X Is Turning Your Timeline Into a Trading Floor

1/ 🚀 Big news: X is about to let you trade stocks and crypto directly from your timeline.

2/ No links. No switching apps. Just type a cashtag like $BTC or $AAPL — click a button — and trade. Attention + execution in one place.

3/ Nikita Bier, X’s Head of Product, confirmed it: Smart Cashtags are rolling out in the next couple of weeks.

4/ He also called out the spam-heavy, raid-driven crypto culture that’s been wrecking X for millions of users.

5/ His goal? Let crypto grow without destroying the platform experience for the masses, just to make a few people rich.

6/ How it works in practice:
💹 Spot a cashtag.
🟢 Click the new buy button.
💸 Execute your trade instantly.
Your feed becomes your trading floor.

7/ Every fintech and exchange is fighting for attention. X already has it — hundreds of millions scrolling every day.

8/ Now those users can act on what they see immediately — without downloading another app.

9/ The winners in finance won’t be platforms with the fanciest dashboards.
The winners will be the ones already embedded in daily life.

10/ This is real adoption:
Trading where people already spend their time, not building yet another standalone app.

11/ 💡 X isn’t just adding crypto.
It’s changing how millions interact with finance — one scroll at a time.

Indeed, and a huge blow to a lot of exchanges and fintechs.
