Peruvian investors have traditionally accessed US shares via local brokerages with international products, foreign brokers, or mutual funds, dealing with FX conversion, custody arrangements and account minimums. Tokenized US stocks provide direct 1:1 exposure to the underlying equities, self-custodied from roughly $1.

What Peru investors should know
Funding
USDC is commonly obtained in Peru through local crypto exchanges and P2P on-ramps that turn soles into stablecoins held in a self-custody wallet. Demand for dollar-denominated savings is well established.
Currency & FX
The local currency is the Peruvian sol (PEN). Because GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, the investor holds dollars and carries FX exposure between the sol and the US dollar.
Local market
Peru's primary exchange is the Lima Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Valores de Lima, BVL), which trades during local hours. Tokenized stocks, by contrast, trade 24/5 on-chain outside those hours.
Tax
Gains may be taxable under local rules, and the tax treatment of tokenized securities can diverge from that of traditional shares. A local tax adviser can provide guidance tailored to individual circumstances.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Peru can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
