Good evening!

Big shake-up today for the BookTok & Bookstagram folks.

Here are the 7 things you missed today:

1. 💰 X Money is Partnering with Visa

Today, X announced the launch of a digital wallet and peer-to-peer payments services provided by Visa, the largest US credit card network. Visa will be the first partner for the “X Money Account” which enables X users to move funds between traditional bank accounts and their digital wallet, similar to Zelle or Venmo. (CNBC)

2. 🤩 Pulling an Uber in the $500 Billion Smartphone Industry

What if you invested in Uber before they went public?

Mark Cuban turned them down at a valuation of $10 million and missed out on a 919,900% return when they went public at over $80 billion!

And by the time we hear about industry-changing disruptions like this, it's usually too late… but right now there’s a tech startup making waves behind the scenes. Like Uber turned vehicles into income-generating assets, they’re turning smartphones into the easiest passive income source imaginable.

They were named the #1 fastest growing software company by Deloitte in 2023 and have already earned over +$325M for their customers.

This tech startup is Mode Mobile, and unlike Uber you have a chance to invest in their company at just $0.26/share before they go public.

6. 📚 Bookshop.org is Challenging Amazon With E-Books

Indie bookstore backer Bookshop.org has launched its own e-book platform.

Bookshop’s alternative shares a cut of sales with independent bookstores across the US and can be read on competitor e-readers like Kobo or Boox. (TechCrunch)
