Global AI investment intelligence firm BridgeWise
has announced a partnership with social media giant X to provide social
sentiment analysis for financial markets, adding a new layer of data to its
AI-driven investment platform.

The integration allows institutional investors to track
real-time market sentiment across thousands of securities using data drawn from
global online conversations.
API Integration and Sentiment Analysis
This collaboration shows how social media data is becoming part of
mainstream investing. Until recently, most institutions relied mainly on
prices, company reports, and research.
According to the information shared with Finance Magnates, the deal aims to enable users see what investors talk about in real
time. By turning posts on X into sentiment scores inside an AI platform,
BridgeWise will also enable funds track market mood in a structured way, rather than
scraping feeds on their own.
The firms have reportedly connected their systems through an API that
feeds X’s data stream into BridgeWise’s analytics engine. The platform
processes unstructured content and converts it into sentiment scores using the
firm’s S-Factor framework. BridgeWise also uses technology from Context
Analytics, which it recently acquired, to improve data filtering and reduce
noise.

The resulting product, called “SentimentWise,” delivers
structured insights designed to support trading and risk analysis. The system
combines sentiment data with existing fundamental and technical indicators
available on the platform.
Gaby Diamant, Co-founder and CEO of BridgeWise, said the
integration reflects the growing role of real-time sentiment in financial
markets. He stated that the system helps investors identify relevant signals
from large volumes of online discussions.
Institutional Use and Market Impact
BridgeWise said the new capability is available to its
institutional clients, including hedge funds and quantitative firms. The
platform provides a broader view of market activity by combining traditional
financial data with sentiment indicators derived from social media.
Christopher Park, Director and Global Lead of Developer
Platform at X, said the partnership enables financial institutions to
incorporate real-time conversation data into their workflows.
While several firms in online investing already work with X,
their collaborations mostly centre on content and retail access rather than
analytics. Social trading platform eToro, for example, uses its partnership with X to distribute financial education content and livestreams to users on
the social network, positioning X primarily as a distribution and engagement
channel rather than as a direct input to institutional trading models.
X deepens financial push with Cashtags
More recently, Canadian fintech Wealthsimple launched an X
integration that lets users move from Cashtags into its app to view and trade
stocks, tying X into the order‑execution journey for retail
clients.

In contrast, BridgeWise is targeting professional investors by feeding
X’s data stream directly into its AI engine
to create institutional‑grade sentiment signals for hedge
funds, quant funds and other financial institutions, positioning social media
as a core analytical input rather than just a front‑end
touchpoint.
X has been moving deeper into finance with features that
turn its feed into a trading and information layer, not just a place to talk
about markets. This month, it rolled out Cashtags for users in the US and
Canada on iPhone, letting them tap ticker symbols or crypto contract addresses
to see live charts and related posts without leaving the app.
