X Clarifies Trading Role – Platform Will Not Act as Broker

Product Head Nikita Bier confirms the social media platform focuses on financial data tools, redirecting actual trade execution to external partners despite upcoming "Smart Cashtags" integration.

Fact Check
The available primary sources include direct public statements from X's head of product, Nikita Bier, on the company's official platform, clarifying that X will not act as a broker, will not handle trade execution, and will instead focus on Smart Cashtags. These statements are authoritative and come directly from a high-ranking company official, providing strong primary evidence of the company's stated stance. Additional social media posts from reliable accounts corroborate this stance, citing the same official statements. Regulatory and competitor information from other sources provide contextual understanding, but the primary evidence lies in the direct statements from the company's leadership, which are explicit and unambiguous. No credible sources reviewed contradict these statements, and there is no evidence suggesting X has taken actions inconsistent with them. The consistency across multiple corroborating reports and the direct nature of the statements lead to a high probability that the claim is accurate.
