Investing in tech giants like Tesla, one of the most sought-after stocks among Chilean investors in 2026, is now more accessible than ever. Traditionally, accessing the US market from Chile meant high commissions, complex intermediaries and restricted hours, which frustrated many would-be investors. At Skipo, we have developed an innovative solution that democratizes this access, letting you buy tokenized Tesla stock simply, commission-free and with the flexibility modern life demands. Tokenized stocks are digital representations of real stocks, issued on a blockchain, that replicate the value of the underlying asset held in custody by a regulated issuer. They work through smart contracts that ensure 1:1 correspondence with traditional shares, allowing transactions 24/7 or 24/5 depending on the xStock, with instant on-chain settlement. This model removes traditional barriers, offering an efficient and secure way to invest in stocks.
Why invest in Tesla from Chile with Skipo?
Investing in Tesla from Chile through our platform lets you overcome the traditional barriers of the stock market. At Skipo we eliminate buy and sell commissions, operate 24/7 or 24/5 depending on the xStock and allow fractional purchases, democratizing access to stocks of companies like Tesla, which as of March 16, 2026, was trading at approximately US$395. Preference for Tesla among Chilean investors reached 8.5% in early 2026, showing clear interest in high-growth companies. Investment platforms in Chile usually charge commissions of between 0.15% and 0.70% of the amount traded, plus a fixed cost and 19% VAT, which can add up to between CLP 3,000 and CLP 5,000 per trade or even more. This traditional model also imposes restrictive market hours, forcing you to trade only when Wall Street is open. Skipo, by contrast, offers an alternative registered with the CMF under the Fintech Law, letting you invest in tokenized Tesla stock with no trading commissions and at any time.
What are tokenized stocks and how do they work on Skipo?
Tokenized stocks are digital assets that represent the economic ownership of a traditional stock on a blockchain. On Skipo, each Tesla token (TSLAx) you buy is backed 1:1 by a real Tesla share. This means the value of your token moves exactly like the original stock. This system offers several specific advantages over traditional investing:
- 24/7 availability: You can buy and sell at any time, without depending on traditional stock exchange opening hours.
- Fast transactions: Trades settle in seconds thanks to blockchain technology, not in days as on other platforms.
- No hidden fees: We eliminate buy, sell, maintenance and per-transaction fees, making your investment more efficient.
- Fractional access: You can invest from CLP 1,000, buying just a fraction of a Tesla share.
The global tokenized stock market surpassed US$1 billion in total on-chain value in March 2026, with growth of 832% in market capitalization over the past six months. This shows the growing adoption of and confidence in this investment model.
