Pay with BTC · IVV
Want to put your Bitcoin (BTC) to work in iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)? On GM Markets you can buy tokenized IVV, backed 1:1 by real shares, funding the purchase with BTC. This guide covers how the BTC-to-stock flow works, the live price, the fees, the risks, and the steps to place your first order.
Funding
Bitcoin (BTC) settles on Bitcoin. You can use it to fund tokenized-stock purchases; because its price moves, many investors convert to a stablecoin like USDC at the point of trade.
About the fund
IVV is an exchange-traded fund that holds the stocks in the S&P 500 index, giving single-trade exposure to about 500 of the largest US companies weighted by market value. It is a passive index fund that seeks to track the index's performance before fees rather than to outperform it.
The bull case
Investors favor IVV for low-cost, diversified exposure to US large-cap equities, strong liquidity, and its role as a core long-term portfolio holding.
Key risks
IVV bears the full market risk of US large caps and can drop sharply in downturns, it is concentrated in its biggest holdings and weighted toward the technology sector, and it offers no cushion against broad market declines.
