Ukrainian investors have generally reached US equities through international brokers or European neobrokers, often facing hryvnia conversion costs, cross-border custody limits, and account minimums. Tokenized stocks give direct 1:1 exposure to the underlying US share, held in self-custody, from around $1.
Know before you fund
What Ukraine investors should know
Funding
Since Ukraine uses the hryvnia rather than the euro, a resident would typically convert UAH into USDC through a locally-licensed exchange and move the stablecoins into a self-custody wallet. Those USDC can then fund tokenized-stock trades.
Currency & FX
Ukraine's currency is the hryvnia (UAH), and because GM Markets settles in USD stablecoins, an investor carries UAH/USD exchange-rate exposure on top of how the stock performs.
Local market
The national stock exchange is the primary domestic venue, trading within local hours. Tokenized stocks trade 24/5 on-chain, so exposure remains available outside those hours.
Tax
Investment gains may be taxable in Ukraine, and the treatment of tokenized securities may differ from directly-held shares. Because these rules can evolve, confirm your circumstances with a qualified Ukrainian tax adviser.
Yes. Through tokenized stocks on GM Markets, investors in Ukraine can buy US stocks and ETFs backed 1:1 by real shares, funded with stablecoins, from $1, without a US brokerage account.
