X Integrates Direct Trading of Bitcoin and Stocks
The social media platform X is introducing a new feature that enables users to trade cryptocurrencies and stocks directly from their feed.
The Elon Musk-led platform X is introducing so-called "Smart Cashtags" that enable direct trading of financial assets [1]. Users will soon be able to retrieve price data and execute transactions immediately with a simple click on symbols such as "BTC" or stock tickers, without having to leave the application.
The feature is expected to become available in the coming weeks and marks another step toward Musk's vision of an "Everything App" [1]. This app is intended to unite communication, information, and financial services on a single platform.
Back in June 2025, Musk had announced plans to integrate payment services on X, for which a partnership with VISA was established [1]. The long-term goal is to develop a super app modeled after WeChat in China, where users can conduct virtually all digital activities within a closed ecosystem – from messaging and payments to government services [1].
With Smart Cashtags, X is increasingly positioning itself as an interface between social media and financial markets.
