X will let users trade stocks and cryptocurrencies directly from timelines via a forthcoming Smart Cashtags feature, Nikita Bier, X's head of product, said in an X post on Saturday. The platform previously offered a basic cashtag price-tracking system in 2022 but discontinued it; the new integration aligns with owner Elon Musk's push to add payments and make X an "everything app."
