X Cashtags

Last updated: September 30, 2026

Kraken is an official X Cashtag launch partner in the US. When you see a crypto asset being discussed on X, you can tap its cashtag and continue straight to Kraken to buy it.

What is a cashtag?

A cashtag is an asset’s ticker symbol with a dollar sign in front of it, such as $XRP. On X, tapping a cashtag opens a page with the latest posts and a price chart for that asset.

Frequently asked questions

You can use cashtags for the assets available on Kraken, which is more than 2,400 across our centralized and decentralized exchange offerings. This includes Robinhood Chain and Solana tokens, as well as major assets such as $XRP.

If a cashtag is for an asset Kraken does not offer, or that is not available in your region, you will not be able to buy it on Kraken through this route.

Yes. If you already have a Kraken account, log in when prompted. If you are new to Kraken, you can create an account when you tap through from X. You may need to complete identity verification and fund your account before you can buy.

No. If the app is installed, it opens on the asset you selected. If not, you can sign up, log in and buy on the Kraken website.

Some of the assets you find through cashtags, including Robinhood Chain and Solana tokens, are bought through our decentralized exchange (DEX) offering. These purchases work differently from assets on our centralized exchange.

Important:

DEX trading is not a regulated financial product. You are trading via a self-custodial wallet on decentralized protocols. Kraken does not hold your assets or private keys. On-chain transactions are irreversible and cannot be canceled once submitted. Token prices are volatile and you may lose some or all of your investment. Kraken has not reviewed or approved the tokens available on the DEX, and inclusion on the token list does not constitute any endorsement, legal verification or investment recommendation. Trades are executed by third-party protocols. Kraken does not control DEX execution or guarantee order fill, timing or price. Availability varies by jurisdiction.

Open the Kraken app or website, log in, and search for the asset by name or ticker. If you still cannot find it, contact Kraken Support and let us know which cashtag you tapped.
