While commenting on this latest cryptocurrency news, Yoni Assia, CEO and Co-Founder of eToro said;

“Financial content on social media has provided education to many who have felt excluded by more traditional channels. Twitter has become a crucial part of the retail investing community – it’s where millions of ordinary investors go every day to access financial news, share knowledge and converse. As the social investing network, eToro was built on these very principles – community, knowledge-sharing and better access to financial markets. There is power in shared knowledge, and by transforming investing into a group endeavour, we can yield better results and become more successful, together.”

The social media giant added pricing data for $Cashtags in December last year, and the feature has already gained massive adoption. There have been more than 420 million searches for $Cashtags since the start of the year, with an average of  4.7 million $Cashtag searches a day

Chris Riedy, Vice President, Global Sales & Marketing at Twitter, commented that; 

“Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about right now. We believe real change starts with conversion, and finance and investing are a growing part of that conversation. We are pleased to partner with eToro to provide Twitter users with additional market insights and greater access to investment capabilities. Twitter will continue to invest in growing the #FinTwitter community.”
