Twitter developers have added a feature that displays price charts for the most popular cryptocurrencies in response to relevant search queries.
One of many product improvements coming to financial Twitter!
Nice work by Twitter team. https://t.co/CKLH8OtDDW

Users can enter the name or ticker of a digital asset in the search tab.
As of writing, support for tickers of other cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin, had not been implemented. The feature, however, works for their full names.
The initiative develops the so-called $Cashtags — a combination of the $ symbol and the ticker or name of a public company or ETF. In response to such a search query, the platform will display a chart and a link to Robinhood, through which one can obtain a snapshot of the asset. The parties did not disclose details of any possible collaboration.
Elon Musk promised further improvements focused on finance, and the team aims to broaden cryptocurrency coverage in the coming weeks.
Earlier, the owner and CEO of the social platform shared slides from the Twitter 2.0 update presentation, which sparked expectations about cryptocurrency integration.
The billionaire made a proposal as early as April.
In early 2022, the social network added the ability to use NFTs as profile avatars. The option was available to iOS Twitter Blue subscribers after linking an Ethereum wallet to their account.
In September 2021, Twitter announced a system for verifying non-fungible tokens.
