Singapore-based investors have long reached US equities through local and international brokers with deep global-market access, dealing with currency conversion and custody arrangements but relatively little friction. Tokenized US stocks add another route, giving direct 1:1 exposure to the underlying share, self-custodied and startable from about $1.
Know before you fund
What Singapore investors should know
Funding
A person in Singapore can acquire USDC by exchanging Singapore dollars for stablecoins on a locally licensed exchange that permits on-chain withdrawals, then withdrawing the USDC into a self-custody wallet.
Currency & FX
The national currency is the Singapore dollar (SGD), which is managed against a basket and behaves like a floating currency here. Because GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, an SGD/USD exchange exposure sits alongside the stock's performance.
Local market
The primary venue is the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Tokenized US stocks settle on-chain on a 24/5 basis, outside local trading hours.
Tax
Whether gains are taxable depends on local rules, and tokenized securities may be treated differently from directly held shares. This is not tax advice; consult a Singapore tax professional about your position.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Singapore can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
