The crypto market is in a deep bear phase, and five people from the crypto world have already asked me about getting started with U.S. stocks. A lot of people are asking: for crypto users who want to allocate some funds to U.S. stocks, is there really a smooth and practical way to do it? We all know the pain points of traditional brokers. Opening an account requires overseas identity or address proof, deposits and withdrawals go through bank wire transfers, which are not only slow but often get flagged by risk controls. Tokenized U.S. stocks sound convenient since you can buy them with USDT, but fundamentally, they’re synthetic assets—you’re not holding the real stock. After looking around, I found that Matrixport just launched a U.S. stock feature, and honestly, there are a few standout points. First, account opening. I tried submitting my information and found that you can complete KYC directly with a mainland China ID. No need for overseas identity or address proof. For most crypto users, this is the most practical and lowest-barrier option. Next, taxes. Since Matrixport is directly connected to a licensed U.S. broker, there’s no CRS reporting. In other words, your account information won’t be shared back to China. This avoids the issue many people complain about—making money on U.S. stocks but having to pay 20% in taxes. It protects the privacy of your U.S. stock profits. Lastly, fees—this one’s pretty straightforward. Zero commission, platform fee of $0.005 per share, and transaction fee of $0.003 per share. The fees are significantly lower than tokenized U.S. stocks. One more critical point. Matrixport’s U.S. stocks aren’t synthetic tokens—they’re real shares directly connected to a licensed broker. If you buy NVIDIA, you’re actually holding NVIDIA shares, with full shareholder rights like dividends and voting rights. Deposits and withdrawals support USDT/USDC, with 24/7 instant processing. Funds can seamlessly switch between the crypto market and U.S. stocks without waiting for T+N settlement. Think about that. This might be one of the rare compliant channels in Asia that lets you use USDT and USDC to directly buy real U.S. stocks. Pretty impressive. @Matrixport_CN
