Twitter Expands Crypto Price Search: Adds 30+ Tokens

• Twitter has quietly expanded its crypto price search feature, adding at least 30 more tokens.
• The new tokens include Tether (USDT), XRP (XRP), Binance USD (BUSD), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), Litecoin (LTC), Dai (DAI), Avalanche (AVAX), Uniswap (UNI), Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB).
• Notable omissions include BNB (BNB), USD Coin (USDC), OKB, Lido Staked Ether (stETH), Polkadot (DOT) and Tron (TRX).

Twitter has recently expanded its new crypto feature that enables users to search the price of individual tokens, adding at least another 30 tokens. The new additions are part of the social media giant’s „$Cashtags“ feature, announced by the Twitter Business account on Dec. 21. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) were the first to be part of the new feature. Tweeting or searching for a crypto token or ticker symbol with a dollar sign ($) in front now links to pricing graphs for those symbols.

Cointelegraph found 30 of the top 50 tokens by market capitalization, including Tether (USDT), XRP (XRP), Binance USD (BUSD), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), Litecoin (LTC), Dai (DAI), Avalanche (AVAX), Uniswap (UNI), Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB). The inclusion of Dogecoin (DOGE) was especially welcomed by its Twitter community, given that new Twitter CEO Elon Musk has offered words of support for the cryptocurrency on many occasions.

Despite the expansion of the crypto price search feature, there were still some notable omissions at the time of writing. These included BNB (BNB), USD Coin (USDC), OKB, Lido Staked Ether (stETH), Polkadot (DOT) and Tron (TRX). It remains to be seen whether Twitter will add these tokens in the near future.

The new crypto price search feature is part of Twitter’s effort to make its platform more crypto-friendly. In addition to adding new tokens, the social media giant has also introduced a new feature that allows users to tip others in crypto. This feature has been particularly popular with the Dogecoin community, with many users using it to tip each other in Dogecoin.

The expansion of Twitter’s crypto price search feature is likely to be welcomed by the crypto community, as it will provide them with easier access to real-time price data. With more tokens being added in the future, it could become an even more useful tool for traders and investors.
