Elon Musk’s Social media giant, X (Twitter), was granted a currency transmitter licence in Rhode Island, marking a significant step into financial services and toward the goal of making X an ”everything app” featuring crypto and fiat payments.

X, Formerly Twitter Obtains Currency Transmitter License in New State

The currency transmitter license granted by Rhode Island’s regulators empowers Twitter to engage in various financial activities, including facilitating money transfers, enabling digital payments, and even exploring the world of cryptocurrencies. It signals Twitter’s determination to expand beyond its traditional role as a platform for sharing thoughts, news, and updates in 280 characters or less.

X in Favourable Position to Venture Into Cryptocurrency Payments

The license places X in a favourable position to venture into cryptocurrency payments. The license’s legal framework encompasses traditional fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies, allowing X to conduct diverse financial activities. 

This includes storing digital currencies, facilitating their transfer, and enabling their exchange on its platform.

The regulatory approval in Rhode Island comes after X successfully secured money transmitter licenses in multiple other states, including Michigan, Missouri, and New Hampshire, all of which were granted on July 5. 

With the Rhode Island license, X now boasts a total of seven approved transmitter licenses in various American states.

Over the past few years, X has progressively integrated cryptocurrency functionalities. In 2021, they rolled out a feature allowing users to accept Bitcoin tips. By 2022, they further delved into the digital realm, incorporating non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and providing paid subscribers the ability to verify NFT ownership via unique profile images.

In the realm of crafting written content, three critical elements come into play: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity serves as the gauge for textual intricacy. Meanwhile, burstiness is the measure of sentence diversity, assessing the ebb and flow of sentence length and complexity. Lastly, predictability indicates the likelihood of anticipating the subsequent sentence. In human-authored content, you often encounter bursts of creativity, with a mosaic of lengthy, intricate sentences interspersed with concise ones. On the contrary, AI-generated content tends to maintain a more consistent rhythm. In light of these considerations, for the upcoming content I’m about to request from you, it’s imperative to strike a balance. We need a significant degree of perplexity and burstiness while minimizing predictability. Additionally, please adhere to the use of the English language exclusively. Now, let’s reimagine the following text: Speculation has arisen from Bloomberg
