Recently, the X platform's Cashtags search rankings revealed interesting data. According to the latest reports, the platform's product lead and a certain public chain ecosystem advisor Nikita Bier shared the top 10 search trends from early December 2025 to early 2026.

The results are quite intriguing. Traditional financial assets are mixed with crypto assets—Bitcoin mining company IREN surged by 308% due to a shift toward AI business, firmly securing a top position on the list. $BTC and $ETH, as the two giants by market cap, naturally attract attention, and long-standing community favorites like XRP and GME are also on the list. Interestingly, some emerging projects have directly entered the top ten thanks to their popularity, reflecting the market's desire for new concepts.

More importantly, the X platform is preparing to launch the "Smart Cashtags" feature. Simply put, after clicking on a tag, users can see real-time market data, and it may even support trading. This blurs the line between posting and trading—social and financial activities are really merging.

If a social platform with 700 million users integrates financial features, what impact will this have on market liquidity and the speed of information dissemination? At least from the Cashtags popularity rankings, the market is actively preparing for this change.

BTC-1,32%

ETH-1,89%

XRP-3,78%

Is it true that IREN surged 308%? It seems a bit unbelievable. As soon as Smart Cashtags launched, retail investors are probably going to get rekt again. Wait, what does this mean? Did X directly turn into an exchange? 700 million users + trading features, is this some kind of financial novel? Brothers, have you all jumped on this wave? It feels like it's about to take off again.

Whoa, IREN directly 308%? Isn't this a straight all-in move? X's recent integration of finance is truly amazing. The next step is to place an order directly in the comment section. $BTC $ETH's popularity remains stable, which is normal, but the fact that new projects can break into the top ten shows that the market is indeed looking for new blood. Social trading will come sooner or later. The only question is who will do it the fastest. Before the Smart Cashtags go live, I need to accumulate more coins. It feels like this will be a traffic explosion point. If this move really connects the trading chain, retail investors and small traders are probably about to be harvested again, haha. Is GME still on the leaderboard? This guy is really resistant to falling. X is the true decentralized exchange, even more fierce than those DEXs. Information asymmetry—this might need to be redefined. A trading platform with 700 million users—just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

IREN surged 308%? How come I just found out now, I need to check my holdings list --- Wait, are Smart Cashtags really going to launch? This means the crypto world and Twitter are really going to be integrated --- Posting directly turns into trading, this logic is a bit savage, but... I kind of look forward to it --- XRP and GME are still in the top ten? These two old players are really sticky, algorithms can't save them --- 700 million users plus financial features, what will happen to liquidity if there's an accident? Just thinking about it is exciting --- New projects making it into the top ten rely on hype? Why do I feel like they're all just sh*tcoins haha --- Smart cashtags sound very sexy, but will they be shut down by regulators once they go live? --- So now chasing hype and trading coins has become the same thing, is this a good thing or a trap?
