Elon Musk’s X plans to introduce smart cash tags, a new feature aimed at improving the way financial assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies are referenced on the platform, Nikita Beer, head of product at X, said on Sunday.

This feature allows users to specify the exact asset or smart contract when tagging a ticker, reducing ambiguity across cryptocurrencies, stocks, and other financial instruments. Tap on a smart cashtag to see real-time price data along with posts that reference the same asset.
