Elon Musk’s X to launch Smart Cashtags for accurate asset tracking and live pricing

Elon Musk’s X plans to introduce Smart Cashtags, a new feature aimed at improving how financial assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies are referenced on the platform, Nikita Bier, X’s Head of Product, said Sunday.
