Elon Musk's X brings bitcoin and stock trading closer to the timeline

In this news:

Elon Musk’s X has made it easier for its U.S.-based users to turn crypto and stock market chatter on their timeline into trades without leaving the app for long.

This feature, now live, allows U.S. users to tap a cashtag like $BTC or $TSLA, see their live charts and related posts and hit the "Trade button. Tapping “Trade” then takes users to one of X’s partner platforms – Interactive Brokers, Moomoo, Gemini,

Kraken or Coinbase – where they can log in or sign up and complete the order.X is just letting users act quickly on financial chatter on their timeline, without acting as a broker. The actual buying and selling still happens at one of the partner exchanges.

Cashtags have been available on X for years as a way to follow financial market chatter. Earlier this year, the company upgraded them with real-time prices and charts.

Adding a direct path to trade is the next step in Elon Musk’s effort to turn X into a broader finance destination.

“Cashtags close the gap between a ticker on the timeline and the market itself,” Mridul Singhai, X’s product engineering lead, said.
