Coinbase COIN CEO Brian Armstrong is interested in collaborating with Elon Musk‘s X platform to enable USDC transfers between users.

What Happened: Armstrong’s response came after Travis Bloom, Coinbase’s engineering lead, directly addressed Musk on Sunday, asking, “Hey @elonmusk, when is X gonna let me send other users USDC on @base? Seems like a clear product win.” Armstrong quote-tweeted, stating, “This would be a great feature @x team let’s talk.”

USDC USDC/USD, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, could potentially offer X users a seamless way to transfer value within the platform, particularly following X’s recent acquisition of money transmission licenses in multiple U.S. states.

Such a feature could leverage Base’s infrastructure to enable fast, low-cost stablecoin transfers between X users.
