X, the company officially known as Twitter, recently did announced a new feature that could change its fortunes in 2024: peer-to-peer payments.
This feature will allow users to send and receive money directly from their contacts, without the need for a third-party app or service. The company said the feature will unlock “greater user utility and new opportunities for commerce,” suggesting a tie-in with other X products such as creator revenue sharing and online marketplaces.
The company also promised continued investment in creators, content partnerships, original content, full-funnel advertising and brand safety.
But will this feature be enough to make the X a success in 2024?
Several factors could influence the answer to this question. One of them is competition.
X is not the first platform to offer peer-to-peer payments, as other apps like to do Venmo and Cash application already have similar characteristics. Additionally, some of these apps have larger user bases and more established brands than X, which could make it difficult for X to attract new customers or retain existing ones.
Another factor is regulation. Peer-to-peer payments involve sensitive data and money, which means they are subject to different laws and regulations in different countries and regions. X should comply with these rules and ensure that its service is safe, reliable and compliant with local authorities. This could create some challenges and costs for the company, especially if it wants to expand into new markets.
A third factor is user behavior. Peer-to-peer payments are not only a technical feature, but also a social one. They depend on how users interact with each other and with the platform. X should convince its users that its service is convenient, reliable, and beneficial to them, and that it adds value to their social experience. This could require some marketing efforts and incentives from the company, as well as some training and feedback from users.
In conclusion, peer-to-peer payments are a promising feature that could boost X’s growth and popularity in 2024, but they are no guarantee of success. The company will have to face some challenges and competition in the market and adapt to the needs and preferences of its users.
