X launches Cashtag Partner Program enabling users to trade crypto and stocks directly from ticker symbols via integrated brokerages including Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini.

X has launched the Cashtag Partner Program in the U.S., integrating a "Trade" button directly into Cashtags—ticker symbols representing stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, and other assets. Users can now tap a supported Cashtag to view price charts and related posts, then select "Trade" to route to a participating exchange or brokerage. The initial partner cohort includes Interactive Brokers, Moomoo, Gemini, Kraken, and Coinbase.
The program does not execute trades within X itself. Instead, selecting "Trade" directs users to the partner's native mobile app or web platform to complete their order. This approach preserves the regulatory separation between X's platform and the execution layer, keeping transaction settlement outside the social network.
The scope of this rollout—which partners may expand the lineup, geographic expansion plans, or feature refinements—remains unannounced. Whether the program will eventually support additional asset classes or custodial options is also unclear.
