X announced plans to introduce “Smart Cashtags,” a feature that links specific tickers to real-time price data and smart contracts for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Solana-based tokens. Head of Product Nikita Bier revealed the tool shortly after facing criticism from the crypto community over a now-deleted post that proposed limiting reply frequencies for active users. Executives indicated the feature could launch as early as next month to improve financial discussions on the platform.
