Last year, the company introduced a feature that allows users to tip content creators using bitcoin and ether. While Jack Dorsey remained CEO, the company implemented several features to allow users to link crypto wallets to their profiles, as well as display non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as avatars.
Now the Twitter Notes product, which allowed writing long texts on the platform, has also been put on hold for an indefinite period. Also, the Revue newsletter platform will be closed soon. While the new team has not officially confirmed their intentions to develop their own cryptocurrency wallet, sources close to Twitter have revealed that the project appears to be on hold as well.
