Investors in Iraq have generally reached US shares through international brokers or intermediaries offering global access, navigating USD conversion, higher minimums, and onboarding formalities. Tokenized US equities simplify this with direct 1:1 exposure that is self-custodied and available from around $1.

What Iraq investors should know
Funding
Obtaining USDC in Iraq typically means converting Iraqi dinars through a locally-licensed exchange and withdrawing to a self-custody wallet. The dinar floats against the US dollar, so the amount of USDC received reflects the exchange rate at the time of conversion.
Currency & FX
Iraq's currency is the Iraqi dinar (IQD), while GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins. Because the dinar's value moves against the dollar, the cash leg carries genuine IQD/USD exposure.
Local market
The Iraq Stock Exchange is the country's main venue for listed shares. Tokenized US stocks trade 24/5 on-chain, beyond those local hours.
Tax
Provided for general information and not as advice: gains may be taxable depending on local rules, and tokenized-security treatment may vary. A local tax adviser can clarify how these apply to your circumstances.
