Analysis: Musk Recruiting Benji Taylor, or Hinting at X’s Potential Wallet, On-Chain Payments, or Even DeFi Focus

BlockBeats News, March 27th, ARK Invest’s Director of Digital Assets Research Lorenzo Valente wrote that the importance of “Musk recruiting Benji Taylor to join the X platform as Chief Designer” may have been underestimated by many. Benji Taylor previously founded the self-custodial crypto wallet Family, which was later acquired by Aave where he served as CPO, and in 2024 joined Base as Head of Design.

“If you only consider basic fintech user experience, then this type of background talent is not suitable for you. It is increasingly likely that wallets, on-chain payments, and even ultimately DeFi will become part of X’s development roadmap.”
