$BTC X CLARIFIES: No Direct Crypto Trading on the Platform
After speculation exploded, X has set the record straight.
Head of Product Nikita Bier confirmed that X will not execute trades or operate as a brokerage. The platform isn’t offering direct Bitcoin or crypto trading inside the app.
Instead, Smart Cashtags will function as financial data tools — allowing users to tap tickers, view live prices, charts, and asset details directly in their timeline. Any Buy or Sell action will redirect users to external brokers or exchange partners for trade execution.
So this isn’t X becoming a trading app — it’s becoming a powerful financial information layer.
The real play? Control the attention, own the data interface… and funnel liquidity outward.
Is this a strategic step toward something bigger down the line?
