Jane Manchun Wong, known for her investigations into the most used applications in order to reveal their upcoming functionalities, has just published her findings concerning the possibility of exchange currencies on Twitter. Soon a payment system for the blue bird social network?
A Twitter Coin soon?
Does the social network Twitter plan to launch its own cryptocurrency? Here is the question that many Internet users ask themselves since Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla now owner of the blue bird network, had mentioned the possibility of making payments directly on the platform last month.
And this hypothesis was today supported by a discovery by Jane Manchun Wong, a researcher known for having made many discoveries on the biggest applications like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Airbnb or Google, and then revealing them publicly. Of course, these are upcoming features meant to remain secret.
Regarding the possibility of a Twitter Coin, the developer has shared a capture of what appears to be a possible bargaining chip on Twitter in one of the future versions of the app. For reasons still unknown, Jane Manchung Wong switched her account to “private” mode before deleting it altogether.

Jane Manchun Wong had also shared a screenshot of the application’s application programming interface (API)revealing a “Coins” section in the tips section of Twitter.
However, since the section is empty beyond the header, it is currently impossible to know what type of coins it could be.

Why a bargaining chip on Twitter?
On November 9, the New York Times informed us that the company Twitter had filed registration documents in order to acquire the ability to manage payments on the platform. The day before, Elon Musk mentioned the possibility of a money exchange system between platform users as well as an option to send funds from Twitter to a bank account.
This possibility, revealed during a Twitter Space, would be based on the “Twitter Blue” verification system, the latter requiring the authentication of individuals wishing to obtain this privileged status on the platform.
Otherwise, Elon Musk also mentioned a savings system directly integrated into the platformwhich would thus place Twitter as indirect competitor of Apple and its new yield system launched alongside its Apple Card.
True to the news surrounding Elon Musk and therefore now Twitter, Dogecoin (DOGE) reacted positively to these revelations, showing an increase of just over 8% over one hour. DOGE currently trades at $0.1 and retains its 8th place by market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies.
