Why stablecoins are used
Stablecoins are crypto-assets designed to hold a steady value against a currency such as the US dollar. Some tokenized stock platforms accept them because they settle on the same blockchains as the stock tokens.
The general process
- Confirm the platform accepts residents of your country and supports stablecoin deposits.
- Acquire the stablecoin through a lawful, regulated channel in your country.
- Check the exact network the platform supports — sending on the wrong network can lose funds permanently.
- Send a small test transfer first.
- Buy the tokenized stock and note all fees for tax records.
Extra risks to consider
- Stablecoin issuer risk: a stablecoin can lose its peg.
- Network fees and congestion.
- Irreversible transfers to the wrong address or network.
- Local rules on buying, holding or converting crypto-assets.
