Twitter has integrated cryptocurrency prices into search results by utilising a plug-in from charting platform TradingView. Users can use the integration to generate the current value and a price chart by typing crypto or stock tickers into the search bar. The end result also contains a link to the trading app Robinhood. The social media behemoth has had several ties to the cryptocurrency industry in recent years, including the addition of a tipping feature in September 2021 while the company was led by Jack Dorsey. It has since been taken over by Elon Musk, who spearheaded plans to invest $1.5 billion of Tesla’s balance sheet in bitcoin, the majority of which has now been sold.
