Analysis: Elon Musk recruiting Benji Taylor may indicate that X is planning to develop a wallet, on-chain payments, or even DeFi.

BlockBeats News, on March 27, ARK Invest Digital Asset Research Director Lorenzo Valente stated, "The importance of Elon Musk recruiting Benji Taylor to join X as Chief Designer may be underestimated by many. Benji Taylor previously founded the self-custody crypto wallet Family, which was later acquired by Aave and he served as CPO. In 2024, he joined Base as Head of Design.

If we only consider basic fintech user experience, such talent may not be suitable. It is increasingly likely that wallets, on-chain payments, and even DeFi will become part of X’s development roadmap."
