Elon Musk’s X Partners With Crypto and Stock Exchanges to Allow Trading From the Timeline

Elon Musk’s X has partnered with major crypto exchanges and stock brokers to connect financial conversations on its timeline with trading services, giving U.S. users a direct route from Cashtags to participating platforms.

X Connects Cashtags With Trading Platforms

X has expanded its U.S. Cashtag Partner Program with Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Interactive Brokers and Moomoo. The program expands Smart Cashtags, which turn ticker symbols for stocks, exchange-traded funds and cryptocurrencies into interactive pages with market information and related posts.

When users tap a supported Cashtag, they can view an asset’s price chart and posts before selecting a new “Trade” option. X then redirects users to a participating crypto exchange or brokerage where eligible customers can sign in or open an account to finalize the transaction.

However, X does not execute trades or hold customer assets through the feature. Instead, the financial companies that participate in this service manage the requirements of the account, order execution, and other trading services.

“Cashtags close the gap between a ticker on the timeline and the market itself,” X Product Engineering Lead Mridul Singhai said. Each user can switch from a ticker to a chart, other discussion threads and a participating brokerage.
