On August 20, sources revealed that Elon Musk's social media platform X is exploring the use of stablecoins, including Circle's USDC, to pay royalties to content creators and influential users. Discussions are still ongoing. Stablecoins have become an important tool for blockchain payments due to their faster and lower-cost cross-border payment capabilities. Recently, X has also been adjusting its creator incentive mechanisms, planning to replace the existing revenue-sharing program with an 'Original Content Reward Program' to reward original content, professional opinions, reporting, creativity, and commentary.
