a> the platform's primary goal of integrating real-world financial functionality rather than having a cryptocurrency substitute.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s4\">Musk <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1697057886189297851?s=20\"><span class=\"s5\">posted<\/span><\/a><span class=\"s4\"> &#8220;Correct&#8221; in response, showing he agreed with the statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, this marks the second instance this month where Musk has dampened hopes about the platform's launching a digital asset. On Aug. 5, Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1687662311010631680?s=20\">made it clear<\/a> that X has no plans to launch a cryptocurrency despite the rising <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/elon-moves-markets-again-as-unrelated-x-token-soars-2000-doge-up-8-following-twitter-rebrand-to-x\/\">popularity of various X tokens<\/a> online. According to the Tesla CEO, X will &#8220;never&#8221; develop a token.<\/p>\n<p>The speculation surrounding a potential X Coin stemmed from Musk's <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/dogecoin-is-still-elon-musks-favorite-crypto-but-hes-careful-not-to-endorse-it\/\">involvement<\/a> in the crypto sphere and the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/elon-musks-tesla-now-support-dogecoin-payment\/\">actions<\/a> of some of his companies, like Tesla. Before he acquired Twitter, Musk frequently discussed meme coins, with several of his posts <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/elon-musk-tweet-pumps-floki-over-40\/\">influencing the prices<\/a> of Dogecoin, Floki Inu, and others.<\/p>\n<p>However, his priorities appear to have shifted since taking control of the platform, with his primary focus now being on profitability and transforming the social media platform into a super app.<\/p>\n<h2>X is getting financial licensing<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, X has taken significant steps towards incorporating cryptocurrencies into its operations. Notably, the company has <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/x-secures-rhode-island-currency-transmitter-license-paving-way-to-crypto-services\/\">secured<\/a> a currency transmitter license in Rhode Island, permitting it to manage and facilitate digital currency transactions.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, X has proactively <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/twitter-stepping-up-its-payment-game-now-licensed-money-transmitter-in-3-states\/\">registered<\/a> with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to obtain Money Service Business licenses. This strategic move has expanded X's portfolio to include money transmitter licenses in three states: Michigan, New Hampshire, and Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these licenses, X has yet to launch any payment service. However, these actions underscore its commitment to embracing financial services offerings for its users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk has quashed any possibility that his social media platform X, formerly Twitter, would not launch any cryptocurrency token in an Aug. 31 post on the site.
