Elon Musk’s X to Launch In-App Crypto and Stock Trading Within Weeks

Published at 2026-02-14 17:45:13

X has confirmed that it will enable in-app trading for both crypto and stocks, allowing users to click ticker symbols in posts and execute trades without leaving the platform. The company’s head of product said the capability will begin rolling out within weeks, although X has not yet disclosed partner firms, custody arrangements, or fee structures.

If implemented broadly, the feature could significantly boost engagement and open a new revenue stream for X by turning social posts into direct trading opportunities. Regulators and market participants will likely scrutinize how X handles custody, order routing and potential market manipulation risks. For users, the change promises greater convenience; for oversight bodies, it raises questions about investor protection and platform responsibility as trading becomes native to social media.
