Coinbase Seeks Return of Bitcoin Emoji on X

Coinbase is urging X, formerly known as Twitter, to restore the Bitcoin emoji that was removed in late 2023. The cryptocurrency exchange believes this is an opportune moment for the platform to bring back the orange Bitcoin hashtag symbol.

The Bitcoin emoji was introduced on Twitter in 2020 after a community campaign led by crypto enthusiasts. It automatically appeared when users typed the hashtag #Bitcoin, adding a recognizable visual marker to crypto discussions.

Coinbase's appeal is not just about nostalgia; it highlights the importance of symbols in fostering community identity and engagement on social media platforms.
