Crypto Landscape Changes: Growing Gap Between Bitcoin Withdrawals and Deposits

04 November 2023

Musk's Crypto Declaration: Why Elon Musk's Recent Announcement Has the Crypto World Talking. Delve into the Implications of His Firm Stand.

In a definitive statement, tech magnate Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, X, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, has firmly reiterated that none of his companies have any intentions to create and launch cryptocurrency tokens in the future. Musk emphasized his position after a tweet by a Dogecoin designer highlighted that Elon Musk and xAI, his artificial intelligence company, have no affiliation with the meme coin Xai Corp (XAI).

This year, Musk's xAI, a venture dedicated to Artificial Intelligence research, is set to release its first AI model today, on November 4. Despite this, Musk made it “super clear” that creating a cryptocurrency is not in his companies’ plans.

This statement comes after the recent surge of Xai Corp (XAI) by an astonishing 150% following the news of xAI’s launch. Musk had previously addressed rumors about his social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) launching a native crypto token in August, making it clear that this would never happen.

Musk's decision might disappoint some crypto enthusiasts, but it brings much-needed clarity to the market. His consistent stance is anticipated to stabilize the crypto landscape. Investors and the crypto community are closely observing Musk’s actions, wondering if he might still integrate Dogecoin payments on the X platform, a prospect he hinted at during his initial acquisition of Twitter shares last year.
