Electronic trading major Interactive Brokers Group, Inc (NASDAQ:IBKR) today announced a new integration with X Cashtags that gives US investors a direct path from following stock and crypto conversations on X to trading on Interactive Brokers.
Investors can now search a stock or crypto ticker on X — such as $AAPL or $BTC — to see live price charts, market data, and real-time commentary from traders, analysts and public figures. From the ticker page, users can tap the embedded “Trade” button and select Interactive Brokers to research further or place a trade — or, for new users, to sign up for an IBKR account in just a few steps.
To celebrate the launch, new IBKR clients in the United States who open and fund a qualifying IBKR account through the Cashtags experience will receive $100 to start investing.
“X is where many investors discover breaking news and exchange ideas. By connecting that experience to Interactive Brokers, we are creating a powerful new path from market insight to action – and introducing more investors to the breadth, value and capabilities of the IBKR platform,” said Tamara Makonnen, Chief Marketing Officer at Interactive Brokers.
For existing Interactive Brokers clients, Cashtags make it faster to act on a stock conversation. Clients can click straight from the ticker on X to IBKR and land directly in their IBKR account, where they can research further or place a trade.
For investors who are new to IBKR, Cashtags offer an immediate introduction to one of the world’s leading global brokerage platforms. Interactive Brokers has served investors across global markets for more than four decades and serves over 5 million client accounts worldwide, with access to options, futures, currencies, bonds, prediction markets and more across over 170 global markets. IBKR clients benefit from AI-powered trading tools and some of the industry’s lowest pricing, with commissions starting at zero for stocks and ETFs, margin rates up to 55% lower than the industry average, and crypto trading for up to 85% less than competitors.
Monique Pintarelli, Head of Global Advertising, SpaceXAI, added:“With our Cashtag partners, we’re connecting the financial conversation to action. People come to X to discover what’s happening, shape the conversation, and act in real-time on what matters to them. Our Cashtag partners make it possible to move seamlessly from discovery and conversation to a brokerage, without breaking the moment.”
