BTC0,71%

X social media platform product lead Nikita Bier revealed that the platform plans to launch a new feature “within a few weeks” that allows users to buy and sell stocks and cryptocurrencies directly on their feed, further moving toward Elon Musk’s long-term vision of an “Everything App.”

According to Nikita Bier, one of the core aspects of the new feature is the so-called “Smart Cashtags.” In the future, when users click on stock or cryptocurrency symbols (such as $TSLA, $BTC) in posts, they will not only be able to view real-time price information but also execute trades directly within the X app, seamlessly integrating investment activities with social interaction.

At the same time, X is also preparing to launch its own payment system, “X Money.” Musk stated that the system has completed internal closed testing and is expected to be available to select users within one or two months.
