X Set to Integrated Direct Crypto and Stock Trading Within Weeks

X (formerly Twitter) is preparing to launch a major financial update that will allow users to trade stocks and cryptocurrencies directly from their timeline within the next "couple of weeks". The feature, officially titled "Smart Cashtags," was confirmed by X's Head of Product, Nikita Bier, on February 14, 2026. This move is a significant step in Elon Musk's vision to transform X into an "everything app" capable of handling all monetary transactions.

Key Details of the Launch:

Direct Timeline Trading: Users can execute trades immediately upon seeing a ticker symbol (e.g., $BTC or $TSLA) without leaving the app.

Enhanced Data: Tapping a Smart Cashtag will display real-time price charts, live market intelligence, and related mentions.

On-Chain Integration: The system will use X’s API to provide near real-time data for any asset minted on-chain, including DeFi tokens and small-cap assets not yet on major exchanges.

X Money Ecosystem: The trading functionality is part of the broader X Money service, which is currently in a closed internal beta and expected to roll out to limited external testers in March or April 2026.
