X is launching a feature allowing US users to trade stocks directly via Cashtags on the platform, bridging the gap between social media market discussion and actual trading. The move integrates financial transactions into the existing Cashtag system that users already use to reference stocks in posts.
Background
Cashtags (#ticker) have long been used on X to reference stock tickers in posts, creating organic market discussion communities. This move positions X as a social-finance platform, following similar integrations by other social networks.
