X explores stablecoin payments for creators
6.6 Adoption X is exploring stablecoin payments like USDC for creators as it launches a new rewards program. No official confirmation yet, but stablecoins could enable faster, cheaper global payouts.
Social platform X is reportedly in talks to use stablecoins, such as Circle’s USDC, to pay royalties to content creators and influencers. This initiative reflects a broader trend among social media platforms exploring crypto-based payments for influencer compensation. The discussions come as X phases out its Revenue Sharing program and introduces the Original Content Rewards Program, designed to reward creators for originality, expertise, reporting, creativity, and commentary. While X has confirmed an overhaul of its creator payment system, there has been no official confirmation or product announcement regarding stablecoin integration. Adopting stablecoins could enable faster and more cost-effective cross-border payments, signaling growing mainstream acceptance of blockchain-based financial tools. X representatives have not commented, and the company’s public statements have not mentioned stablecoins or digital assets.
