According to Cointelegraph, X’s newly launched Cashtags feature—introduced this Tuesday—has generated approximately $1 billion in trading volume within two days. The feature allows users to select specific assets or contract addresses when posting; clicking the tag displays real-time price charts and related posts. Currently, Cashtags is available exclusively to iPhone users in the U.S. and Canada. Canadian online brokerage Wealthsimple has already integrated the feature, enabling users to jump directly to its trading platform; however, no U.S.-based brokerages have yet connected. Additionally, X’s peer-to-peer payment system, X Money, is also under development and plans to offer features including interest-bearing accounts and cashback debit cards. X Money has already secured money transmission licenses in over 40 U.S. states. These initiatives form part of Elon Musk’s strategic vision to transform X into a “super app.”
According to Cointelegraph, Tempo—a payment-focused Layer-1 public blockchain backed by Stripe and Paradigm—recently launched its new “Zones” feature, enabling enterprises to conduct stablecoin transactions within permissioned environments while maintaining interoperability with public-chain liquidity. This functionality is primarily targeted at use cases such as payroll distribution, fund management, and B2B settlements. However, the feature has drawn criticism from industry observers due to its operator-centric design. Each Zone is controlled by a single operator who can view all transaction data and has the authority to suspend users’ transfer or withdrawal privileges in accordance with compliance requirements. Critics argue that this introduces a trust assumption akin to that of centralized exchanges, thereby deviating from blockchain’s core trustless principle.
It is reported that Bybit has launched a “Flexible Savings” feature for its Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) Bot, enabling users to automatically earn returns on supported assets they hold. Once enabled, the assets deployed in the DCA Bot continue generating returns while the user’s DCA plan proceeds as originally scheduled—without interruption. Users can activate the Flexible Savings feature when creating a new DCA Bot or editing an existing one. Additionally, Bybit has concurrently launched a DCA Rewards Carnival, running from April 10 to May 15. To participate, users simply need to enable Flexible Savings and meet certain conditions—including reaching the minimum DCA amount and maintaining an active bot—to receive USDT rewards and additional yield boosts.
