Elon Musk’s X is bringing market information and trading access closer to users’ timelines. In the United States, users can tap cashtags such as $BTC to open live price charts and reach external trading platforms, including Coinbase and Kraken. The feature links conversations about bitcoin and other assets with tools for monitoring prices and accessing participating services. X’s update places market data and platform connections within the social network’s existing cashtag experience, potentially making it easier for users to move from an asset-related post to a trading venue. The development was reported by CoinDesk. The information supplied does not specify which other assets are supported, whether trades can be executed directly inside X, or whether the feature is available outside the U.S.
