Skipo lets you buy tokenized Meta stock (METAx) in Chile commission-free, directly in pesos and from CLP 1,000, as a platform registered with the CMF.

What will we cover in this guide?
In this guide we explain what Meta is and why it is one of the largest companies in the world, how METAx tokenized stocks work, what it means to be able to trade them 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, what the advantages of buying them with Skipo are compared with traditional brokers in Chile and, finally, the step-by-step process to invest from your phone. We also answer the most common questions, such as what happens if you want to buy outside US stock market hours or on the weekend.
What is tokenized Meta stock (METAx)?
Tokenized stocks (xStocks) are digital assets that replicate the price of a traditional stock and run on a blockchain (a digital network that records transactions securely and transparently). In Chile, Skipo lets you buy METAx (the tokenized version of Meta stock) directly in pesos, commission-free and with instant settlement.
Each METAx token is backed 1:1 by a real Meta share, held in custody in traditional markets. This means you have the same exposure to Meta's price as if you held the traditional stock: if the stock goes up, your token goes up, and you mirror the same economic performance as the share.
The difference from a traditional stock is access. Skipo offers METAx 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.
Meta by the numbers
As of June 2026, Meta has a market capitalization of about US$1.4 trillion, which keeps it among the most valuable companies in the world, according to CompaniesMarketCap. Its stock trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker META and pays a modest dividend, with a yield of around 0.37%.
The relevant fact for an investor is that Meta is coming off a correction: its market capitalization fell about 20% over the last twelve months, according to market data compiled by stockanalysis. Behind that drop is the debate over Meta's heavy spending on artificial intelligence and on its virtual reality division (Reality Labs), which weighs on its results. At the same time, its core business (advertising on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp) remains highly profitable. That tension between a very profitable business and expensive bets on the future is what explains its recent volatility.
Our view on investing in Meta
At Skipo we believe Meta is an interesting case for Chilean investors: WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook are part of daily life in Chile, but very few people own a piece of the company behind those apps. Tokenization closes that gap: with METAx you can go from user to investor from CLP 1,000, in pesos and commission-free.
In short: METAx is the tokenized version of Meta stock, backed 1:1 by a real share. Skipo lets you buy METAx in Chile directly in pesos, commission-free and with instant settlement.
Why do investors choose Meta?
Meta is one of the most closely followed tech stocks in the world because of the size of its user base, the profitability of its advertising business and its bets on artificial intelligence. These are the reasons that weigh most for people investing from Chile.
A very profitable advertising business
The heart of Meta is advertising across its Family of Apps: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp, used by billions of people. That ecosystem generates high margins and enormous cash flow, which is what funds the rest of its bets. For an investor, it is exposure to one of the biggest advertising machines in the world.
A bet on artificial intelligence
Meta invests heavily in artificial intelligence: assistants like Meta AI, its open models and hardware such as AI glasses. That investment is both its biggest opportunity and its biggest point of debate, because spending on AI infrastructure has pressured short-term results. It is a long-term bet on leading the next technology wave.
A modest dividend on top of a growth profile
Unlike companies that pay nothing, Meta started paying a modest dividend, although its profile is still that of a growth stock: most of its historical return has come from price appreciation. That mix (some dividend plus growth potential) is part of its appeal for long-term portfolios.
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 METAx 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. It is a scheduling freedom that traditional brokers do not offer.
In short: Meta combines a very profitable advertising business with big bets on AI and a modest dividend. With Skipo you can add METAx to your portfolio in Chile in pesos and trade it 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday.
Which platforms let you invest in Meta in Chile?
In Chile you can invest in Meta in two ways: traditional brokers that trade US stocks (such as Renta4, Racional or Zesty) and tokenized stock platforms like Skipo. The difference is in cost, hours and currency. Traditional brokers trade the stock in dollars, within Wall Street hours and with transaction fees; Skipo lets you buy METAx 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, business days), which in Chile translates into a limited window in the middle of the afternoon. Skipo lets you buy and sell METAx 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, even outside Wall Street hours. On weekends the market is closed: you cannot buy or sell METAx on Saturday or Sunday.
No commissions
Skipo charges no fee for buying or selling tokenized stocks or for account maintenance. Traditional brokers, by contrast, usually charge a fee per transaction 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 currency exchange spread (the difference between the price at which a platform buys and sells dollars) that brokers apply when trading in foreign currency.
| Criterion | Skipo (METAx) | Traditional brokers (Renta4, Racional, Zesty) |
|---|---|---|
| Buy/sell fee | CLP 0 | Per-transaction fee (approx. 0.15% to 0.6% + VAT, depending on the platform) |
| Custody / maintenance | CLP 0 | Possible maintenance costs |
| Exchange 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 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 purchases | 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 registration, ISO 27001 | Depends on the platform |
In short: in Chile there are traditional brokers and tokenized stock platforms for investing in Meta, but they differ in cost, hours and currency. Skipo lets you buy METAx commission-free, in pesos and 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, and is registered with the CMF.
