Can X’s new Smart Cashtags bring attention back to crypto?
X (formerly Twitter) has announced “Smart Cashtags,” a feature that will add live price data to posts mentioning stocks, cryptos and on-chain assets. With billions already tokenized on blockchains, there’s more to this than price tracking alone.
Can social media turn into a serious financial platform?
Bigger ambitions are on the table
The idea behind Smart Cashtags is that instead of basic ticker mentions, users would tag specific assets, including cryptocurrencies and even individual on-chain contracts. Tapping a cashtag would pull up live price data and a stream of related posts, all without leaving the timeline.
