This follows a previous announcement in January and aims to enhance the platform's financial capabilities, aligning with Elon Musk's vision of creating an "everything app". The X platform, which has around 600 million monthly users, is also testing a payments feature called X Money, expected to launch globally after a two-month beta phase. The upcoming Smart Cashtags feature on the X social media platform will allow users to trade stocks and crypto directly within the application, according to Nikita Bier, X’s head of product. “We are launching a number of features in a couple of weeks, including Smart Cashtags that will enable you to trade stocks and crypto directly from the timeline,” Bier said in an X post on Saturday. Bier announced the upcoming rollout of Smart Cashtags in January, teasing the possibility of in-app trading in an image showing the feature in the announcement, but no official confirmation. The X platform introduced a basic Cashtag system in 2022 that tracked the prices of major stocks and cryptocurrencies and provided visual financial data for supported assets, including Bitcoin and Ether , but the feature was discontinued. Cointelegraph reached out to X about the upcoming feature, but did not receive a response by the time of publication. The X platform is a hub of crypto-related activity, and the integration of in-app trading brings it closer to owner Elon Musk’s stated goal of becoming an “everything app,” similar to WeChat, a messaging and social media app in China with integrated payment features. ***Related:*** ***Musk's xAI seeks crypto expert to train AI on market analysis*** **X inches into payments as it attempts to become an “everything app”** Elon Musk provided an update on Wednesday for the launch timeline of X Money, the platform’s payments feature that will allow users to send each other money, similar to Venmo or Cash App. Speaking at his AI company xAI’s “All Hands” presentation, Musk said the X Money feature is still in a limited beta testing phase over the next two months, with a worldwide rollout after the testing phase concludes. “This is intended to be the place where all money is. The central source of all monetary transactions,” he said. The X platform has about 600 million average monthly users, according to Musk. “We want it to be such that if you wanted to, you could live your life on the X app,” he added. ***Magazine:*** Bitget’s Gracy Chen is looking for ‘entrepreneurs, not wantrepreneurs’ ### Related Stocks - [HUT.US - Hut 8 Mining](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HUT.US.md) - [CLSK.US - CleanSpark](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CLSK.US.md) - [HOOD.US - Robinhood](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HOOD.US.md) - [ABTC.US - American Bitcoin](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ABTC.US.md) - [GLXY.US - Galaxy Digital](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GLXY.US.md) - [CRCL.US - Circle](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CRCL.US.md) - [MARA.US - Mara](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MARA.US.md) - [LTCN.US - Grayscale Litecoin Trust (LTC)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LTCN.US.md) - [RIOT.US - Riot Platforms](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RIOT.US.md) - [BKKT.US - Bakkt](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BKKT.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 期权热点｜上周五 HOOD 大涨 6%，部分看涨期权飙升 500% | 美东时间 02 月 13 日，Robinhood 期权总成交 500683 张，看涨期权占比 64%，看跌期权占比 35%。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276030136.md) | | 期权热点｜上周五 RIOT 大涨 7%，部分看涨期权飙升 400% | 美东时间 02 月 13 日，RIOT 期权总成交 112387 张，看涨期权占比 48%，看跌期权占比 51%。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276030248.md) | | 期权热点｜上周五 MARA 大涨 9%，部分看涨期权飙升 100% | 美东时间 02 月 13 日，Marathon Digital 期权总成交 306843 张，看涨期权占比 67%，看跌期权占比 32%。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276030109.md) | | 美股夜盘异动：比特币夜盘涨 3.54%，突破 7 万美元引发市场波动与估值风险警惕 | American Bitcoin 夜盘涨 3.54%；Palantir Tech 夜盘跌 0.77%，成交额达到 16.57 百万美元；Strategy 夜盘跌 0.17%，成交额达到 6.38 百万美元；IREN 夜盘跌 0.45%，成交 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276089443.md) | | 期权热点｜上周五 CRCL 大涨 6%，部分看涨期权飙升 600% | 美东时间 02 月 13 日，Circle 期权总成交 121245 张，看涨期权占比 68%，看跌期权占比 31%。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276030122.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
