BlockBeats report: On February 15, Elon Musk’s social platform X plans to launch stock and cryptocurrency trading features within the coming weeks. Company product lead Nikita Bier stated that the platform will introduce a “Smart Cashtags” feature, allowing users to click on stock or token tickers within posts and complete trades directly within the app.
Meanwhile, X’s self-developed payment system, “X Money,” is preparing to launch external beta testing within one to two months. Musk said the system has been running in internal testing and will gradually be opened to select users in the future.
This move is seen as a significant step toward Musk’s vision of the “Everything App,” aiming to integrate social, payment, and investment functions into a single platform, allowing users to complete daily digital activities without leaving the app.
In the crypto space, Musk’s companies have previously made investments. Tesla currently holds approximately 11,509 Bitcoin, and SpaceX holds around 8,285 Bitcoin. Musk has also publicly supported Dogecoin on multiple occasions, even suggesting he might “send DOGE to the moon.”
