X’s goal this year is to blaze a new trail by fusing finance, artificial intelligence, and social media within its ecosystem.

On December 31, CEO Linda Yaccarino previewed upcoming features that will provide users with broader functionality beyond traditional social media interactions.

Yaccarino said that in 2025, users of the platform will experience unprecedented ways to connect and engage.

Yaccarino shared a preview of upcoming developments, including deeper integration of the Grok AI chatbot, the launch of XMoney and XTV.

Yaccarino added: "In 2025, X will connect you like never before. XTV, XMoney, Grok and more."

These changes are consistent with developments expected since Musk acquired X in 2022.

Musk has always emphasized that he wants X to become an "all-powerful application" where users can participate in various activities from content sharing to financial transactions in an ecosystem.

Additionally, X’s fintech journey began in 2024 when it was announced that it would launch a peer-to-peer payments system, but the rollout of the system has since faced delays.

Despite missing the launch date, the company has achieved important milestones, securing money transmission licenses in multiple U.S. states, including major markets like California, Illinois, and Virginia.

This development lays the foundation for X to compete with established financial platforms such as PayPal.

Market observers believe that adding payment features will increase user engagement and make transactions as seamless as sharing content. This feature will further solidify X's position as a hub for digital engagement.
