ELON Coin

Elon Musk’s social media company X made a significant change on Friday, removing the Bitcoin hashtag emoji. The Bitcoin emoji that appeared with the use of ‘#Bitcoin’ has been abolished. This decision amid the ongoing BTC conference in Nashville has sparked a wave of discussions across the broader market. Meanwhile, Nexo, a leading digital asset institution, conversely forged ahead with plans to reinstate the emoji feature on a global level.

As seen recently, renowned personalities from all over the globe posted on X, showcasing a sense of dismay in the missing emoji when using the abovementioned phrase. The social media firm’s decision to remove this ‘special hashtag’ feature remains in a cloud of enigma. 
While the <a href="https://coingape.com/senator-cynthia-lummis-confirms-big-announcement-in-bitcoin-conference/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin Conference</a> continues to offer substantial traction to the flagship crypto, Elon Musk’s firm’s decision has set off contrasting market sentiments. 
Earlier this month, X removed the Trump and American flag emojis that appeared on the platform with the tags “#MAGA and #Trump2024.” Concerning this, the American entrepreneur clarified that he asked to end ‘special hashtags anyway,’ given their unclear sentiment reflection. 
The abovementioned decision to halt the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a> emoji appears to fall in line with this statement. Also, an official announcement on this decision by Elon Musk’s firm remains awaited by its colossal user base. 
Meanwhile, a renowned digital assets institution took a contrasting stand in light of X’s decision to retire the emoji.

<h2 id="nexo-proposes-for-btc-emoji-to-unicode-consortium">Nexo Proposes For BTC Emoji To Unicode Consortium</h2> 
Intriguingly, Nexo appears to be pushing for the global adoption of the Bitcoin emoji, which is in stark contrast to X’s decision. In a post on X today, July 26, the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/cryptocurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cryptocurrency</a> firm highlighted that it proposed to the Unicode Consortium for a BTC emoji to be added to digital keyboards worldwide. A verdict regarding this matter is expected by November 30 this year. 
The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit firm dedicated to developing, maintaining, and promoting software internationalization standards across the globe. The BTC emoji petition filed by Nexo garnered support from industry prominencies, including Bitget, Polygon, Chainalysis, OKX, and many others.
