X Unleashes Trading Power with Expanded Cashtag Program

X has expanded its Cashtag feature in the United States by linking users to participating trading platforms. The new program allows users to tap a Cashtag, see price data and related posts, and then select 'Trade' to continue to a partner brokerage.

The feature was first launched on April 14, 2026, as a way for users to interact with stock and crypto symbols directly on the platform. Since its launch, the trading pilot has generated an estimated $1 billion in global trading volume within three days.

X Product Engineering Lead Mridul Singhai explained the change by saying that Cashtags 'close the gap between a ticker on the timeline and the market itself.'
