Xto Add In‑Feed Stock and Crypto Trading via Smart Cashtags in Coming Weeks

The move advances Musk’s super‑app vision by anchoring finance features to an in‑house payments beta.

Overview

  • Nikita Bier said Smart Cashtags will launch in a couple of weeks, enabling users to execute stock and crypto trades directly from ticker tags in the timeline.
  • Elon Musk said X Money is live in internal testing, with a limited external beta expected within 30–60 days.
  • Smart Cashtags will surface market data in‑feed, and interface leaks reported by outlets suggest integrated buy and sell buttons.
  • Bier said X is updating API rules to block apps that collect fees from non‑consenting users or drive spammy behavior.
  • Reports say X has a Visa partnership and money‑transmitter licenses in 40+ U.S. states, with New York oversight still a hurdle and trade execution potentially handled by external brokers.
