What happened
Unchained reports on early and unconfirmed discussions amid a new structure for paying X creators.
Why it matters
Shifting creator payments to stablecoins could tie the platform's reward system to crypto payments, but confirmed information currently only indicates early and unconfirmed discussions.
Unchained reports that X is exploring the possibility of paying creators in stablecoins. The negotiations are in the early stages and not yet confirmed.
The report appeared in the same month that X restructured its creator payments: rewards are now tied to impressions, transfers occur every two weeks, and the minimum amount is 30 dollars. Details of possible stablecoin payments are not disclosed.
The practical significance of the news remains limited to the direction of discussions itself: without confirmation, it is not possible to determine whether such a scheme will be launched or how it would alter creator payments.
