Social media platform X on Tuesday launched Cashtags, a feature that surfaces live price charts and related posts for stocks and crypto tokens directly in users' timelines.
The feature, currently available only on iPhone in the U.S. and Canada, was announced by Head of Product Nikita Bier, who said the platform influences billions of dollars in investment decisions daily based on what users read in their feeds.
Cashtags work by letting users type a dollar-sign ticker or paste a contract address into a post or search bar. X then suggests matching assets so users can select the right one. Tapping a cashtag opens a dedicated view that shows the asset's price chart alongside posts that mention it, all without leaving the app. Supported assets include major equities, cryptocurrencies, and memecoins using contract addresses on networks such as Solana and Base.
