X Adds Payments Button Amid Expansion Plans

News summary

X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is progressing toward launching its payment service, aligning with CEO Elon Musk's vision of transforming X into an 'everything app.' App researcher Nima Owji has discovered that X is developing a 'Payments' button within its navigation bar and features related to transactions, balance, and transfers. With X Payments recently obtaining a money transmitter license in North Dakota, the total states with such licenses has reached 33, paving the way for broader financial services. Musk has indicated a goal to roll out the payment service by mid-2024, a move seen as essential for diversifying revenue beyond advertising. The payment system is expected to allow users to store money, make transfers, and could include access to high-yield accounts. This development comes amid challenges in monetizing the platform, prompting X to seek alternative revenue streams.
