Turkish investors have typically accessed US equities via local brokers offering international routing or through global brokerages, absorbing currency conversion, custody arrangements, and account paperwork. Tokenized US stocks offer a direct alternative: 1:1 exposure, self-custodied, from roughly $1.

What Turkey investors should know
Funding
A person in Turkey can convert Turkish lira into USDC through a locally-licensed exchange and send the stablecoins to a self-custody wallet. The lira floats against the US dollar, so the USDC value obtained depends on the exchange rate at conversion.
Currency & FX
The local currency is the Turkish lira (TRY), and GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins. Since the lira floats against the dollar and has moved substantially in recent years, the cash leg carries real TRY/USD exposure.
Local market
Borsa Istanbul is Turkey's primary stock exchange. Tokenized US stocks differ in that they trade 24/5 on-chain, outside local market hours.
Tax
This is general information, not tax advice: gains may be taxable depending on how local rules apply, and tokenized securities may be treated differently from conventional shares. Consult a local tax adviser about your own situation.
