X Money Is Live, and the Most Interesting Thing About It Is the Bank - Brave New Coin

Elon Musk's payments app launched with a 6% yield, a metal Visa card and no crypto at all. The deposits sit at Cross River, and the regulator that would have policed it no longer meaningfully exists.

  • X Money, Elon Musk's new payments app, has launched as a fiat-only service offering a 6% yield on deposits held at Cross River Bank.
  • The app operates with limited federal oversight due to the dismantling of the CFPB, raising concerns about regulatory gaps and potential future stablecoin issuance.
  • Despite its large user base, X Money's current structure as a subscription-gated service in 41 states limits its immediate impact on traditional banking.
