This recent innovation is a modification of “$Cashtags” and was published by the social protocol’s Business account on Wednesday.

According to the publication, anytime an individual creates a Twitter post containing characters of main digital stocks, mutual funds or digital currencies adding $ before it, it will allow individuals to see hyperlinks that would get them redirected to a search that displays the trading rate chart for those characters.

Additionally, the publication highlights that merely clicking to search for the ticker character for stock or digital currency directly takes an individual to the trade rate chart.

Twitter chair Elon Musk made a Thursday tweet introducing the recently integrated feature, adding that this is a bit of the diverse products mapped out for the reality of a “financial Twitter.”
