BeInCrypto
X hired Benji Taylor, a crypto design veteran from Aave Labs and Coinbase's Base, fueling speculation about future crypto integration.

Summary

Elon Musk's platform X has appointed Benji Taylor, formerly of Aave Labs and Coinbase's Base network, as its new Design Lead. Taylor, who founded Los Feliz Engineering which Aave acquired, expressed honor in joining X to help shape the future of what he considers the world's most important platform. X Head of Product Nikita Bier stated it took six months to persuade Taylor to join, with the goal of building the "greatest design team in the industry." Taylor's hiring has prompted market watchers, including Willy Woo, to speculate that it signals potential crypto integration as X Money, which has been in limited beta testing, prepares for early public access, though it is unclear if digital asset features will be included at launch.
