Saudi investors have generally accessed US shares via international brokers or local intermediaries offering global market routing, dealing with currency conversion, higher minimums, and onboarding formalities along the way. Tokenized US equities offer a simpler path: direct 1:1 exposure held in self-custody, starting from roughly $1.

What Saudi Arabia investors should know
Funding
Obtaining USDC here usually means converting Saudi riyals through a locally-licensed exchange and moving the stablecoins into a self-custody wallet. The SAR's peg to the US dollar keeps FX uncertainty on that cash conversion low.
Currency & FX
The Saudi riyal (SAR) is the domestic currency, whereas GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins. The riyal's US dollar peg means FX exposure on positions stays minimal.
Local market
The Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) is the country's principal stock market. Tokenized US shares, by contrast, trade around the clock on a 24/5 on-chain basis beyond local trading hours.
Tax
For general information only and not advice: gains may be taxable depending on how local rules apply, and tokenized securities may be treated differently from conventional shares. Personal investment income is often untaxed for residents, but check your circumstances with a local tax adviser.
