Elon Musk’s X app is introducing Smart Cashtags, linking ticker symbols to real-time financial data. Users can specify assets like stocks or crypto with cashtags like $BTC or $NVDA.

X plans to gather user feedback before a public release next month for the Smart Cashtags feature. There is no confirmation if the feature will involve trading or monetization. The move aligns with X’s goal to become a real-time financial information platform as users discuss markets and trading activities on the app.

Musk’s XAI secures $20 billion in funding from Nvidia and Cisco. Musk envisions X as an all-encompassing app, including payments and financial services.
