Twitter is now providing price charts with search results for major cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin and ether. Elon Musk, the owner of the social media platform, said that this new feature is “one among many product improvements coming from financial Twitter.”

Twitter launches price chart feature

Twitter tweeted Wednesday, announcing that it now provides price charts for major stocks and exchange-traded funds.

“When you tweet the symbol of a major stock, ETF, or crypto currency with a $ in front of it (like $BTC), people on Twitter see a clickable link that takes them to search results,” the official Twitter Business account explained, adding:

Starting today, these search results will include the pricing graphs for major symbols.

The social media giant also said: “You can also directly search for symbols without having to click on a link in a tweet.”

Twitter added: “You can also search for symbols directly, without clicking on a link within a tweet.”

Robinhood is a U.S-based trading platform that offers price charts for both traditional investments and cryptocurrency. Each price chart includes a link to the trading platform.

Many people on Twitter are excited about the new feature. Some users noted that Robinhood was not available in their country and suggested that they prefer Twitter to use other price information providers.

At the time of writing, the only cryptocurrencies that have price charts displayed are BTC and ETH. Even though dogecoin (DOGE), Elon Musk’s favourite cryptocurrency, does not yet have a price chart. The Tesla CEO and Twitter chief, who is also known in the dogecoin community as the Dogefather, has said repeatedly that he will keep supporting and buying dogecoin.

Musk has been trying to find new revenue streams for his social media company after many advertisers pulled out. He commented on the price chart feature and wrote:

One of many product improvements coming to financial Twitter!

The billionaire recently promised to step down as head of the social media platform. “I will resign from the CEO position as soon as I find someone stupid enough to accept the job!” Musk stated Tuesday that he would continue to run the software and servers teams.
