TechFlow news, January 18 — Nikita Bier, X's product lead and Solana advisor, previously disclosed that Smart Cashtags for intelligent asset tagging are currently under development. Some crypto community members have raised concerns about the platform's crypto asset lookup backend, suggesting that certain low-market-cap cryptocurrencies not yet listed on major centralized exchanges might not be searchable, potentially forcing users to switch to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) for information. In response, Nikita Bier stated that the API (application programming interface) used by X will be capable of processing nearly any on-chain minted asset in near real-time.
Additionally, when asked whether self-custody wallets or even CEX widgets could eventually enable cryptocurrency trading directly on X, Nikita Bier did not provide a clear answer, responding only with an "eye" emoji indicating attention.
