Elon Musk Introduces a Unique Feature on Twitter Editors News
  • It appears BTC and ETH are the only two cryptocurrencies having price charts.
  • Twitter and Robinhood have not revealed any specifics about their partnership.

On Tuesday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk introduced a new Twitter feature exclusively dedicated for investors, traders, financial experts, and organizations. With the new Cryptocurrency feature, users can look for the price of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) by simply typing their names or tickers into the search bar. Users can view graphs and data for major stocks, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), and cryptocurrencies all within a tweet.

Twitter adds Only BTC & ETH Price Indexes

Twitter’s new feature facilitates its users with the Crypto market’s trading data by partnering along with the Giant in the Market Tracking, TradingView platform. The platform is able to customize technical indicators, create charts, and analyze financial assets. Moreover, the charts include a “View on Robinhood” link in the lower left-hand corner. Robinhood is an online discount brokerage that provides a commission-free investing and trading platform. In this chart, that implies the retail trading platform has collaborated with Twitter on this integration. 

It was reported that Twitter was considering developing a native cryptocurrency that would be used for platform payments. The reports started on December 4, roughly a week after Musk provided a sneak peek at “Twitter 2.0,” which may include the inclusion of cryptocurrency-based payments on Twitter.

As per reports, the billionaire Elon Musk is aggressively looking for a new chief executive officer (CEO) for Twitter. This comes after Elon Musk polled Twitter users on whether he should step down as CEO of the platform. Almost ten million people said they agreed.
