SK Hynix, the largest maker of high-performance memory for artificial intelligence chips, debuted on the NASDAQ in July 2026 and can now be bought in its tokenized version from Chile. Skipo lets you buy tokenized SK Hynix stock (SKHYx) directly in pesos, from CLP 1,000 and with instant settlement, trading 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, even outside Wall Street hours.
What will we cover in this guide?
In this guide we explain what SK Hynix is and why its NASDAQ listing was one of the biggest of the year, how SKHYx 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, at the end, the step-by-step process for investing from your phone. We also answer the most common questions, such as whether SKHYx pays dividends or what happens if you want to buy outside US stock market hours.
What is tokenized SK Hynix stock (SKHYx)?
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 SKHYx (the tokenized version of SK Hynix stock) directly in pesos, with zero fees and instant settlement.
Each SKHYx token is backed 1:1 by a real SK Hynix share, held in custody in traditional markets. This means you have the same exposure to SK Hynix'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 lies in access. Skipo offers SKHYx from your phone, in pesos, without opening accounts abroad and without converting your money to dollars. It's one of the few platforms in the Chilean market that combines tokenized stocks and cryptocurrencies in a single app.
SK Hynix in numbers
SK Hynix has traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker SKHY since its debut on July 10, 2026, when it raised about US$26.5 billion in the largest US IPO ever by a foreign company, according to CNBC. Its shares (ADRs) were priced at US$149 and rose 13% on their first day of trading.
As of July 2026, SK Hynix's market capitalization is around US$870 billion, close to US$1 trillion, according to Investing.com. The company is South Korean and also trades on the Korea Exchange (KOSPI), but SKHYx tracks the price of its US-listed stock.
One figure explains its scale concretely: in the first quarter of 2026, SK Hynix held more than 60% of the global high-bandwidth memory (HBM) market, far ahead of Samsung and Micron, according to Counterpoint Research. HBM is the type of memory that artificial intelligence chips need, and SK Hynix is its main supplier for companies such as NVIDIA.
Our view on investing in SK Hynix
At Skipo we've noticed that much of Chilean investors' interest in technology is concentrated on the most visible names (NVIDIA, Apple, Tesla), while the companies behind the artificial intelligence supply chain go more unnoticed. SK Hynix is a clear example: it makes the memory without which AI chips don't work. Tokenization closes that gap and lets you go from watching the industry from the outside to holding a position in it, from CLP 1,000, in pesos and with zero fees.
In short: SKHYx is the tokenized version of SK Hynix stock, backed 1:1 by a real share. Skipo lets you buy SKHYx in Chile directly in pesos, with zero fees and instant settlement.
Why do investors choose SK Hynix?
SK Hynix is one of the most watched stocks of the artificial intelligence wave because it holds a critical position that's hard to replace: it makes the high-performance memory that makes training and running AI models possible. These are the reasons that matter most to people investing from Chile.
Leadership in HBM memory for artificial intelligence
SK Hynix leads the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) market, a component made by stacking many layers of traditional memory that is indispensable for AI chips. With more than 60% of that market in early 2026, according to Counterpoint Research, the company is at the center of one of the biggest technological transformations of the decade.
A key supplier to NVIDIA and the AI ecosystem
Demand for its products comes directly from the boom in AI chips: SK Hynix is the main HBM supplier to NVIDIA, the most valuable company in the world, and it also supplies other tech giants. Investing in SK Hynix is, in a way, investing in the infrastructure that supports the entire artificial intelligence industry, not just in an end product.
One of the biggest IPOs of the year
SK Hynix's NASDAQ debut, raising US$26.5 billion, was the largest US IPO by a foreign company, according to CNBC. That milestone gave it access to the US capital market and a global visibility that, until recently, was concentrated in its Korean listing.
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. Skipo lets you buy and sell SKHYx 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, so 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's a scheduling freedom that traditional brokers don't offer.
In short: SK Hynix combines leadership in HBM memory with its role as a key supplier to the AI industry, in a stock profile tied to tech growth. With Skipo you can add SKHYx to your portfolio in Chile in pesos and trade it 24 hours a day Monday to Friday.
Which platforms let you invest in SK Hynix in Chile?
In Chile you can invest in SK Hynix in two ways: traditional brokers that trade US stocks (such as Renta4, Racional or Zesty) and tokenized stock platforms like Skipo. The difference lies in cost, hours and currency. Traditional brokers trade the stock in dollars, within Wall Street hours and with per-transaction fees; Skipo lets you buy SKHYx in pesos, with zero fees and 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 SKHYx 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, even outside Wall Street hours. On weekends the market is closed: you can't buy or sell SKHYx on Saturday or Sunday.
Zero fees
Skipo charges no fee for buying or selling tokenized stocks, nor for account maintenance. Traditional brokers, by contrast, usually charge a per-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 currency spread (the difference between the price at which a platform buys and sells dollars) that brokers apply when operating in foreign currency.
| Criterion | Skipo (SKHYx) | 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 |
| Currency 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 purchase | Yes, from CLP 1,000 | Depends on the platform; sometimes requires a whole share |
| Investment currency | Pesos | Mainly dollars (requires conversion) |
| Dividends | Automatically reinvested in the same stock | Paid in cash, depending on the platform |
In short: in Chile there are traditional brokers and tokenized stock platforms for investing in SK Hynix, but they differ in cost, hours and currency. Skipo lets you buy SKHYx with zero fees, in pesos and 24 hours a day Monday to Friday.
