Overview
- X’s head of product Nikita Bier announced Smart Cashtags on Jan. 11, initiating a user feedback phase.
- The feature lets posters tag an exact asset or smart contract to remove ambiguity across stocks and cryptocurrencies.
- Tapping a cashtag will display live pricing and related mentions, powered by an API Bier said is almost real-time for on-chain assets.
- Screenshots that include buy and sell prompts prompted analyst questions about potential in-app trading, which remains unconfirmed.
- X is positioning the tool to broaden on-chain coverage and formalize its role in market information flow, with a public release targeted for next month.
