In France, US equities have usually been bought through bank-linked brokers or platforms like Boursorama and Trade Republic, where a PEA account excludes US names and an ordinary compte-titres carries FX conversion costs on each order. Tokenized stocks change the shape of that access, delivering direct 1:1 exposure to the real US share, self-custodied, from around $1.
Know before you fund
What France investors should know
Funding
The usual French route is a SEPA transfer to a regulated euro on-ramp that swaps EUR for USDC, which then lands in a self-custody wallet, no US bank relationship required.
Currency & FX
France's currency is the euro (EUR). Since GM Markets settles in US-dollar stablecoins, a euro-based investor carries EUR/USD exposure next to the stock itself: a firmer dollar boosts euro returns, and a softer dollar pares them back.
Local market
Euronext Paris is the country's primary exchange; by contrast, tokenized US stocks trade 24/5 on-chain, outside local exchange hours and settlement windows.
Tax
Gains from investing may be taxable in France, and tokenized securities may not be treated the same as directly-held shares. As these rules shift over time, confirm your situation with a qualified French tax adviser.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in France can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
