CoinDesk reported on August 20 that X is chatting about Circleโs USDC for dishing out royalties to top creators. The talks are still brewing according to someone in the know who also deals with other platforms exploring stablecoins for influencer cash ๐ฎ๐ค.
This news hits as X shifts how creators get paid with the Original Content Rewards Program taking over. X announced early this month it is ending new signups for the old program.

You need 500 verified followers and 500,000 impressions from verified users in the last 90 days plus a Premium subscription and good standing ๐.
Current Revenue Sharing folks can keep earning until September 7 then switch over from September 8 with payouts starting September 25 โจ.
X Money Weaves Stablecoin Magic Into Its Realm ๐ธ๏ธ
Stablecoins now hold a combined market value over $300 billion and help businesses move funds across borders quicker and cheaper than old banking paths ๐ฆ. Xโs interest in these for creator pay ties into Elon Muskโs bigger vision for the platform. In March he confirmed X Money would roll out early public access soon as part of his everything app dream.
The product opened to limited US Premium+ users in June then widened to more paid subscribers by late July. It runs as a dollar wallet for balances instant transfers direct deposits and a Visa debit card with up to 6% yield ๐น. Crypto and stablecoins are not in yet despite rumors before launch. SpaceX has used stablecoins for Starlink payments in some markets so this feels like a natural dark twist for X.
