X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is set to enhance its user experience by integrating a new feature called Smart Cashtags. This innovation allows users to click on ticker-style tags, enabling them to access real-time market data, charts, and relevant posts directly within the app. Notably, Solana tokens, including BONK, have been highlighted in previews shared by Solana Labs, indicating their inclusion in the Smart Cashtags asset suggestions.
The announcement, made by Nikita Bier, X”s head of product, reveals that the Smart Cashtags initiative aims to identify specific financial assets, spanning both stocks and cryptocurrencies. Users will be able to tap on a Smart Cashtag from their timelines, leading them to an asset page that displays live price data, interactive charts, and a stream of posts related to the asset. Bier also mentioned that user feedback is being collected as the development progresses, with a public rollout potentially occurring next month.
This feature is particularly advantageous for the Solana ecosystem, which has recently gained traction. As of January 2026, Solana experienced a surge in institutional interest, with tokenized real-world assets on the network reaching a record $873.3 million, marking a 10% increase in December and an 18.4% rise in the number of holders.
With the introduction of Smart Cashtags, users can tag Solana-based tokens and seamlessly access charts and pertinent information without leaving the platform. This change is expected to foster greater visibility for tokens like BONK within a bustling social media environment, providing users with a centralized view of price data and trending discussions.
However, the announcement follows a recent controversy where parts of the crypto community criticized a now-deleted post by Bier that many interpreted as imposing limits on user engagement. Despite these challenges, the Smart Cashtags feature promises to streamline access to important market data directly from the X platform.
As of the latest data, Solana (SOL) is trading at $141, reflecting a 3.96% increase in the past 24 hours. Its market capitalization is reported at $79.89 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume of approximately $5.05 billion.
