The biggest enemy of exchanges has finally appeared.
X has already started taking action. 📌 Cashtags officially launched Simply enter $BTC / $ETH / $SOL 👉 Real-time prices 👉 Trends 👉 Related discussions 👉 Sentiment density This step may seem like just “checking prices,” but essentially, it’s about taking the market entry point out of the exchange’s hands. Don’t forget, what does X have? 400–600 million monthly active users The highest density of #Crypto Twitter (CT) across the entire network The first place for sentiment, narratives, and consensus to emerge Even more aggressive is the second step. 👉 X × #Polymarket has already partnered What does this mean?

This is no longer just an information platform, it’s — the gathering place on the eve of pricing. Many people are still focused on transaction fees, coin listings, and contract depth between exchanges. But the reality is: The biggest enemy of exchanges has never been competitors. It’s — 👉 Who captures users’ attention first 👉 Who shapes users’ perceptions first 👉 Who becomes the “first entry point” Now X has already secured: ✅ Information entry ✅ Sentiment entry ✅ Expectation entry ✅ Narrative entry Only the last piece of the puzzle remains: Asset deposit, withdrawal, and settlement layer. Once this step is completed: Third-party payments Stablecoin channels Aggregators / Lego-style financial modules Whatever form it takes, the threat to traditional exchanges is now within visible range. By then: Exchanges may still be matching trades, but users’ “trading decisions” are no longer made there. The real war, is not on the order book, but in — attention and perception layers. And in this war, X has already fired the first shot.
