Rumors About a “Twitter Coin” Make the Dogecoin Community Explode

The cryptocurrency community believes that Elon Musk is planning to launch a new cryptoasset, which they call Twitter Coin and which many associate with Dogecoin. It all came about with a tweet posted by blogger Jane Manchun Wong, which garnered attention for an image believed to be the logo of the native currency of the micro-messaging network.

Neither the company nor Elon Musk have officially reported anything about it, but the leaked image of what could be the Twitter Coin is giving the cryptocurrency community, especially the one that revolves around Dogecoin, a lot to talk about.

Manchun Wong is popular for revealing secrets of features to be added by the most used apps such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

Interestingly Manchun Wong’s accounts have now disappeared, but many share the screenshot of his latest post. In it you can see the hidden Twitter Tips settings, including a section called “Coins”, where the logo of the alleged Twitter Coin appears.

Everything seems to indicate that the logo could be a way to reflect Twitter’s payment modality that will be among its new features.

However, the community is handling several theories. Since the logo of the alleged cryptocurrency is not blue, but yellow and in the center it shows the Twitter birdie in white, Dogecoin users prefer to believe that the meme cryptocurrency will be native to the social network.

For quite some time now, Elon Musk has claimed to be a strong supporter of Dogecoin and Bitcoin, although he has also been sued for the way he promotes the use of the dog-themed cryptoasset.

The truth is that the community is currently divided on the meaning of Twitter’s currency logo. Some say that if Twitter launches its own cryptoasset, it will soon not need Dogecoin, bitcoin or ether (the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network).

Comments that Elon Musk could soon get rid of Dogecoin, startled the community that revolves around this cryptocurrency, who claim that the tycoon will not integrate a new cryptocurrency on Twitter.

Meanwhile, other members of the community believe that a logo with the social network’s characteristic little bird is only a sign that all the cryptocurrencies used so far on its platform will be integrated there.

In September last year Twitter enabled its function to send and receive bitcoins worldwide, through an integration with the Strike application. Later, it added the second largest market cap cryptocurrency, ether.

  • Apple Plunges Nearly 10%, Q4 Revenue Guidance Misses Expectations

    On July 31, Apple (AAPL.US) plunged nearly 10% to $300.33, marking its biggest drop since April 2025. In terms of fundamentals, Apple's third-fiscal-quarter revenue rose approximately 16% year-over-year to $109.42 billion, slightly above analyst expectations. Among the details, product revenue came in at $78.68 billion, beating the expected $77.25 billion. However, services revenue—a key driver of its valuation re-rating in recent years—totaled $30.74 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $31.36 billion. Additionally, Greater China revenue reached $18.82 billion, with year-over-year growth slowing to 22%, also below analysts' forecast of $19.58 billion. During the earnings call, Apple guided fourth-fiscal-quarter revenue growth in the range of 9% to 11%, overall below the 12.1% analysts had expected. CFO Parekh noted that component supply constraints would impact iPhone, Mac, and iPad businesses in the fourth fiscal quarter, with currency fluctuations also constraining growth.

  • Three Fed Officials Back Rate Hike, Hawkish Pressure Builds

    On July 31, three Federal Reserve policymakers said that dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike this week stemmed from stubborn inflationary pressures, highlighting rising internal pressure on Fed Chair Warsh to act. In statements released Friday morning, Hammack and Kashkari said they worry that although the current round of price increases may stem from short-term factors such as President Trump's tariff policies and the Iran war, the inflation situation already warrants Fed action. Logan also joined in, saying that even if inflation cools, if the Fed does not raise rates, inflation is unlikely to fully fall back to the Fed's 2% target; without any policy constraints, inflation could continue to run above target until an unexpected shock occurs. Kashkari said that if inflation remains persistently stubborn, he might support a series of rate hikes, not just a single increase, to prevent inflation from becoming further entrenched. He said: "A series of small policy adjustments may be preferable to waiting for developments to unfold and ultimately having to take more forceful action." Hammack said that if the Fed does not tighten policy, price increases could continue to accelerate. She said: "Inflation has been stubbornly above 2% for more than five years, and I have no confidence that it will return to our target on its own." (Jin Shi)
