Croatian investors have historically reached US equities through the Zagreb Stock Exchange ecosystem, European neobrokers, or international brokers that impose FX spreads, custody minimums, and onboarding documentation. Tokenized stocks provide direct 1:1 exposure to the underlying US share, held in self-custody, from roughly $1.

What Croatia investors should know
Funding
As a eurozone member, someone in Croatia can send euros by SEPA transfer to a euro on-ramp and convert them into USDC held in a self-custody wallet. Those stablecoins are then available to fund tokenized-stock trades.
Currency & FX
Croatia uses the euro (EUR), and since GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, an investor takes on EUR/USD exchange-rate exposure in addition to the performance of the stock.
Local market
The Zagreb Stock Exchange is the main domestic venue, trading within fixed local hours. Tokenized stocks instead trade 24/5 on-chain, so exposure continues outside those windows.
Tax
Investment gains may be taxable in Croatia, and the treatment of tokenized securities could differ from that of directly-held shares. As these rules change over time, consult a qualified Croatian tax adviser about your situation.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Croatia can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
