Smart Cashtags, a feature under development at Elon Musk’s X to refine how assets such as stocks and crypto are integrated into the platform, will let users trade them straight from the timeline, Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, said Saturday.
Bier framed the move as part of an effort to support crypto without enabling behaviors that degrade the platform’s social experience.
The statements follow Bier’s earlier comment on a post by Argentine tech entrepreneur Santiago Siri about Peter Steinberger, the mind behind Clawdbot, now OpenClaw.
Siri argued that Steinberger’s claims of losing up to $20,000 per month clash with his public disapproval of crypto enthusiasts attempting to tokenize his projects, suggesting he may be overlooking substantial potential fees.
Bier called Siri’s perspective “the most dishonest” he’d seen, stressing that apps collecting fees from non-consenting users would backfire.
The X product chief said X is updating API rules to prevent such apps, aiming to foster crypto innovation without harming the user experience.
