X Brings In-App Trading to Crypto and Stocks via Cashtags

Elon Musk's social media platform X has rolled out an in-app trading feature for cryptocurrencies and stocks, allowing users to turn financial discussions into actual trades.

The new feature, now live for U.S.-based users, enables them to tap on a cashtag, such as $BTC or $TSLA, to access live charts and related posts.

Users can then click on the 'Trade' button to navigate to one of X's partner platforms, including Interactive Brokers, Moomoo, Gemini, Kraken, and Coinbase, where they can log in or create an account to finalize their trading orders.

X is not functioning as a broker but rather facilitating quick access to financial transactions in response to relevant content on the platform.
