Breaking News: X to Roll Out Crypto Trading on your Timeline
News is surfacing that X Money is in internal beta, moving the platform closer to integrating direct crypto and stock trading into the user timeline.
Musk Confirms X Money is Live
Elon Musk has officially confirmed that X Money, the long-awaited financial arm of the X platform, is now live in a closed internal beta for employees. During a recent xAI "All Hands" presentation on February 11, 2026, Musk revealed that the service is already operational within the company as part of his vision to build an "Everything App."
Public Rollout Timeline
The transition from internal testing to public access is expected to happen rapidly. Musk outlined a clear roadmap for the upcoming months:
- Internal Beta: Currently active (February 2026).
- Limited External Beta: Scheduled to launch in 1–2 months.
- Global Launch: A worldwide rollout to X’s 600 million monthly active users is targeted for mid-2026.
Integrating Trading and Payments
X Money is designed to be the "central source of all monetary transactions." While the initial focus is on fiat peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers through a strategic partnership with Visa, the integration of and other digital assets remains a primary focus for the community.
The platform has already secured money transmitter licenses in over 40 US states. Furthermore, the development of "Smart Cashtags" suggests that users may soon be able to execute buy and sell orders for crypto and stocks directly from their timeline.
Strategic Impact on the Market
By merging social sentiment with financial execution, X Money could significantly reduce the friction for retail traders. If Musk successfully mirrors the "WeChat" model, X will transform from a place of discussion into a venue for global commerce and asset management.
