Creators with a minimum of 15 million impressions in the last three months, with at least 500 followers and the Blue verification subscription, will be eligible for payouts. Meanwhile, X has declared financial technology company Stripe as its payment processor for payouts.
According to a Cointelegraph report, Stripe launched a native fiat-to-crypto on-ramp service aimed at improving the crypto purchasing process for customers in the United States. Should Musk’s platform introduce crypto payments, the on-ramp service could prove beneficial. However, there are no indications or plans from X developers regarding implementing cryptocurrency-based payments.
