Elon Musk’s Twitter adds Bitcoin and Ethereum Price Charts to its Search Function

Validated Media

Elon Musk Twitter has announced the release of a new feature that allows its users to track the price of a major stock, ETFs or cryptocurrencies through the search function.

Simply Place a $ Sign in Front of the Asset Being Queried

The team at Twitter added that the new feature is accessible by simply placing a $ sign in front of the asset being queried and pressing enter.

They explained, ‘When you Tweet the symbol of a major stock, ETF, or cryptocurrency with a $ in front of it (like $BTC), people on Twitter see a clickable link that takes them to search results. Starting today, these search results will include the pricing graphs for major symbols.’

In addition, users can access the charts by searching the symbols directly ‘without clicking on a link within a Tweet.’ Most major symbols, such as QQQ, can be searched without the $ sign.

Nice Work by Twitter Team — Elon Musk

However, support for Elon Musk’s favourite meme-coin, Dogecoin (DOGE), is conspicuously missing from the charting feature on Twitter. But the Twitter team added that they plan to refine the user experience in the coming weeks and expand the platform’s financial tickers/symbols coverage.

Twitter’s owner and CEO, Elon Musk, also chimed in on the feature’s progress, congratulating the team for the achievement.

‘One of many product improvements coming to financial Twitter! Nice work by Twitter team,’ he tweeted.

Twitter’s Charts Have an Advertising Link to Robinhood

The crypto community has also quickly noted that at the bottom of each price chart on Twitter is a link to Robinhood. This, in turn, has led to the loose theory that the trading platform is using the opportunity to advertise its services on Twitter strategically. The team at @WuBlockchain shared this theory through the tweet below.

  • CFTC Warns Prediction Markets: Trader Incentive Programs May Encourage False Trading and Market Manipulation

    On August 13, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Market Oversight Division issued a regulatory advisory reminding designated contract markets (DCM) of their regulatory obligations when self-certifying market maker, liquidity, trading, or incentive programs under CFTC Rules 40.5 and 40.6. The advisory addresses the increasing number of incentive program rule filings submitted under CFTC Rule 40.6(a), particularly those related to event contract products. The CFTC noted that some of these filings contain procedural or substantive deficiencies. These deficiencies may hinder staff's ability to assess whether the DCM has adequately notified the terms of the programs and whether it has sufficiently evaluated the compliance of the relevant programs with core principles and other regulatory requirements of the Commission. The guidance clarifies staff expectations regarding the procedural and substantive requirements when submitting materials under CFTC Rules 40.5 and 40.6, including initial submissions of incentive programs, amendments or changes to relevant programs, and submission procedures.

  • Bullish Sentiment in Bond Market Rises as 10-Year Treasury Yield Falls Below 1.7%

    On August 13, the domestic bond market has seen a continued rise in bullish sentiment, with long-term rates experiencing a significant breakthrough. Market data shows that after fluctuating around 1.7% for several days, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond fell below the 1.7% mark again on August 12, closing at 1.694%. Meanwhile, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond also declined, closing at 2.160%, marking a low for the year. Industry insiders believe that the current bond market trend is driven by multiple factors including expectations of loose monetary policy, a balanced and relaxed funding environment, and institutional investors increasing their positions. However, after the key level was breached, the market's bullish and bearish dynamics intensified, and the effective conditions for a sustained downward trend in interest rates still need further validation.

The Revolutionary Guard has been severely damaged and is in retreat, while their 'leadership' can at best be described as uncertain! They have no funds—this country is already 'full of holes.' All they have are fake news and 300% inflation, and the situation is worsening! Iran is now just talk without action, no longer the bully of the Middle East!"
