Pundit to XRP Holders: How Much More Does Elon Musk Need to Show Before You Understand?

Elon Musk rarely moves without triggering waves of speculation. Since he rebranded Twitter into X and announced plans to build an “everything app,” crypto investors have searched relentlessly for signals about what payment infrastructure could power the platform. Every symbol, meme, and licensing update now feeds a larger narrative about digital finance and global settlement rails.

Crypto commentator DooridooriX reignited that conversation on X, suggesting that XRP and Stellar Lumens could sit at the heart of Musk’s long-term payments vision. DooridooriX framed the argument around Musk’s repeated emphasis on the letter “X,” urging XRP holders to recognize what he views as mounting signals.

Musk’s “Everything App” and Payment Ambitions

Musk has publicly confirmed that he wants X to evolve beyond social media into a fully integrated digital ecosystem that includes payments. His company has secured multiple U.S. money transmitter licenses, which represent tangible regulatory groundwork for financial services integration.

These steps demonstrate serious intent. However, Musk has not publicly named any cryptocurrency partner for X’s future payment infrastructure. Observers continue to speculate, but no official announcement confirms XRP or XLM integration.

ISO 20022 and Institutional Infrastructure

DooridooriX referenced visuals linking XRP and XLM to ISO 20022 financial messaging standards and global institutional frameworks associated with the International Monetary Fund and the Bank for International Settlements. Both digital assets support structured messaging capabilities that align with cross-border payment modernization efforts.

Financial institutions worldwide are transitioning to ISO 20022 to improve data transparency and settlement efficiency. XRP and XLM networks position themselves as interoperable settlement layers within that evolving system. Yet ISO 20022 compliance does not automatically translate into selection by private technology platforms such as X.

The Power of Symbolism

DooridooriX also highlighted Musk’s meme referencing a “420-digit prime” and connected it to crypto culture and the symbolism of “X.” Supporters interpret Musk’s consistent branding around the letter as a subtle alignment with XRP and XLM.

The post further referenced the 1988 cover of The Economist, which depicted imagery often interpreted as forecasting a unified global currency. Enthusiasts frequently revisit that cover to reinforce narratives about an emerging digital monetary order.

Symbolism can inspire conviction, but symbolism does not confirm partnerships.

Vision Versus Verified Integration

Musk continues building financial capabilities within X, and blockchain-based rails remain technically plausible for global payments. XRP and XLM both specialize in cross-border value transfer and institutional liquidity solutions. Those characteristics make them logical candidates in theory.

However, no verified documentation or public statement confirms that X will integrate either asset. Investors should separate confirmed regulatory developments from interpretive narratives.

Musk’s ambitions for X remain expansive. Until official integration details emerge, speculation will continue—but facts must guide conclusions.

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token

The post Wormhole launches reserve tying protocol revenue to token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Wormhole is changing how its W token works by creating a new reserve designed to hold value for the long term. Announced on Wednesday, the Wormhole Reserve will collect onchain and offchain revenues and other value generated across the protocol and its applications (including Portal) and accumulate them into W, locking the tokens within the reserve. The reserve is part of a broader update called W 2.0. Other changes include a 4% targeted base yield for tokenholders who stake and take part in governance. While staking rewards will vary, Wormhole said active users of ecosystem apps can earn boosted yields through features like Portal Earn. The team stressed that no new tokens are being minted; rewards come from existing supply and protocol revenues, keeping the cap fixed at 10 billion. Wormhole is also overhauling its token release schedule. Instead of releasing large amounts of W at once under the old “cliff” model, the network will shift to steady, bi-weekly unlocks starting October 3, 2025. The aim is to avoid sharp periods of selling pressure and create a more predictable environment for investors. Lockups for some groups, including validators and investors, will extend an additional six months, until October 2028. Core contributor tokens remain under longer contractual time locks. Wormhole launched in 2020 as a cross-chain bridge and now connects more than 40 blockchains. The W token powers governance and staking, with a capped supply of 10 billion. By redirecting fees and revenues into the new reserve, Wormhole is betting that its token can maintain value as demand for moving assets and data between chains grows. This is a developing story.
