X is preparing to launch “Smart Cashtags” within the next few weeks, a feature that will let users see live pricing data for stocks and cryptocurrencies directly inside their timeline. The update was confirmed by head of product Nikita Bier, who said the tool will also include links that allow users to trade assets without leaving the app.

The platform will not execute trades itself or act as a brokerage. Instead, Smart Cashtags will surface real time charts and redirect users to external partners for execution. Bier previously teased the feature in January and said the underlying API will support near real time data for onchain assets, including smaller cap tokens that are not listed on major exchanges.

The move builds on X’s broader push into financial services, alongside its upcoming payments product, X Money. At the same time, Bier said the company plans to tighten rules around crypto related spam and automation, signaling that trading features will launch alongside stricter enforcement.
