#TradeCryptosOnX
As of February 20, 2026, crypto trading is not yet live on the X platform (formerly Twitter), but it is on the verge of launching through the "Smart Cashtags" feature.
Announced by X's Head of Product, Nikita Bier, on February 14, this update will allow users to interact with ticker symbols (e.g., $BTC) directly in timelines, viewing real-time prices, charts, and aggregated posts.
However, X will not act as a brokerage or execute trades itself; instead, it will route buy/sell orders to licensed partner brokers for off-platform processing, ensuring compliance with SEC and FINRA regulations.
This partner-led model avoids X becoming a full crypto exchange while integrating financial tools into the app.
The feature is in internal testing and expected to roll out within weeks, potentially boosting crypto adoption by blending social media with trading.
Elon Musk's vision for X as an "everything app" includes this, but full implementation details, like specific partners, remain undisclosed.#CryptoTrading. #XPlatform #SmartCashtags #ElonMusk
