Dutch investors have commonly reached US equities through brokers like DEGIRO or bank-linked platforms, where currency conversion and, at times, custody or handling fees chip away at returns. Tokenized stocks offer an alternative structure entirely: direct 1:1 exposure to the real US share, self-custodied, from about $1.

What Netherlands investors should know
Funding
A standard route in the Netherlands is an iDEAL or SEPA transfer to a regulated euro on-ramp, converting EUR to USDC and moving it into a self-custody wallet, no US account involved.
Currency & FX
The Netherlands uses the euro (EUR). Since GM Markets settles in US-dollar stablecoins, a euro-based investor carries EUR/USD exposure alongside the stock: a stronger dollar adds to euro returns and a weaker one subtracts.
Local market
Euronext Amsterdam is the country's main exchange; tokenized US stocks, by contrast, trade 24/5 on-chain, outside local exchange hours and settlement windows.
Tax
Investment gains may be taxable in the Netherlands, and the treatment of tokenized securities can differ from directly-held shares. As these rules evolve, confirm your position with a qualified Dutch tax adviser.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Netherlands can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
