Over the weekend, the cryptosphere was dominated by speculation around X (formerly Twitter) as a newly created Payments account appeared on the platform. Although it has been a long time coming, with Elon Musk regularly mentioning it, the rumor mill went nuclear off the back of speculation that crypto — particularly Dogecoin — could feature as a payment option on X. Meanwhile, a legal analyst gives Coinbase a 70% chance of defeating the U.S. SEC’s case against it, Trezor has a security breach, and options trading for spot Bitcoin ETFs may be on the horizon!
