Greek investors have historically bought US equities via the Athens Stock Exchange ecosystem, European neobrokers, or foreign brokers that impose FX spreads, custody thresholds, and additional documentation. Tokenized stocks provide direct 1:1 exposure to the underlying US share, held in self-custody, from about $1.

What Greece investors should know
Funding
As part of the eurozone, an investor in Greece can move euros by SEPA transfer to a euro on-ramp and convert them into USDC in a self-custody wallet. Those stablecoins are then available to purchase tokenized stocks.
Currency & FX
Greece uses the euro (EUR), and since GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, an investor takes on EUR/USD exchange-rate exposure in addition to how the stock performs.
Local market
The Athens Stock Exchange is the country's primary venue, operating within fixed local hours. Tokenized stocks trade 24/5 on-chain, so exposure continues outside those windows.
Tax
Investment gains may be taxable in Greece, and the treatment of tokenized securities could differ from that of directly-held shares. As these rules change over time, confirm your circumstances with a qualified Greek tax adviser.
