The X platform will launch the Smart Cashtags feature in February, directly linking real-time trends of cryptocurrencies and stocks. An interface leak reveals buy and sell buttons, sparking market speculation that financial trading will be opened.
X to Launch Smart Cashtags Feature, Tweets Directly Link to Cryptocurrency Prices
Elon Musk’s X platform (formerly Twitter) has revealed that it is developing a new Smart Cashtags feature. When users click on a Smart Cashtag, X’s app will directly open a dedicated page displaying real-time prices, price changes, trend charts, and related articles mentioning the asset.
X Product Lead Nikita Bier stated that the Smart Cashtags feature allows users to precisely specify the asset they are referring to when entering tags such as Bitcoin ($BTC) or NVIDIA stock ($NVDA). The scope covers stocks and cryptocurrencies, even down to individual blockchain smart contracts.
The original intention behind designing Smart Cashtags was to reduce code ambiguity, especially in the cryptocurrency market where token codes often overlap. The system will be able to accurately identify assets through underlying smart contract addresses.
Concept diagrams shared by Nikita Bier show that, for example, $BONK corresponds to Solana smart contracts, and $BASE to assets on the Base chain, indicating that its integration depth has gone beyond simple text tagging.

X Might Open Trading for Cryptocurrencies and US Stocks? Smart Cashtags Concept Leak Reveals Buy and Sell Buttons
Following the exposure of the Smart Cashtags feature, netizens are curious whether this means X will introduce trading functions for US stocks and cryptocurrencies.
Back in December 2022, X had launched a similar Cashtags feature, but it was later removed. The leaked interface of the Smart Cashtags concept even shows “Buy” and “Sell” buttons, sparking heated discussion in the community.
Former X CEO Linda Yaccarino also announced last June that the X app would support investing and trading. Although she subsequently left the company, the leaked images suggest that related financial plans are still ongoing.

X Smart Cashtags Expected to Launch in February
However, Nikita Bier has not confirmed whether trading functions will be introduced, nor has he specified a release date. He only revealed that X plans to continue collecting user feedback to improve the experience before the official launch next month.
X’s Smart Cashtags feature reflects the platform’s attempt to solidify its position as a source of real-time financial information. As user discussions about markets and trading activities increase, providing accurate and interactive data will become its core competitive advantage.
