StockTwits is the world’s largest social media platform designed specifically for traders and investors, enabling real-time sharing of market ideas, sentiment, and trading strategies across stocks, ETFs, and crypto. Founded in 2008 by Howard Lindzon and Soren McBeth, the platform introduced the revolutionary “cashtag” (a stock symbol preceded by a dollar sign, like $TSLA) to group discussions around specific securities, a feature that became a staple of financial social media.
With over 10 million users and 8+ million registered investors, StockTwits serves as the leading social platform for investors and traders to tap into real-time market sentiment and trending insights. The platform functions as a standalone network where users share market sentiment, ideas, and strategies in real-time, making it the global voice of finance and investing. StockTwits leverages AI to surface trending stocks and crypto, identify sentiment shifts, and highlight key takeaways from the community, helping users act fast with confidence.
StockTwits offers a free mobile app available on iOS and Android with optional in-app purchases and subscription plans including Edge Monthly, Yearly, Plus Monthly, Plus Yearly, and Lifetime Membership options. The platform allows users to track trending stocks, follow live earnings, watch sentiment shift in real-time on any device, access professional analysis, and invest in stocks and ETFs commission-free.
