Argentines have historically reached US equities through local brokers offering CEDEARs, through international brokerage accounts, or via ADRs, routes that have often involved currency-control paperwork, FX frictions and account minimums. Tokenized US stocks provide direct 1:1 exposure to the underlying shares, self-custodied from roughly $1.

What Argentina investors should know
Funding
USD stablecoins like USDC are commonly acquired in Argentina through local crypto exchanges and P2P marketplaces that convert pesos into stablecoins held in a self-custody wallet. Appetite for dollar-linked savings is notably high across the country.
Currency & FX
The local currency is the Argentine peso (ARS). Since GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, an investor holds value in dollars and therefore carries FX exposure between the peso and the US dollar.
Local market
The country's main equity market is operated by Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA), open during local hours. By contrast, tokenized stocks settle on-chain and trade 24/5 beyond those windows.
Tax
Depending on local rules, gains may be subject to tax, and tokenized securities can be treated differently from traditional equities. A qualified Argentine tax adviser can clarify how these rules apply to an individual.
