The acquisition of this license is a major step towards X’s goal of becoming a “cryptocurrency-friendly” platform. In the past, X has taken several steps to integrate cryptocurrency, such as adding a Bitcoin tipping feature and allowing users to set non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as profile pictures.

With this new license, X is now one step closer to allowing users to send, receive, and store cryptocurrency directly on the platform. This could be a major boom for the crypto industry. It would make it easier for people to use cryptocurrency in their everyday lives.

It remains to be seen what specific crypto payment features X will offer. However, the acquisition of this license is a positive sign for the future of cryptocurrency on the platform. We will get more details about it in the near future.

Elon Musk has previously stated that he wants to turn X into the “everything app.” He said that  the platform “will add comprehensive communications and the ability to conduct your entire financial world.”
