What will we cover in this guide?
In this guide we explain what Intel is and why it staged one of the most talked-about recoveries of 2026, how tokenized INTCx 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 risks 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 Intel stock (INTCx)?
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 INTCx, the tokenized version of Intel stock, directly in pesos, with no fees and with instant settlement.
Each INTCx token is backed 1:1 by a real Intel share held in custody in traditional markets. This means you have the same exposure to Intel'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 INTCx 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, registered with the CMF.
Intel by the numbers
As of June 2026, Intel has a market capitalization of close to US$700 billion, according to Morningstar. It is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world and its stock trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker INTC. It currently pays no dividends: it cut them as part of its restructuring.
The defining fact of its moment is a strong recovery: over the past twelve months, Intel stock went from a low of around US$19 to highs of around US$140, a rise of more than 250% so far in 2026, according to market data. That jump reflected optimism about its reinvention plan rather than its current results: the company is still posting losses and analysts remain cautious, with an average 12-month price target below the current price, according to stockanalysis. It is, above all, a bet on a turnaround that has yet to be proven.
Our view on investing in Intel
At Skipo we believe Intel is one of the most talked-about stories in the tech world: a company that defined the chip industry for decades, lost ground to its competitors and is now trying to reinvent itself. Its stock soared in 2026 on optimism about that reinvention (new partnerships, support from the US government and its bet on becoming a chip foundry), but it is important to be clear: it is a bet on a turnaround that is not yet reflected in its results, and that makes it a high-risk asset.
In short: INTCx is the tokenized version of Intel stock, backed 1:1 by a real share. Skipo lets you buy INTCx in Chile directly in pesos, with no fees and with instant settlement.
Why do investors follow Intel?
Intel is one of the most talked-about stocks in the sector because it combines a historic brand with a reinvention effort under way. These are the reasons that matter most to people looking at the stock from Chile, along with the risks you need to keep firmly in mind.
A chip pioneer in the middle of a reinvention
Intel defined the microprocessor industry for decades and still has a strong position in chips (CPUs) for computers and servers. After years of losing ground to competitors such as AMD, it is now in the middle of a restructuring process to get back to the front line. For some investors, that is precisely the appeal: a well-known brand trying to turn its story around.
The bets behind its restructuring
Intel's plan rests on its chip foundry business (Intel Foundry), new manufacturing technologies and strategic partnerships and backing, including from the US government to produce more chips domestically. These are ambitious bets that, if they pay off, could redefine the company, but they are still in development.
A high-risk profile, with no dividends and a recovery still to be proven
Intel does not currently pay dividends and its stock is very volatile: it rose sharply in 2026 on expectations rather than on profits already achieved. It is a clearly speculative profile, suited to those who understand that the recovery is not yet assured and that the price could fall back if those expectations are not met.
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 INTCx 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: Intel is a chip pioneer in the middle of a reinvention, with a speculative profile, no dividends and a recovery still to be proven. With Skipo you can add INTCx to your portfolio in Chile in pesos and trade it 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday.
Which platforms let you invest in Intel in Chile?
In Chile you can invest in Intel 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 INTCx 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 INTCx 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, even outside Wall Street hours. On weekends the market is closed: you cannot buy or sell INTCx 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 (INTCx) | 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 | CMF, ISO 27001 | Depends on the platform |
In short: in Chile there are traditional brokers and tokenized stock platforms for investing in Intel, but they differ in cost, hours and currency. Skipo lets you buy INTCx with no fees, in pesos and 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, on a platform registered with the CMF.

Why did Intel stock rise so much in 2026?
It rose sharply (more than 250% so far this year, according to market data), driven by optimism about its restructuring: new partnerships, backing from the US government and its bet on becoming a chip foundry. However, the company is still posting losses and that recovery is not assured, which makes it a high-risk asset. INTCx reflects that same volatility.
Does tokenized Intel stock pay dividends?
No. Intel cut its dividend as part of its restructuring and currently does not pay one. Since INTCx reflects the economic exposure of the stock, it does not generate dividends either, and its return depends entirely on changes in its price.
