Elon Musk's social media platform X is preparing for a new move that will further strengthen its position in the world of cryptocurrencies and finance.
Nikita Bir, an advisor at X, announced that a new feature will soon be available, allowing X users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly through the platform.
A Cryptocurrency Buy/Sell Button is Coming Soon!
Bir made this statement in response to a user's claim that X had recently restricted access to their cryptocurrency accounts.
Responding to these claims, Bir stated that he himself developed the Cashtags feature, which allows directly adding Solana and Ethereum price charts to posts, and that the next step will be buy and sell buttons.
"...We created the 'Cashtags' feature, which allows users to directly add Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) charts to their posts. A buy/sell button will be added soon."
Following Nikita Bir's statement, attention shifted to the questions of when, for which assets, and with which financial partners X will provide access to these buy/sell buttons.
X's Cryptocurrency Move is Not News!
X's entry into the financial and cryptocurrency market actually began several months ago. The Smart Cashtags feature was launched by the platform in April 2026.
This feature, initially launched for iPhone users in the USA and Canada, allows viewing real-time price information and charts for stocks and cryptocurrencies directly within posts.
In conclusion, Bir said: "Before my arrival, X had no distinctive features for cryptocurrency investors," highlighting the significant progress X has made in the cryptocurrency space.
