X launched its Cashtags feature in the US and Canada, providing real-time financial data such as cryptocurrencies, and is piloting trading integration with brokerages.

CoinFeed reported on April 15th that Nikita Bier, product manager of the X platform, announced the launch of the Cashtags feature on iPhones in the US and Canada, providing users with real-time financial data. When users search for or post content containing Cashtags or contract addresses, X automatically recommends matching stocks or crypto tokens. Clicking on a Cashtag allows users to view related posts and price charts without leaving the app. X also announced a pilot integration with Canadian brokerage Wealthsimple, where Canadian users will see a trading button on their Cashtags and can complete trades directly within X. Bier stated that Cashtags is just the first step, with web, Android, and global launches coming soon.
