Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global broker, has announced a new integration with X Cashtags, giving US investors a direct route from following stock and cryptocurrency 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 a few steps.
To mark 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.

Tamara Makonnen, Chief Marketing Officer, Interactive Brokers said:
"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."
For existing Interactive Brokers clients, Cashtags make it faster to act on a stock conversation, allowing them to click straight from the ticker on X to IBKR and land directly in their account, where they can research further or place a trade.
For investors who are new to IBKR, Cashtags offer an introduction to the platform. Interactive Brokers has operated 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 other instruments across more than 170 global markets. The broker offers commission-free trading on stocks and ETFs, alongside margin rates it states are up to 55% lower than the industry average, and cryptocurrency trading it says is up to 85% cheaper than competitors.
