X is Building a Smart Cashtags Feature Tracking Crypto, Stock Prices
X is launching a "Smart Cashtags" feature next month to show real-time crypto and stock prices, potentially including in-app trading.Summary
Elon Musk's X platform is preparing to roll out a "Smart Cashtags" feature next month, designed to provide users with real-time price movements for cryptocurrencies and stocks. Nikita Bier, X's head of product, stated that users will also access smart contract information for crypto tokens, alongside "mentions" showing recent discussions and news related to the underlying companies. This initiative aligns with Musk's broader vision of transforming X into an "Everything App." This is X's second attempt at such a feature, following a previous Cashtags function that was removed. The new version appears more robust, with concept screenshots teasing "Buy" and "Sell" buttons, suggesting potential in-app trading capabilities, although details on this remain unconfirmed. X has secured money transmitter licenses in at least 25 US states, hinting at future financial integration.
