Taiwanese investors have generally accessed US equities through local brokers with overseas-trading services or international brokerage accounts, managing New Taiwan dollar conversion, custody arrangements, and cross-border transfer paperwork. Tokenized US stocks offer direct 1:1 exposure to the underlying share, self-custodied and open from about $1.
Know before you fund
What Taiwan investors should know
Funding
Someone in Taiwan can obtain USDC by swapping New Taiwan dollars for stablecoins on an exchange that allows on-chain withdrawals, then moving the USDC into a wallet under their own control.
Currency & FX
The local currency is the New Taiwan dollar (TWD). Because GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, a TWD/USD currency exposure accompanies the price movement of the stock.
Local market
Taiwan's principal venue is the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE). Tokenized US shares instead settle on-chain on a 24/5 schedule, beyond local trading hours.
Tax
Gains may be taxable under the relevant local rules, and tokenized securities could be treated differently from standard shares. This is not tax advice; consult a qualified Taiwanese tax professional.
