Slovak investors have generally reached US equities through European neobrokers or international brokers that layer on FX conversion, custody thresholds, and cross-border paperwork. Tokenized stocks give direct 1:1 exposure to the underlying US share, held in self-custody, from around $1.

What Slovakia investors should know
Funding
As a eurozone member, someone in Slovakia can move euros by SEPA transfer to a euro on-ramp and convert them into USDC in a self-custody wallet. Those stablecoins are then ready to fund tokenized-stock trades.
Currency & FX
Slovakia uses the euro (EUR), and because GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, an investor here carries EUR/USD exchange-rate exposure on top of the stock's performance.
Local market
The Bratislava Stock Exchange is the main domestic venue and trades during standard local hours. Tokenized stocks instead settle 24/5 on-chain, so exposure is available outside those hours.
Tax
Investment gains can be taxable in Slovakia, and the treatment of tokenized securities may differ from directly-held shares. Since these rules evolve, confirm your circumstances with a qualified Slovak tax adviser.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Slovakia can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
