At StockTwits we are really excited about the future of cryptocurrencies and tokens. We see it as a brand new asset class — and potentially a completely new global stock market. As the leader in social finance, we want to spearhead the charge on social symbology and build an even larger community around these assets, so today we are excited to launch symbology, streams, pricing, and charting for over 100 cryptocurrencies and tokens. .X Gon Give it to Ya Anyone who has spent any time in fintech knows that stock symbology is a clusterf*ck. Creating a unique namespace for every security that can trade is difficult, and creating one that someone can easily chat about is even harder. If you are an investor in Ethan Allen Interiors ($ETH) on StockTwits, you know what we mean :) We sought out to create a symbology for the ever expanding list of cryptocurrencies and tokens, that would be unique from stock symbols and pretty easy to learn — and decided to go with the .X suffix. Now on StockTwits you can easily share and read posts about any cryptocurrency or token on StockTwits by using the cashtag for the symbol with .X after it (e.g. $BTC.X, $ETH.X, $LTC.X) We are currently supporting over 100+ cryptocurrencies and tokens. Below are just a few: Bitcoin ($BTC.X)Ethereum ($ETH.X)Ripple ($XRP.X)Litecoin ($LTC.X)Dash ($DASH.X)Monero ($XMR.X)BitShares ($BTS.X)Bancor ($BNT.X)Basic Attention Token ($BAT.X)Civic Token ($CVC.X)AntShares ($ANS.X) and many more!

As with any new market, especially a decentralized, unregulated one, the process and market are developing. We believe just like a hosted Slack channel, every ICO should have its own StockTwits stream where potential investors can collaborate and share audits, analysis, outlooks pre-ICO and stay and share trades, news, and analysis post-ICO. If you are a company or project planning an ICO please contact us at support@stocktwits.com so that we can list your ticker! We are excited for these new streams and building out a new, vibrant, crypto community. As always, we expect you to follow the rules of our community and we plan to enforce the same high standards that we do on regular stock streams.
StockTwits has added cryptocurrency streams and symbols to its finance communications platform, launching streams, pricing, symbology and charging for more than 100 cryptocurrencies and tokens. Users can share and read posts on StockTwits by using the cashtag for a particular currency, such as BTC for bitcoin, following by the .X suffix. This makes the tag for bitcoin $BTC.X.
