X has launched an updated Cashtag feature for users in the United States, enabling direct access to trading platforms from within the social media application. The service went live on September 22, 2026, and allows users to click on asset tags to view real-time price charts and initiate trades.
The platform partners with several exchanges and brokerages, including Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Interactive Brokers, and Moomoo. When a user clicks the Trade button, they are redirected to the selected partner to complete the transaction. X does not execute trades, hold assets, or process financial transactions.
This update expands on the Smart Cashtags feature introduced earlier in 2026. While the previous version provided market data, the new functionality serves as a referral engine. The integration covers both cryptocurrency exchanges and traditional brokerage services for stocks and other assets.
The launch follows the beta release of X Money, a payment service introduced between June and July 2026 that currently supports only fiat transactions. By routing users to licensed exchanges, X avoids the regulatory and custodial requirements associated with handling digital assets directly.
