X will now let U.S. users trade via cashtags

X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, enabled U.S. users to trade stocks and other securities directly through cashtags on the platform. Cashtags are hashtags prefixed with a dollar sign that users can click to view financial information about a company or asset. The feature integrates trading functionality with discussion threads, allowing users to execute transactions without leaving the application.
