What will we cover in this guide?
In this guide we explain what Coinbase is and why it is one of the most important companies in the crypto world, how tokenized COINx 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 for investing from your phone. We also talk frankly about its volatility and answer the most common questions, such as what happens if you want to buy outside US stock market hours or over the weekend.
What is tokenized Coinbase stock (COINx)?
Tokenized stocks (xStocks) are digital assets that track the price of a traditional stock and run on blockchain (a digital network that records transactions securely and transparently). In Chile, Skipo lets you buy COINx, the tokenized version of Coinbase stock, directly in pesos, with no fees and with instant settlement.
Each COINx token is backed 1:1 by a real Coinbase share held in custody in traditional markets. This means you have the same exposure to Coinbase'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 lies in access. Skipo offers COINx from your phone, in pesos, without opening accounts abroad and without converting your money to dollars. It is one of the few platforms in the Chilean market that combines tokenized stocks and cryptocurrencies in a single app. Skipo is registered in the CMF's Registry of Financial Service Providers, and its authorization to operate is in process under the Fintech Law (Law No. 21.521).
Coinbase by the numbers
As of June 2026, Coinbase has a market capitalization of close to US$40 billion, according to CompaniesMarketCap. It is not one of the tech mega-caps: it is the largest exchange (a cryptocurrency trading platform) listed on the US stock market, and its stock trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker COIN.
The most important fact for an investor is its volatility. Over the past twelve months, Coinbase stock moved between a high of US$445 and a low of around US$139, according to CNBC: a drop of more than 60% from its peak. This happens because Coinbase's revenue depends largely on cryptocurrency trading activity, which rises and falls with the market cycle. It is a high-risk, high-volatility stock, and that is how it should be viewed.
Our view on investing in Coinbase
At Skipo we believe Coinbase is a different way for Chilean investors to get exposure to the crypto world: instead of betting on a single cryptocurrency such as bitcoin (BTC) or ethereum (ETH), you invest in the sector's infrastructure, that is, in the company that charges for every trade. The flip side is clear: it is an especially volatile stock, closely tied to crypto market sentiment, and that requires being clear about how much risk you are willing to take on.
In short: COINx is the tokenized version of Coinbase stock, backed 1:1 by a real share. Skipo lets you buy COINx in Chile directly in pesos, with no fees and with instant settlement.
Why do investors choose Coinbase?
Coinbase is one of the most closely followed stocks among people who want exposure to the crypto business rather than to a particular cryptocurrency. These are the reasons that matter most to people investing from Chile, along with the risks to keep in mind.
Exposure to crypto infrastructure
Coinbase is the largest publicly listed cryptocurrency exchange in the US. Investing in its stock is a way to get exposure to the growth of the crypto sector as a whole (trading volume, custody, stablecoins) instead of a single asset. It is the logic of investing in "the ones selling shovels" during a gold rush.
A business diversified beyond trading
Although trading is its main source of revenue, Coinbase has diversified into asset custody, institutional services, subscriptions and its role in the USDC ecosystem (a stablecoin: a cryptocurrency designed to maintain 1:1 parity with the dollar). That diversification aims to reduce its dependence on trading cycles, although that dependence is still high.
A high-risk, high-volatility profile
Unlike the big tech companies, Coinbase pays no dividends and its stock is much more volatile: it can rise or fall sharply depending on crypto market sentiment. It is a profile suited to investors who understand and tolerate that risk, not to those seeking stability.
Our take on trading 24/5
At Skipo we see that one of the biggest pain points for Chilean investors with US stocks is the time difference: when Wall Street opens, it is usually mid-afternoon in Chile, and many decisions get stuck outside working hours. Being able to buy and sell COINx 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 such a volatile stock, that flexibility to react matters even more.
In short: Coinbase gives exposure to the crypto business as a whole, with a high-risk, high-volatility profile. With Skipo you can add COINx to your portfolio in Chile in pesos and trade it 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday.
Which platforms let you invest in Coinbase in Chile?
In Chile you can invest in Coinbase 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, hours and currency. Traditional brokers trade the stock in dollars, within Wall Street hours and with transaction fees; Skipo lets you buy COINx in pesos, with no fees 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 to 16:00 ET, business days), which in Chile means a narrow mid-afternoon window. Skipo lets you buy and sell COINx 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, even outside Wall Street hours. On weekends the market is closed: you cannot buy or sell COINx on Saturday or Sunday.
No fees
Skipo charges no fees for buying or selling tokenized stocks or for account maintenance. Traditional brokers, on the other hand, usually charge a transaction fee on every trade and, in some cases, maintenance costs.
Buy directly in pesos
Skipo processes the purchase directly in pesos, without converting your money to dollars. This eliminates the exchange-rate spread (the difference between the price at which a platform buys and sells dollars) that brokers apply when trading in foreign currency.
| Criterion | Skipo (COINx) | Traditional brokers (Renta4, Racional, Zesty) |
|---|---|---|
| Buying/selling fee | $0 | Transaction fee (approx. 0.15% to 0.6% + VAT, depending on the platform) |
| Custody / maintenance | $0 | Possible maintenance costs |
| Exchange-rate spread | No spread, you buy in pesos | Yes, when converting pesos to dollars (approx. 0.99% or more) |
| Trading hours | 24 hours, Monday to Friday (closed on weekends) | Wall Street hours (9:30–16:00 ET), business days only |
| Settlement | Instant, within trading hours | T+1 / T+2 (1 to 2 business days) |
| Fractional buying | Yes, from CLP 1,000 | Depends on the platform; sometimes requires a whole share |
| Investment currency | Pesos | Mainly dollars (requires conversion) |
| Registration and certification | CMF registry, ISO 27001 | Depends on the platform |
In short: in Chile there are traditional brokers and tokenized stock platforms for investing in Coinbase, but they differ in cost, hours and currency. Skipo lets you buy COINx with no fees, in pesos and 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, on a platform registered with the CMF.

No. With Skipo you invest directly in pesos, without converting your money to dollars and without paying the associated exchange-rate spreads. You can start from CLP 1,000 and buy fractions of COINx.
Why is Coinbase stock so volatile?
Because Coinbase's revenue depends largely on cryptocurrency trading activity, which rises and falls with the market cycle. That is why its price can move much more than that of a traditional company: over the past year it ranged between US$139 and US$445, according to CNBC. COINx reflects that same volatility, so it is a high-risk asset.
Does tokenized Coinbase stock pay dividends?
No. Coinbase does not pay dividends: it reinvests its resources in the business. Since COINx reflects the economic exposure of the stock, it does not generate dividends either, and its return depends entirely on changes in its price.
