X 现在允许美国用户通过 Cashtags 进行交易

X will now allow users to trade from their timelines. The Elon Musk-owned social network on Wednesday launched a feature called Cashtag that will let U.S. users on X place stock trades via participating brokerages. Initial partners in the effort include Interactive Brokers, Moomoo, Gemini, Kraken, and Coinbase.

X 现在允许用户直接从时间线进行交易。这家由埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）拥有的社交网络于周三推出了一项名为“Cashtag”的功能，允许美国的 X 用户通过参与的券商进行股票交易。该项目的首批合作伙伴包括盈透证券（Interactive Brokers）、富途牛牛（Moomoo）、Gemini、Kraken 和 Coinbase。

The move takes advantage of what users on X have been doing for years: talking about stocks and, in more recent years, crypto. In 2008, the financial platform Stocktwits even came up with the idea for X-precursor Twitter’s Cashtags, which placed a dollar sign ($) in front of stock ticker symbols to make market conversations easy to find and reference. However, those Cashtags were about tracking the conversations around a particular stock, not actually trading them.

此举利用了 X 用户多年来一直在做的事情：讨论股票，以及近年来讨论加密货币。2008 年，金融平台 Stocktwits 甚至为 X 的前身 Twitter 构思了 Cashtags 的概念，即在股票代码前加上美元符号（$），以便于查找和引用市场讨论。然而，当时的 Cashtags 仅用于追踪围绕特定股票的讨论，并不能进行实际交易。

Now that X has moved into the financial space with X Money, that’s changed. Now, Cashtags, which turn ticker symbols for stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies into interactive destinations, will give X users the option to trade stocks.

随着 X 通过 X Money 进入金融领域，情况发生了变化。现在，Cashtags 将股票、ETF 和加密货币的代码转化为交互式入口，为 X 用户提供了交易股票的选择。

“Cashtags close the gap between a ticker on the timeline and the market itself. When you post or tap a ticker, you’re taken right to the asset, where you have seamless access to the live chart, the conversation around it, and now the ability to trade with one of our brokerage partners,” said Mridul Singhai, X Product Engineering lead, in a statement shared with TechCrunch.

X 产品工程主管 Mridul Singhai 在与 TechCrunch 分享的一份声明中表示：“Cashtags 缩短了时间线上的代码与市场本身之间的距离。当你发布或点击一个代码时，你会被直接带到该资产页面，在那里你可以无缝访问实时图表、相关讨论，现在还可以通过我们的券商合作伙伴进行交易。”

To use the new feature, users who tap on a supported Cashtag will be able to view the asset’s price chart and related posts on X. They can then tap “Trade” to continue at a participating brokerage. There, they’ll sign in and complete their trade. Users can also tap on a brokerage partner to reach their mobile app or website to log in to their existing account or sign up for a new one, X notes.

要使用此新功能，用户点击支持的 Cashtag 后，即可查看该资产的价格图表及 X 上的相关帖子。随后，他们可以点击“交易”（Trade）跳转至参与的券商平台。在那里，用户登录后即可完成交易。X 指出，用户也可以直接点击券商合作伙伴，跳转至其移动应用或网站，登录现有账户或注册新账户。

“With our Cashtag partners, we’re connecting the financial conversation to action. People come to X to discover what’s happening, shape the conversation, and act in real-time on what matters to them,” Monique Pintarelli, SpaceXAI’s head of Global Advertising, said in a statement. “Our Cashtag partners make it possible to move seamlessly from discovery and conversation to a brokerage, without breaking the moment.”

SpaceXAI 全球广告主管 Monique Pintarelli 在声明中表示：“通过我们的 Cashtag 合作伙伴，我们将金融讨论与实际行动联系了起来。人们来到 X 是为了发现正在发生的事情、塑造讨论，并对他们关心的事情实时采取行动。我们的 Cashtag 合作伙伴使这一切成为可能，让用户能够从发现和讨论无缝过渡到券商交易，而无需中断当前的体验。”

However, the feature could spur more market manipulation by the way of AI-controlled bots, spammers, and other bad actors, who could attempt to shift the conversation in one direction or another. But one could argue that this is already happening on X today, even without the direct connection to brokerages.

然而，该功能可能会通过人工智能控制的机器人、垃圾邮件发送者和其他不良行为者引发更多的市场操纵，他们可能会试图将讨论引向特定方向。但也可以认为，即使没有与券商的直接连接，这种情况在今天的 X 上也已经存在。
