X Launches Handle Marketplace for Redistributing Unused Usernames

Social media platform X has announced the upcoming launch of a Handle Marketplace, allowing eligible Premium subscribers to request and acquire unused usernames through complimentary or paid options, according to details received by The Chenab Times.

The announcement was made in a post by the official @XHandles account on Sunday. “Handles are coming… Join the waitlist at https://handles.x.com/login,” the post stated, accompanied by a short video.

The marketplace is described as an “industry-first solution to redistribute handles that are no longer in use.” Eligible users can search and make requests, with the platform initially opening to Premium+ subscribers on the waitlist in the coming weeks.

Users interested in specific handles are encouraged to join the waitlist for early access. The initiative has generated reactions from the community, with some praising it as a monetization idea and others questioning aspects like pricing models.
