Can you buy the S&P 500 as a token in Australia?

xStocks, the stock tokens sold on Pump.fun and Kraken, aren't offered to people living in Australia, so we don't list them here.

• Australian brokers sell US-listed S&P 500 funds, and there are ASX-listed funds that track the S&P 500 too.
• Check that the broker holds an Australian financial services licence on ASIC's register.

The S&P 500 is an index of about 500 of the biggest US listed companies, from Apple and Nvidia to banks and supermarkets. SPY, run by State Street, is the oldest US fund that tracks it, so one share gives you a small slice of all of them.

• Crypto exchanges operating in Australia must register with AUSTRAC.
• Australian brokers sell real US shares, which is usually the simpler route.
• Gains may be taxable. A local tax adviser can tell you how.
