Now the question that remains is how is this going to be done? The stocks will more than likely not be available worldwide.
For crypto, I don't see them launching their own exchange either, this is probably going to be in partnership with a U.S based platform (possibly Kraken/Coinbase/Gemini?). Thoughts on this?
We do not know how it would be done yet, it is something new and no explanation yet about how it would be done. What I think is that they will need to collaborate with few stocks and crypto exchanges.
Many questions have been raised and many answers have been provided. This is not about X's direct exchange provision, but integrations. It will be something like a bridge using features like Smart Cashtag capability.
It's a good development that will give direct access and bridges right inside the X platform, and of course, will help to promote utility for Musk's X Money. I even think the X Money is the reason for this whole move because the time is close.
