Twitter Quietly Adds BTC and ETH Price Indexes to the Search Function

Gus – Cryptocurrency expert 

By putting ‘Bitcoin’ or ‘Ethereum’ into the search field, Twitter users can now easily check the price of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) on the social media platform.

The new function wasn't made public by the Elon Musk-run social media company, only a few people noticed, but the information spread widely either way. Ether's price is visible when searching for crypto token names on Twitter, but it seems that BTC and ETH are the only two price charts that appear in the search bar. Other well-known cryptocurrencies, such as Musk's favourite Dogecoin (DOGE), have not yet been included.

According to Cointelegraph, similar searches for Bitcoin also return the price chart when you type in ‘$Ethereum,’ ‘Ethereum price,’ or ‘ETH price.’

 The lower left-hand corner of the price charts also contains a link that says, "View on Robinhood," indicating that the retail trading platform and Twitter have collaborated on this integration.

Users are then taken to the ETH price chart on Robinhood, which includes a link that reads ‘Sign Up to Buy Ethereum’ below it. 

However, no specifics of the cooperation between Twitter and Robinhood have been made public.

Given that #Bitcoin is tweeted approximately 120,000 times each day, according to statistics from BitInfoCharts, it is arguable that Twitter's price chart integration will increase traffic to Robinhood.

If alternative tweet tags like Bitcoin, $Bitcoin, BTC, and $BTC were added, the number would probably be much higher.

On the other side, #Ethereum stutters at a price around 25,000.

Following Elon Musk's Nov. 27 preview of ‘Twitter 2.0,’ which highlighted the potential integration of cryptocurrency-based payments on Twitter, rumours started to surface on Dec. 4 that Twitter may launch its own native cryptocurrency, ‘Twitter Coin,’ to be used for payments on the network.
