Elon Musk is moving closer to launching the financial services arm of his social platform X, but despite years of vocal support for Dogecoin, the meme coin appears to have no clear role in the initial rollout.
On Tuesday, the billionaire entrepreneur announced that X Money, a payments and financial services platform integrated into the X ecosystem, will begin early public access in April.
Meanwhile, the upcoming release follows a limited beta phase, during which a small group of testers has already been experimenting with features such as peer-to-peer transfers, digital payments, and debit card functionality.
“X Money early public access will launch next month,” Musk posted on X.
Additionally, Musk revealed the timeline in a brief post on X, confirming that the platform is nearing a broader rollout after months of behind-the-scenes development.
 
Notably, X Money is widely viewed as a core piece of Musk’s long-standing ambition to transform the social network into a financial “everything app,” combining communication, payments, and financial services in a single ecosystem.
Furthermore, early details from the beta program suggest the platform will allow users to send money to each other instantly, receive direct deposits, and potentially earn yield on balances held within the app.
Despite these ambitious financial features, DOGE integration has not yet been confirmed for the early release. That absence is particularly notable given Musk’s long and often influential relationship with Dogecoin, which he has publicly endorsed for years.
Interestingly, the lack of official crypto functionality has not dampened market speculation. Dogecoin still recorded a notable price increase in the past 24 hours, rising amid excitement surrounding the upcoming launch.
Some traders believe the eventual integration of digital assets could still be on the horizon once the platform matures.
Moreover, Musk recently shared a third-party projection outlining potential capabilities for the platform, including lending services, money market accounts, and crypto integration.
While those features remain speculative, the repost fueled expectations that digital assets could eventually become part of the ecosystem.
The financial infrastructure behind X Money has also been steadily expanding. In early 2025, the company announced a partnership with Visa to enable instant and secure account funding. The collaboration is expected to support debit card issuance and streamline payment processing for users once the platform launches publicly.
Meanwhile, X has been laying the regulatory groundwork necessary to operate as a financial service provider.
Through its subsidiary, X Payments, the company has obtained more than 40 money transmitter licenses across U.S. states, a crucial step toward enabling large-scale digital payments and transfers.
Public interest in the platform has grown in recent weeks as more beta activity surfaced online. Actor William Shatner even promoted the service after receiving an invitation to test it.
In an unusual promotional twist, Shatner has been offering early beta access to supporters who donate to his Hollywood Charity Horse Show, an event that raises funds for children’s charities.
In addition, the rollout of X Money comes alongside other financial tools recently introduced on the platform.
Among the features are “smart cashtags,” which allow users to track and analyze traditional stocks and digital assets directly in X posts.
Meanwhile, following the news, Dogecoin surged by 11.2% on Tuesday, as investors speculated it might eventually be integrated into Elon Musk’s expanding X ecosystem, even though the upcoming X Money public beta launches without crypto support.
At press time, DOGE was trading at $ 0.09190, reflecting a 2.26% decline in the past 24 hours.
