X has launched a new “Cashtags” feature for iPhone users in the U.S. and Canada. The tool allows users to view real-time stock and cryptocurrency charts directly within the X app by clicking on ticker symbols prefixed with dollar signs. Canadian users can already place orders directly from Cashtags through a pilot integration with Wealthsimple.
X has launched a new feature called Cashtags that allows users to view real-time stock and cryptocurrency charts directly within the app. The feature is currently available to iPhone users in the United States and Canada.
X head of product Nikita Bier announced the rollout, stating the platform is a key source for financial news. “X has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors,” Bier wrote.
The feature turns ticker symbols prefixed with dollar signs into clickable links for financial data. Tapping a cashtag displays related posts alongside a price chart without leaving the app.
Bier pointed out the feature enables seamless trading directly from the platform. A pilot integration with Canadian brokerage Wealthsimple allows users there to place orders by tapping a built-in button.
Solana also confirmed that Cashtags will run on its network. Pricing data for Solana tokens will be powered by Jupiter Exchange, with historical data from Birdeye.
The concept underwent a brief trial in late 2022 using data from TradingView and eToro. Community reaction has been positive, with one account describing the feature as “actually really cool.”
The product’s launch coincides with renewed crypto market activity. Bitcoin recently surpassed $75,000, while Ethereum touched $2,400.
