Elon Musk’s social media platform X is preparing to take a new step that will further strengthen its presence in the cryptocurrency and finance world.
Nikita Bier, an advisor at X, announced that a new feature will soon allow X users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly through the platform.
Bier made this statement in response to a user’s claim that X recently restricted the visibility of their crypto accounts.
Bier, countering these claims, stated that he developed the Cashtags feature himself, which allows Solana and Ethereum price charts to be directly added to posts, and that the next step would be buy and sell buttons.
“…We’ve created a ‘Cashtags’ feature that allows users to directly add Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) charts to their posts. A buy/sell button will be added soon.”
Following Nikita Bier’s statement, attention has now turned to when, for which assets, and with which financial partners X will make these buy/sell buttons available.
X’s move into the finance and cryptocurrency space actually began a few months ago. The platform launched its Smart Cashtags feature in April 2026.
Initially rolled out to iPhone users in the US and Canada, the feature allows users to view real-time price information and charts for stocks and cryptocurrencies within posts.
Bier concluded by saying, “Before I joined, X had no distinguishing features for cryptocurrency investors,” highlighting the significant strides X has made in the cryptocurrency space.
