Former X product lead Nikita Bier said a crypto trading button is expected to arrive on X, pointing to a broader push to make crypto activity native to posts on the platform. Responding to comments about 「limiting Crypto Twitter exposure,」 Bier said that during his time at X he launched Cashtags, a feature that lets posts display price charts for Solana and Ethereum directly inside the feed. He added that users can already paste contract addresses for newly issued tokens into posts.
According to Bier, the addition of a trading button would allow users to buy and sell tokens directly inside an X post rather than leaving the platform for another trading venue. He did not provide a launch date, say which assets would be supported, or name any trading partner tied to the feature.
Bier also commented on the recent rise in the crypto market. In his view, the move has been driven mainly by expectations of dollar weakness after the U.S. Treasury expanded the size of its long-term Treasury buybacks. The Treasury had earlier said it would raise some long-term buyback operations to at least $4 billion, a step that has fueled discussion about pressure on the dollar.

On the recent crypto market rally, Bier said the main driver was expectations of U.S. dollar depreciation after the U.S. Treasury expanded the scale of long-term Treasury buybacks. The Treasury had previously announced that some long-term buyback operations would be increased to at least $4 billion, a move that has already sparked discussion about pressure on the dollar.
