Do I need KYC to buy tokenized stocks?

Buying on DEX secondary markets normally needs no KYC — your wallet is the account. Minting/redeeming directly with the issuer requires eligibility checks; restricted-region users may not participate.

What is the minimum purchase?

Tokens are divisible, so a few dollars works in theory. Below a few tens of dollars, gas and spread eat a large share — size accordingly.

Why was my fill worse than the displayed price?

The display is the executable quote for a $1,000 standard size. Larger orders, shifting pool depth or loose slippage settings change your fill. Check the $10k impact tier before sizing up.

Either. The router picks the deeper, better-priced pool automatically.

Step by Step: Your First Share with USDT

Using xStocks on Solana as the example — about 10 minutes end to end. This site is a non-custodial venue: every trade is signed by your own wallet; nobody (including us) can touch your funds.

Step 1 — Install a wallet

On mobile, pick any of Phantom, OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet or Backpack:

Download only from official app stores (beware of fake wallets in search ads);
Create a wallet and hand-copy the seed phrase somewhere offline — the phrase is the money; anyone asking for it is a scammer;
Note your Solana address (looks like 7xKX…gAsU).

Step 2 — Fund it with stablecoins and a little SOL

Withdraw USDT or USDC on the Solana network from your exchange (network choice matters!);
Also withdraw ~0.05 SOL for gas — without SOL, transactions cannot be sent;
Test with a small amount first (say 10 USDT), confirm arrival, then send more.

Step 3 — Pick a stock: net edge first

Open the markets page:

The premium column tells you whether the token is rich (+) or cheap (−) vs the real stock;
The net edge column is your true advantage after platform fees and price impact — positive means buying on-chain beats the fair price right now;
Trade only assets whose status is healthy; grayed (degraded) rows mean conflicting data sources — wait.

Step 4 — Place the order

In the trade panel on the asset page (or any DEX front-end you trust):

Choose the token to pay with (USDT/USDC) and the amount;
Check the quote: your execution ≈ the "$1k executable price" shown; for larger sizes read the $10k impact tier;
Keep slippage protection at ≤1%;
Verify the token's contract address in the wallet popup (must match this site / the official page) before signing.

Step 5 — Confirm and keep safe

The token appears in your wallet after confirmation (import the contract address manually if hidden). Long-term holders should know the issuer's proof-of-reserve page and glance at it now and then.

Common pitfalls: ① withdrawing USDT on Ethereum instead of Solana; ② no SOL left for gas; ③ signing a malicious approval on a fake site — bookmark our official links page.
