With Key Twitter Partnership, eToro Is Now Literally in Social Trading
<p class="MsoNormal">eToro, a
leading social trading and investing network, announced its partnership with <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/tag/twitter/" target="_blank" rel="follow">Twitter</a> to integrate real-time asset prices into the social media platform's
$Cashtags feature. eToro told Finance Magnates that Twitter's owner Elon Musk was not directly involved in the deal. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The new
feature means Twitter users will get direct access to trading from the social
platform owned by Elon Musk, whose recent actions suggest he wants to move the
app closer to the financial industry. The latest
move will see eToro join the growing trend of the popularity of finance on
Twitter, called ‘fintwit’, becoming a true social trading app.</p><p>Twitter and eToro Announce

the growing trend of financial discourse on Twitter, with a recorded 498
