X product head Nikita Bier hinted at a new crypto-focused launch on Apr. 14, triggering widespread speculation about potential Dogecoin (DOGE) and Bitcoin (BTC) integrations on the platform's payments service.
Bier's Crypto Tease
In a post on X, Bier acknowledged the difficult stretch for digital assets. "Crypto has had a rough year. Maybe we should launch something to fix it," he wrote.
He offered no specifics about the product. The remark arrived during a period of persistent market volatility and followed Bier's recent crackdown on bot activity across crypto discussions on the platform.
"I think when we removed the crypto bots, there were only 2000 people rugging each other back and forth, forever," he added.
The crypto community quickly filled the void with guesses. Users pointed to possible DOGE and BTC integration on X Money, the platform's pending payments service built under Elon Musk's vision for an "everything app." Others speculated about Smart Cashtags, a feature that would let users track real-time crypto and stock charts and trade directly from the timeline.

Solana Speculation
Solana (SOL) figures also weighed in. Solana Foundation chief product officer Vibhu Norby replied with a one-word post, "CA?", suggesting interest in a potential token launch. Solana Mobile reacted to Bier's comments as well.
Bier joined X as head of product in mid-2025 and serves as an advisor to Solana Labs.
His appointment has put him at the center of the platform's broader financial ambitions, from purging InfoFi spam bots in January to previewing Smart Cashtags that same month.
X Money Timeline
The tease also comes as X Money nears its public rollout. Musk confirmed in February that early public access would begin in April, following a closed beta that actor William Shatner helped promote by auctioning 42 invites for charity in March. The service offers peer-to-peer transfers, a 6% annual yield on deposits, and a Visa debit card with cashback. Crypto functionality has not been confirmed for the initial launch.
