    Tesla, Micron, the QQQ ETF and more, priced in dollars. Heads up: the “Pre-IPO” ones aren't shares in those companies.

    Tap a stock to see its chart, then hit the green button to trade. Check for the badge next to the name so you get the real token, not a lookalike.

Nvidia designs graphics processors and accelerated computing platforms used in gaming, data centres and AI.

Questions people ask

Can I buy Nvidia stock from South Africa?

Pump.fun doesn't block South Africa, so you can buy NVDAx, a token that stands for one Nvidia share. We haven't checked South Africa's own tax and legal rules yet, so look at the notes on this page and the regulator's website first.

Is NVDAx the same as owning Nvidia shares?

Not quite. NVDAx is issued by xStocks, which holds real NVDA shares to back each token 1:1. You get the price moves and reinvested dividends, but no voting rights and you're not on Nvidia's shareholder register.

How much does it cost to buy NVDAx?

Pump.fun charges 0.40% platform fee per trade with a referral code, plus Solana network fees and any third-party swap fees. If you top up with Apple Pay or a card, the payment provider may add its own fee.

Do I need a US broker to buy Nvidia?

Not for the token. You buy NVDAx with crypto in the Pump.fun app. If you want real NVDA shares in your name, you'd need a broker that accepts people living in South Africa.
