The researcher named Jane Wong, who is famous for researching the codes on Twitter, shared what she found about Twitter Coin on her account.

Twitter’s potential integration of cryptocurrency payments and the creation of a native coin is currently unclear, as it remains to be seen if the team is actively working on the feature. However, Twitter CEO, Elon Musk, has previously expressed interest in integrating crypto into the platform — specifically advocating Dogecoin (DOGE) both publicly and subliminally.

While other users, such as entrepreneur James Jansson alleged Wong’s disappearance was associated with ‘a racist attack’.
It appears that Jane Manchun Wong @wongmjane deleted her account after someone made a racist attack on her in the context of a serious assault on a elderly protester in Hong Kong. This is a huge loss to Twitter. This is what we lose when there are no rules: cool people. pic.twitter.com/N2KcOG6VAf

Among all these rumors, one fact is clear. Wong revealed code that hinted at Twitter crypto integration and what followed was the closure and/or deletion of Wong’s Twitter account.
