The popular social media app is looking to introduce crypto and stock trading options from within the app as Musk aims to penetrate financial markets.
Popular social media platform Twitter is reportedly set to introduce a new feature that will allow users of the platform to trade cryptocurrencies, and stocks. The new feature is being launched in partnership with fintech firm eToro, reported CNBC.
Twitter users will be able to browse market charts for a wider variety of financial instruments and purchase and sell crypto as well as other assets through eToro. The latest partnership between the social media platform and fintech firm will expand on Twitter’s “cashtags” feature that currently allows users to view real-time trading data from TradingView.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk had earlier floated the idea of making Twitter an all-in-one app, with a focus on building an ecosystem that would offer users access to a number of online facitlties in one place.
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
