Elon Musk’s X has rolled out Smart Cashtags, a new feature that lets users view real-time stock and crypto data without leaving their timeline, according to head of product Nikita Bier.
Cashtags, first introduced in January, is available for iPhone users in the US and Canada. The tool links stock and crypto tickers to live price charts and related posts within the app.
The update allows users to tag specific assets or smart contracts, reducing confusion between similarly named crypto, stocks, and other instruments.
When users search or post a cashtag or contract address, X automatically suggests matching assets to improve accuracy. Tapping a cashtag displays both discussion and market data without leaving the platform, as noted by Bier.
𝕏 has always been the best source of financial news for traders and investors. Billions of dollars are allocated every day based on what people read on Timeline.

The launch reinforces X’s growing position as a key real-time hub for financial information.
X adds one-tap trading access for Canadian users
Bier also announced a pilot partnership with Wealthsimple that will allow Canadian users to trade directly from Cashtags.
Starting today, when users tap a stock or crypto ticker on X, they are routed straight to Wealthsimple to complete a trade.
The flow is designed as a one-tap transition from conversation to order entry. Users select a cashtag within posts or search results, and are taken to a pre-filled trading screen for the corresponding asset on Wealthsimple.
The update is part of X’s effort to connect market insights with execution, reducing friction between content and trading.
The pilot is an early preview of further financial features to come, X’s product chief stated.
X Money, a payments and financial services platform, is expected to roll out early public access this month, as confirmed by Musk.
Designed to rival services like Venmo and PayPal, X Money aims to support transfers, wallets, cards, and account management as part of a broader push to build an all-in-one platform.
