X Eyes Stablecoin Payments for Creators

X is exploring new ways to pay its content creators using stablecoins, including Circle's USDC. This move comes as the platform replaces its old revenue sharing program with a new rewards system.

The change aims to directly reward high-quality content and simplify payments for creators based outside the United States. X has been working on this shift for several years and has already tested stablecoins in some of its other ventures, such as SpaceX's Starlink project.

X is discussing with payment players to determine how these assets can be used to pay creators' revenues. While no official launch date or chosen stablecoin has been announced, the move could bring crypto payments closer to the platform.
