X rolls out crypto and stock trading directly from timeline cashtags
- —The Cashtag feature launched on September 15 for U.S. users
- —Partners include Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Interactive Brokers and Moomoo
- —X is not a broker or custodian — trades execute on partner venues
- —X reports roughly 132 million daily active users on mobile
Why it matters: A one-tap path from a viral post to a market order shortens the route to execution and raises manipulation risks around tickers.
