- X is building Smart Cashtags allowing users to tap tickers to open live charts, price data, and related posts in-app.
- Solana Labs shared previews showing Solana tokens (e.g., BONK) appearing in Smart Cashtag asset suggestions on X.
Elon Musk’s social media platform X is rolling out “Smart Cashtags,” a feature designed to turn ticker-style tags into interactive links that surface live market information inside the app. According to Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, Smart Cashtags are meant to recognize specific financial assets, ranging from stocks to crypto tokens and smart contracts.
Bier said users will be able to tap a Smart Cashtag from their timeline and open an asset page showing real-time price data, charts, and a feed of posts mentioning the same asset. He also said X is collecting feedback as development continues, with a possible public release as early as next month.

— Solana (@solana) January 11, 2026
As we reported earlier, Solana started 2026 with fresh institutional momentum as tokenized real-world assets on the network climbed to a record $873.3 million. The total rose about 10% in December, while the number of RWA holders increased 18.4% to more than 126,000.
X’s Smart Cashtags Add Solana Tokens
Solana Labs said the feature would allow users to tag Solana-based tokens and access charts and related information directly within X. If deployed, Smart Cashtags would place token price data and trending conversation in one view, reducing the need to leave the app to check basic market context after seeing a cashtag in a post.
The announcement arrived shortly after a separate product-related controversy on X. Parts of the crypto community criticized a now-deleted Bier post that some interpreted as signaling limits on how often highly active users could reply or participate in threads.
For Solana ecosystem tokens, the main change described so far is visibility inside a high-traffic social feed. With Smart Cashtags, users discussing tokens like BONK could be routed to a standardized asset page showing prices and related posts, rather than relying on manually shared links or third-party chart screenshots.
X has not provided a full technical description of how assets will be mapped to contracts, exchanges, or pricing benchmarks, and the previews shown to date appear limited to mockups and early product messaging. X’s head of product has indicated the company is still iterating based on feedback ahead of any broader launch.
At the time of reporting, Solana (SOL) was trading at $141, up** 3.96%** over the past 24 hours. Its market capitalization stood at $79.89 billion, while 24-hour trading volume was about $5.05 billion.
