X Turns Into a One‑Stop Trading Hub
X, the platform owned by Elon Musk, is set to enable users to buy and sell stocks and crypto right from their feeds in just a few weeks. The new feature, called Smart Cashtags, will let users click on ticker symbols in posts and execute trades directly through the app.
The move comes as X prepares to open a beta test of its own payment system, X Money. Musk said the service is already live in internal tests and will be offered to a small group of users within one or two months.
The goal is to transform X into a single place where people can chat, post, send money and invest—all without leaving the app. Musk has called this a step toward his “everything app” dream, likening it to adding banking services inside the platform.
Other Musk companies have already dipped into crypto. Tesla holds about 11,500 bitcoins after buying a large amount in 2021, while SpaceX owns around 8,300.
