Nothing says "social media accountability" quite like watching a crypto billionaire get fact-checked in real time. Binance (BNB) co-founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao found himself on the receiving end of a community note over the weekend after amplifying a post about Elon Musk's X launching in-app Bitcoin (BTC) trading.

The Community Note Strikes Again

CZ responded with a clapping hands emoji to a post from The Bitcoin Historian claiming that X was rolling out cryptocurrency trading features. The problem? X's community added a note pointing out that while in-app trading plans are real, there's been zero official mention of Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency whatsoever.

The clarification matters because it highlights the gap between what crypto enthusiasts hope X will become and what the company has actually announced. CZ didn't respond to requests for comment on the flagged post.

What X Actually Said About Trading

CEO Linda Yaccarino did outline some ambitious plans in a June interview, discussing features that would let users trade and invest directly through the app. Her roadmap included peer-to-peer payments, tipping capabilities, stock trading functionality, and even X-branded credit and debit cards.

That's a lot of financial infrastructure, but notice what's missing? Any concrete mention of cryptocurrency integration. Sure, Musk promoted the idea of a cryptocurrency-powered "everything app" through X Money last year, but that vision hasn't materialized into actual announcements.

The speculation about crypto on X isn't coming from nowhere, though. Musk's well-documented affinity for Dogecoin (DOGE) has kept the community wondering when, not if, crypto features might arrive. But wondering and confirming are two very different things, as CZ's community note just reminded everyone.
