Elon Musk’s X is planning to roll out Smart Cashtags that let users execute cryptocurrency and stock trades by clicking ticker symbols in timelines. The feature is part of X’s strategy to expand into financial services, moving beyond social networking to a broader fintech platform.
X is also preparing an external beta for X Money, the platform’s own payment system, with internal testing underway. Musk has described X as an all-in-one platform for messaging, posts, remittance, and investments, signaling a major shift toward financial services.
