German investors have long reached US equities through Xetra-listed ADRs, neobrokers like Trade Republic and Scalable Capital, or US brokers that often gate non-residents, each adding FX spreads, custody limits, or paperwork. Tokenized stocks give direct 1:1 exposure to the real US share, self-custodied, from about $1.
Know before you fund
What Germany investors should know
Funding
Most German investors fund by SEPA transfer to a regulated euro on-ramp, convert EUR to USDC, and move it to a self-custody wallet, no US bank account required.
Currency & FX
Germany uses the euro (EUR). GM Markets settles in US-dollar stablecoins, so a euro-based investor takes on EUR/USD exposure alongside the stock: a stronger dollar adds to euro returns, a weaker one subtracts.
Local market
Germany's main venues are Xetra and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange; tokenized US stocks instead trade 24/5 on-chain, outside local exchange hours and settlement windows.
Tax
Germany taxes investment gains, and the treatment of tokenized securities may differ from directly-held shares. These rules change over time, confirm your position with a qualified German tax adviser.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Germany can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
