Coinbase CEO urges X to embrace USDC for payment integration

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has expressed interest in incorporating Circle's USDC stablecoin for payments on X, formerly known as Twitter. Armstrong believes that USDC payments would be a valuable addition to the platform and has urged the X team to explore implementing this feature. This aligns with X's goal of introducing a payment system and evolving into an "everything app." X has been working on securing money transmitter licenses in the US, with its subsidiary, X Payments, now licensed in 33 states. The integration of USDC via Coinbase-backed Base could be a strategic move for both X and the stablecoin. USDC is the second-largest stablecoin globally and has seen significant growth in both its total supply and its presence on Ethereum Layer 2 networks. Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network, has experienced exponential growth in USDC usage and is the fastest-growing Ethereum layer-2 solution.
