X Introduces Smart Cashtags for Crypto Tickers, Not Trading (Yet)

X, owned by Elon Musk, is rolling out Smart Cashtags to improve clarity around crypto and stock ticker mentions but will not handle crypto trades, Head of Product Nikita Bier confirmed. The feature, expected in a few weeks, lets users specify exact smart contracts, reducing ambiguity on Crypto Twitter. While Bier stated X won't execute trades or act as a broker, future plans may enable direct trading from the timeline. Separately, Musk said X Money, the company's payments service, is in employee beta with a limited external rollout planned.
