X has launched the U.S. Cashtag Partner Program, linking Bitcoin and other supported tickers to five outside trading platforms. Users can view charts and posts on X, then complete trades through Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Interactive Brokers or Moomoo.
X announced the U.S. Cashtag Partner Program with Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Interactive Brokers and Moomoo, letting users select "Trade" after opening a supported ticker such as $BTC. The transaction itself happens through the selected partner's app or website, not on X.
Cashtags connect market posts with trading platforms
A user can search for a supported Cashtag or tap one appearing in a post. X then displays a live price chart and posts linked to the asset before presenting participating trading providers, who handle sign-in, account opening and the final order.
According to crypto.news, X Product Engineering Lead Mridul Singhai said: "Cashtags close the gap between a ticker on the timeline and the market itself." His statement describes X's goal of cutting the steps between viewing a financial discussion and reaching a trading venue.
The program extends the U.S. Cashtag launch with Coinbase, Kraken and other trading partners, which previously went live with five participating platforms and required trades to be completed outside X.
Kraken and Interactive Brokers confirm participation
Kraken independently confirmed it is an official U.S. Cashtag launch partner, saying its integration supports Cashtags covering nearly 2,500 assets across its centralized and decentralized exchange offerings. Geographic restrictions and account eligibility still apply.
Interactive Brokers separately confirmed the integration for U.S. investors. New eligible U.S. clients opening and funding qualifying accounts through the Cashtag experience can receive a $100 promotional credit under its launch offer. Moomoo has described itself as one of X's first U.S.-regulated brokerage partners, while X identified Coinbase and Gemini as the remaining launch partners.
Built on the Smart Cashtags rollout
The trade links build on Smart Cashtags, which X began rolling out earlier in 2026 to tie ticker symbols and crypto contract addresses to specific asset pages. An expanded version reached iPhone users in the U.S. and Canada in April, and X Head of Product Nikita Bier later said the pilot drove an estimated $1 billion in global trading volume within several days — a company estimate that has not been independently audited.
The Cashtag program remains separate from X Money, the platform's payments product. Nothing in the announcement indicates users can fund trades directly from an X Money balance; X's process sends users from the Cashtag page to the partner platform for login and execution. X has not announced a date for expanding the program beyond the United States or named additional trading partners.
