Social media giant X is taking concrete steps to create an X username marketplace for inactive accounts on the platform. This new initiative could bring valuable usernames that have been unused for a certain period back into circulation.
How will the X username marketplace work?
According to reports, X is positioning this new system as a “marketplace.” This platform will offer usernames from accounts that have been inactive for a certain period to new owners through auction or direct sale.

Since Elon Musk took over the platform, many changes have been introduced. Purging inactive accounts and releasing these usernames was one of the most requested features by the community. Therefore, the new system is highly anticipated.
This new marketplace could offer significant opportunities for both brands and individual users. They will have access to usernames they have long desired but have been unable to obtain. However, how the system will be managed fairly and how potential abuse will be prevented remains a key question.
