Links to articles calling the so-called token “$X” and “Twitter token” have made rounds in the news cycle, claiming incredible gains in 24 hours.
The rumours come amid a significant Twitter rebrand as Musk aims to make X the new “everything app.” Understandably, users would suggest the likelihood of a Twitter or X-related cryptocurrency given the “chief Twit’s” affinity for popular memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE).
Musk, or the “Dogefather”, acquired Twitter for a staggering $44 billion and temporarily changed Twitter’s iconic blue-bird logo for Shiba Inu, Doge’s characteristic logo.
Musk’s move earned himself a lawsuit for racketeering and insider trading worth $258 billion and allowed DOGE to soar by 20%.
X-Token Surges After Twitter RebrandAlthough no affiliation with Twitter, X, or Elon Musk, an altcoin called the X token surged a whopping 1000% after Musk’s announcement that Twitter will rebrand itself to X.com.
The X token has no link to X.com and was part of a project started by X, a decentralised NFT marketplace operating across several chains.
