New Feature Brings Real-Time Prices and Asset Insights to Social Platform
X is preparing to roll out a new feature called Smart Cashtags, designed to let users track real-time price movements for cryptocurrencies and stocks directly within posts and discussions. The update is expected to launch next month and represents another step toward the platform’s long-term goal of becoming an Everything App.
Smart Cashtags will expand on the platform’s earlier cashtag experiment by adding live pricing data, asset-specific discussions, and contextual news. Users will be able to view recent mentions, market activity, and background information related to crypto tokens and publicly traded companies. For digital assets, the feature is also expected to surface smart contract details, adding a layer of transparency.

Concept images have hinted at possible “Buy” and “Sell” buttons, fueling speculation about future in-app trading. While no official confirmation has been given, the visuals suggest deeper financial integration than previous iterations.
The update aligns with Elon Musk’s vision to integrate finance, payments, and information into a single platform. X has already secured money transmitter licenses in multiple U.S. states, laying groundwork for future financial services.If successful, Smart Cashtags could turn X into a real-time hub for market data and financial conversation, blending social media with investing tools.
