Hungarian investors have often reached US equities through the Budapest Stock Exchange ecosystem, European neobrokers, or international brokers layering on forint conversion, custody constraints, and documentation. Tokenized stocks provide direct 1:1 exposure to the real US share, self-custodied, from roughly $1.
Know before you fund
What Hungary investors should know
Funding
Because Hungary uses the forint rather than the euro, a resident would typically convert HUF into USDC on a locally-licensed exchange and withdraw those stablecoins to a self-custody wallet. The USDC are then ready to fund tokenized-stock purchases.
Currency & FX
Hungary's currency is the forint (HUF), whereas GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, so an investor takes on HUF/USD exchange-rate exposure in addition to the stock's own movements.
Local market
The Budapest Stock Exchange is the country's main venue and operates during set local hours. Tokenized stocks settle 24/5 on-chain, extending access beyond those trading hours.
Tax
Hungary may tax investment gains, and tokenized securities could be treated differently from ordinary shares. As these rules change over time, check your position with a qualified Hungarian tax adviser.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Hungary can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
