Elon Musk’s X has rolled out Smart Cashtags, a new feature that allows users to view stock and crypto data in real time without leaving their timeline, according to product manager Nikita Bier.
Cashtags, first introduced in January, is available to iPhone users in the United States and Canada. The tool links stock and crypto tickers to live price charts and associated posts within the app.
The update allows users to tag specific assets or smart contracts, reducing confusion between cryptocurrencies, stocks and other instruments with the same name.
When users search or post a cashtag or contract address, X automatically suggests matching assets to improve accuracy. Tapping on a cashtag displays both chat and market data without leaving the platform, as Bier noted.
š¯•¸ has always been the best source of financial information for traders and investors. Billions of dollars are allocated every day based on what people read on Timeline.

This launch reinforces X’s growing position as a key real-time platform for financial information.
X adds one-click trading access for Canadian users
Bier also announced a pilot partnership with Wealthsimple that will allow Canadian users to transact directly from Cashtags.
Starting today, when users tap a stock or crypto ticker on X, they are taken directly to Wealthsimple to complete a transaction.
The flow is designed as a one-click transition from conversation to order entry. Users select a cashtag from posts or search results and are taken to a pre-populated trading screen for the corresponding asset on Wealthsimple.
This update is part of X’s efforts to connect market information with execution, reducing friction between content and trading.
The pilot is a first look at new financial features to come, X’s product manager said.
X Money, a payments and financial services platform, is expected to roll out early public access this month, as confirmed by Musk.
Designed to compete with services like Venmo and PayPal, X Money aims to support transfers, wallets, cards and account management as part of a broader initiative to create an all-in-one platform.
