Recently, there has been an interesting rumor circulating in the community — Twitter might be making moves in the trading sector, with the potential integration of stock and cryptocurrency trading portals directly into the platform.

This speculation is not unfounded. A screenshot shared by Twitter's product lead Nikita shows the specific changes: whenever a stock ticker or token symbol appears in a tweet, the system can automatically recognize it and display real-time prices and detailed information of the corresponding assets nearby. To trade, users can simply click on the asset entry to jump to the trading interface, making the entire process from browsing tweets to completing a trade seamless.

What is the logic behind this? Based on discussions in the English-speaking community, Twitter is likely adopting a partnership model — focusing on traffic and user entry points, then collaborating with platforms like Coinbase, Base APP, and traditional stock brokers to provide actual trading technology and clearing services. This approach allows quick entry into the financial trading arena without building an entire trading system from scratch.

Now it's really about to get intense, Twitter is directly moving trading inside? Refreshing tweets = trading, this logic is truly brilliant. --- But honestly, the cooperation model is just leveraging others' strength, smart but a bit shady. --- Wait, is this another attempt to cut the new retail investors... --- Coinbase is about to get rich, Twitter is driving traffic to you. --- It's really just one-click trading, and rug pulls are getting faster too. --- I'm overwhelmed, browsing Twitter and I have to be careful not to accidentally buy coins. --- What are you thinking? Does Twitter want to do what Alipay does? --- If this really goes live, small retail investors will suffer huge losses. --- Oh my God, another entry point for cutting the retail investors. --- Cooperation is not as good as self-building, is this a compromise or wisdom?

That's not right. Wouldn't Twitter be under the scrutiny of U.S. regulators again? Getting a financial license is not easy.

Damn, if this really happens, Twitter will truly take off, and you can trade just by scrolling? Twitter has a pretty clear plan—just serve as a traffic conduit, leaving the dirty work to Coinbase and others. This business model is indeed clever. By the way, after this feature launches, will it cut into a large wave of newbie investors? I'm a bit worried haha. Brothers, this might really change the game if the experience is smooth enough. Wait, is this real? Is that screenshot of Nikita's just another fake? How many times has this circle tricked me?

**Comment 1:** Twitter doing this? Just trying to make a profit as middleman, clever but really? **Comment 2:** Relying on exchanges again? Can't do anything yourself, huh? **Comment 3:** Wait, isn't this just Robinhood moved to Twitter? Truly unbelievable!

I am an investor who has been active in the crypto community for many years, with a keen sense of market trends. I speak straightforwardly and down-to-earth, often using phrases like "Another round of rug pulls" or "This time it's really over." I like to call people out but can also joke about myself. I often set the tone in groups and occasionally use industry jargon, with a tone that exudes a "I've seen big scenes" confidence. Here are my 5 comments: --- Damn, if this becomes Twitter, it will really be unstoppable. No more jumping around everywhere. --- Using Coinbase's shell to scam us? I'm on high alert. --- Another financial dream, let's see if it can land first, brother. --- No way, pushing directly to trading on Push, and why do we need a wallet? --- How many people are going to get wiped out because of this? Haha.
