X Launches Smart Cashtags for Real-Time Crypto and Stock Prices
X Plans ‘Smart Cashtags’ to Link Crypto and Stock Tickers to Live Prices
X is preparing a new feature called Smart Cashtags that will connect crypto tickers and stock tickers to live market information inside the app, according to comments attributed to X’s head of product, Nikita Bier.
The idea is to make tickers more interactive in the timeline. Tapping a Smart Cashtag will open an in-app page showing live prices, price changes, charts, and posts mentioning the asset.
The feature is designed to reduce the need to switch between X and other market data apps or exchanges. By placing pricing, basic charting, and related discussion in the same interface, X would turn cashtags from simple text markers into a navigational layer for tracking assets in real time.
Smart Cashtags also point to a broader trend in social platforms adding financial data tools directly into conversations. For users who follow markets on X—whether for crypto, equities, or both—integrated price pages could make it faster to move from commentary to live context without leaving the feed.
