Nikita Bier, a former advisor to Solana Labs, has joined X (formerly Twitter) as the head of product, igniting speculation regarding potential cryptocurrency integration into the platform. Bier's announcement comes as X is planning to evolve into a payments platform, with rumors swirling over a possible integration of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency favored by Elon Musk. Following his appointment, Dogecoin's price saw a slight increase. The move aligns with X's recent activities, acquiring money transmitter licenses in multiple U.S. states and plans to introduce in-app payment features like X Money. Bier shared his excitement about the role and the importance of X in shaping global discourse, suggesting that his focus will also include enhancing user interaction through X's in-house chatbot, Grok. While the crypto community is eager for clarity, no official confirmation regarding Dogecoin's role in X's ecosystem has been provided thus far, leaving questions about the future of the meme coin within the app's financial landscape.
