What will we cover in this guide?
In this guide we explain what AST SpaceMobile is and why it is one of the most ambitious and riskiest bets in the space sector, how ASTSx tokenized stock works, what it means to be able to trade it 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, the advantages of buying it with Skipo compared with traditional brokers in Chile and, at the end, the step-by-step process to invest from your phone. We also talk very frankly about its risks (it is an early-stage, highly volatile company) and answer the most common questions, such as what happens if you want to buy outside US stock market hours or during the weekend.
What is AST SpaceMobile tokenized stock (ASTSx)?
Tokenized stocks (xStocks) are digital assets that replicate the price of a traditional stock and operate on blockchain (a digital network that records transactions securely and transparently). In Chile, Skipo lets you buy ASTSx (the tokenized version of AST SpaceMobile stock) directly in pesos, commission-free and with instant settlement.
Each ASTSx token is backed 1:1 by a real AST SpaceMobile share, held in custody in traditional markets. This means you have the same exposure to AST SpaceMobile's price as if you held the traditional stock: if the stock goes up, your token goes up, and if it goes down, so does your token.
The difference from a traditional stock is access. Skipo offers ASTSx from your phone, in pesos, without opening accounts abroad and without converting your money into dollars. It is one of the few platforms in the Chilean market that combines tokenized stocks and cryptocurrencies in a single app, registered with the CMF.
AST SpaceMobile in numbers
As of July 2026, AST SpaceMobile has a market capitalization of around US$30 billion, according to market data, and its stock trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker ASTS. It doesn't pay dividends: it is a company in the middle of building its network and reinvests all its resources.
Here is the key fact to understand before investing: AST SpaceMobile currently generates almost no revenue (in the first quarter of 2026 it brought in around US$14.7 million) and it loses money, burning more than US$1 billion in cash per year as it deploys its satellites, according to Motley Fool. Its stock is extremely volatile: it went from less than US$2 in 2024 to a high of around US$134 in May 2026 and has had very sharp drops since then. In short, it is a very high-risk bet on the future.
Our view on investing in AST SpaceMobile
At Skipo we believe AST SpaceMobile is one of the most ambitious (and riskiest) bets in the space sector: its idea of connecting any phone directly to a satellite, without antennas or special equipment, is powerful. But we need to be very clear: it is a very early-stage company that currently generates almost no revenue, loses money and burns cash while it builds its network. Its stock is extremely volatile, and much of the optimism is already built into the price. It is a very high-risk case, suitable only for those who understand and can tolerate that they could lose a large part of what they invest.
In short: ASTSx is the tokenized version of AST SpaceMobile stock, backed 1:1 by a real share. Skipo lets you buy ASTSx in Chile directly in pesos, commission-free and with instant settlement.
Why do investors follow AST SpaceMobile?
AST SpaceMobile is one of the most talked-about stocks in the space sector because it combines a disruptive vision with a very high-risk profile. These are the reasons that attract investors and, above all, the risks you need to keep firmly in mind.
A bet on connecting phones directly to satellites
AST SpaceMobile is building a constellation of satellites (the BlueBirds) to provide internet and cellular coverage directly to ordinary phones, without antennas or special equipment, even where terrestrial signal doesn't reach. It works with mobile carriers in different countries. If it manages to deploy that network at scale, the opportunity would be enormous; that "if" is the heart of the bet.
A very early-stage company
This is the point not to lose sight of: AST SpaceMobile has practically no revenue yet, loses money and burns a lot of cash as it launches its satellites. It has a significant cash position to fund itself, but its commercial business is just getting started and has suffered delays. It is a pre-revenue company, not an established one.
High volatility and strong competition
AST SpaceMobile's stock moves with very large swings: it can rise or fall by tens of percentage points in a few days. On top of that there is intense competition, including SpaceX's direct-to-cell network (Starlink). With much of its future growth already reflected in the price, the margin for error is small and the risk of loss is real.
Our take on trading 24/5
At Skipo we've noticed that one of the biggest pain points for Chilean investors with US stocks is the time difference: when Wall Street opens, it's usually mid-afternoon in Chile, and many decisions get stuck outside working hours. Being able to buy and sell ASTSx 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, changes that: you can trade at night or in the early morning, when you have time, without waiting for the New York Stock Exchange to open. With a stock this volatile, that flexibility to react matters even more.
In short: AST SpaceMobile is an ambitious bet on satellite-to-phone connectivity, but it is an early-stage company with hardly any revenue and very volatile. With Skipo you can add ASTSx to your portfolio in Chile in pesos and trade it 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, always carefully weighing the risk.
Which platforms let you invest in AST SpaceMobile in Chile?
In Chile you can invest in AST SpaceMobile in two ways: traditional brokers that trade US stocks (such as Renta4, Racional or Zesty) and tokenized stock platforms such as Skipo. The difference lies in cost, trading hours and currency. Traditional brokers trade the stock in dollars, within Wall Street hours and with transaction commissions; Skipo lets you buy ASTSx in pesos, commission-free and with a much wider trading window.
Trading 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday
A traditional broker only lets you trade during New York Stock Exchange hours (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, on business days), which in Chile translates into a narrow mid-afternoon window. Skipo lets you buy and sell ASTSx 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, even outside Wall Street hours. On weekends the market is closed: you can't buy or sell ASTSx on Saturday or Sunday.
Commission-free
Skipo charges no commission to buy or sell tokenized stocks and no account maintenance fee. Traditional brokers, on the other hand, usually charge a transaction commission on every trade and, in some cases, maintenance fees.
Direct purchase in pesos
Skipo processes the purchase directly in pesos, without converting your money into dollars. This eliminates the currency spread (the difference between the price at which a platform buys and sells dollars) that brokers apply when trading in foreign currency.
| Criterion | Skipo (ASTSx) | Traditional brokers (Renta4, Racional, Zesty) |
|---|---|---|
| Buy/sell commission | CLP 0 | Transaction commission (approx. 0.15% to 0.6% + VAT, depending on the platform) |
| Custody / maintenance | CLP 0 | Possible maintenance fees |
| Currency spread | No spread, purchases in pesos | Yes, when converting pesos into dollars (approx. 0.99% or more) |
| Trading hours | 24 hours, Monday to Friday (closed on weekends) | Wall Street hours (9:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. ET), business days only |
| Settlement | Instant, within trading hours | T+1 / T+2 (1 to 2 business days) |
| Fractional purchase | Yes, from CLP 1,000 | Depends on the platform; sometimes requires a full share |
| Investment currency | Pesos | Mainly dollars (requires conversion) |
| Registration and certification | CMF registration, ISO 27001 | Depends on the platform |
In short: in Chile there are traditional brokers and tokenized stock platforms for investing in AST SpaceMobile, but they differ in cost, trading hours and currency. Skipo lets you buy ASTSx commission-free, in pesos and 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, and is registered with the CMF.

Because it is a very early-stage company: it generates almost no revenue, loses money and burns a lot of cash while it builds its satellite network, and it also faces strong competition. Its stock is extremely volatile (it can rise or fall sharply in a few days) and much of its future growth is already priced in. ASTSx replicates that same volatility and that same risk.
Does AST SpaceMobile tokenized stock pay dividends?
No. AST SpaceMobile doesn't pay dividends: it reinvests all its resources in building its satellite network. Since ASTSx replicates the economic exposure of the stock, it doesn't generate dividends either, and its return depends entirely on changes in its price.
