What Pakistan investors should know
Funding
To hold USDC in Pakistan, a person would typically convert rupees into stablecoins on an exchange that supports on-chain withdrawals and then transfer the USDC to a self-custody wallet under their own keys.
Currency & FX
The local currency is the Pakistani rupee (PKR). Because settlement on GM Markets is in USD stablecoins, the investor carries PKR/USD currency exposure alongside the stock's performance.
Local market
The country's principal venue is the Pakistan Stock Exchange. Tokenized US stocks, by comparison, trade on-chain roughly 24 hours a day, five days a week, beyond local trading hours.
Tax
Gains may be taxable depending on local rules, and tokenized securities could be treated differently from standard shares. This is general information rather than advice, so consult a Pakistani tax professional.
