Belgian investors have usually traded US shares through bank brokers, Bolero, or platforms like DEGIRO, absorbing EUR/USD conversion spreads and, in some cases, transaction-tax and custody costs on foreign holdings. Tokenized stocks change the structure to direct 1:1 exposure to the real US share, self-custodied, from roughly $1.
Know before you fund
What Belgium investors should know
Funding
A standard Belgian route is a SEPA transfer to a regulated euro on-ramp that converts EUR to USDC, then a withdrawal to a self-custody wallet, no US account in the mix.
Currency & FX
Belgium uses the euro (EUR). Because GM Markets settles in US-dollar stablecoins, a euro-based investor holds EUR/USD exposure alongside the stock: a stronger dollar adds to euro returns, while a weaker one subtracts.
Local market
Euronext Brussels is Belgium's primary exchange; tokenized US stocks instead trade 24/5 on-chain, outside local exchange hours and settlement windows.
Tax
Investment gains may be taxable in Belgium, and tokenized securities may be treated differently from directly-held shares. Since these rules evolve, check your circumstances with a qualified Belgian tax adviser.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Belgium can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
