Elon Musk confirmed this week that X Money is entering “early public access” in April, marking the first concrete step towards his vision of a “money app” for finance.
But while beta testers are already working and William Shatner is promoting the interface, one big expected feature is clearly missing: Dogecoin (DOGE).
The price of DOGE has grown by more than 8% on speculation alone, but the app itself currently shows no sign of crypto integration.
The real question is whether Musk is saving the crypto train for a later update, or has the payment platform quietly moved on from its meme coin roots?

What is X Currency and Why is DOGE Important?
For those new to the saga, X Money is Musk’s attempt to reinvent—and surpass—PayPal, a company he helped found decades ago. Think of it as embedding a wallet like Venmo or the Cash App right inside your X (Twitter) timeline.
According to the latest updates, the app allows users to send payments, earn interest (interest on your balance), and set up direct deposits. Musk’s mission has always been to be an all-in-one app for your entire financial life.

So where does Dogecoin fit in? For years, Musk has been the “Dogefather,” teasing that DOGE will become a traditional Internet currency. Retail investors are clinging to certain levels of analysis of Dogecoin’s price support primarily based on the belief that X will eventually combine DOGE for tip or payouts. The idea was that millions of X users would suddenly need DOGE, creating a huge demand shock.
However, beta testing paints a different picture. “Star Trek” actor William Shatner has been promoting the app’s early capabilities at charity auctions, and shows feature direct sales (government currency)—like buying coffee at Dunkin’. No crypto wallet is visible yet.

Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is X Currency Killing The Rally?
One thing is raising eyebrows right now: Dogecoin is missing from the April launch window of X Currency.
That creates tension. Retailers love the idea of DOGE payments on X, but regulators are a different story. IX has already secured a number of remittance licenses, however crypto approval is a very difficult hurdle.
There is a chance Musk is playing the long game. Introduce a fiat payment system first, build trust with partners like Visa, then add crypto later. But cooperation with traditional currencies usually comes with strict compliance rules, and meme coins can look dangerous in that area.
This is why silence is important. Much of DOGE’s narrative still focuses on Musk. If X Money starts as a simple fiat payment app, the premium hype surrounding Dogecoin could quickly disappear.

Ironically, DOGE is already up almost 8% as traders speculate. A classic setup to buy rumours. The real test will come at launch. If crypto is not mentioned, we can see a quick reaction to the sale of the news.
Technically, $0.10 is an important level to watch. If the bearishness pushes the price below it, the next bases remain near $0.09 and $0.075. But if Musk indicates that crypto integration is coming later, the market could change quickly. Currently, dealers are betting on which version of the story is being played.
