Elon Musk's X Money Launches Without Dogecoin, Disappointing Investors

X Money Beta Goes Live March 9, Excludes Dogecoin

The beta version of X Money, the payments platform developed by Elon Musk, officially launched on March 9, 2026. The platform's debut, however, came with a notable omission: support for Dogecoin (DOGE). This exclusion runs directly contrary to years of market speculation that Musk, a vocal proponent of the cryptocurrency, would finally integrate it into one of his mainstream technology products. The launch confirms that, for now, the popular dog-themed meme coin remains outside Musk's new financial ecosystem, leaving a central investment thesis for DOGE holders unrealized.

Key Speculative Catalyst for DOGE Fails to Materialize

The lack of Dogecoin integration represents the failure of a major anticipated catalyst that had propped up market sentiment around the token. Many investors held positions in DOGE specifically on the speculation that it would gain significant utility through adoption on a Musk-led platform. With this possibility off the table for the foreseeable future, the market faces a bearish reality. The news is likely to trigger selling pressure from speculators who were banking on the integration, potentially leading to a price downturn as a key reason for holding the asset has been invalidated.
