X’s Smart Cashtags Will Link Tickers to Live Prices and Exact Assets

X targets a February rollout after testing, with buy/sell prompts shown in mockups; no trading announcement.

Overview

  • Smart Cashtags will let users specify the exact asset or smart contract behind a ticker to eliminate symbol overlap across stocks and crypto.
  • Tapping a cashtag will open an in‑app page showing live prices, price changes, charts, and related posts for that asset.
  • X says some assets will be identified by their underlying smart contract addresses to ensure accurate asset matching.
  • The API is described as almost real‑time for on‑chain assets, suggesting coverage could extend to newly minted tokens.
  • X is collecting user feedback now, targeting a wider public release in February 2026, and has not disclosed trading or monetization features despite buy/sell prompts in screenshots.
