What will we cover in this guide?
In this guide we explain what TSMC is and why it's the company that makes the most advanced chips in the world, how TSMx 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 cover its risks and 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 TSMC stock (TSMx)?
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 TSMx (the tokenized version of TSMC stock) directly in pesos, with zero fees and instant settlement.
Each TSMx token is backed 1:1 by a real TSMC share, held in custody in traditional markets. This means you have the same exposure to TSMC'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 TSMx 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, and it is registered with the CMF.
TSMC in numbers
As of June 2026, TSMC has a market capitalization of close to US$2.5 trillion, making it the sixth most valuable company in the world, according to CompaniesMarketCap. It's a Taiwanese company, and its stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as an ADR (a certificate representing shares of a foreign company) under the ticker TSM. It pays a modest dividend, with a yield of around 0.8%.
Its scale is enormous: in the first quarter of 2026, TSMC reported revenue of US$35.9 billion, up 40.6% year over year, with net margins close to 50%, according to its official report. It makes about 70% of the contract-manufactured chips in the world. That dominant position explains why its stock more than doubled over the past twelve months on the back of the artificial intelligence boom, although it also means it currently trades near its highs and with high expectations.
Our view on investing in TSMC
At Skipo we believe TSMC is one of the most interesting (and least obvious) bets in the tech world: almost all of the planet's advanced chips, from the ones in the phone in your hand to the ones that train artificial intelligence, are made in its plants, even though its name almost never shows up. For Chilean investors, it's a way to get exposure to the entire chip industry at once. The flip side is its geopolitical exposure: much of its production is in Taiwan, and tensions in the region are a real risk worth considering.
In short: TSMx is the tokenized version of TSMC stock, backed 1:1 by a real share. Skipo lets you buy TSMx in Chile directly in pesos, with zero fees and instant settlement.
Why do investors choose TSMC?
TSMC is one of the most watched stocks in the tech sector because it holds a unique place: it's the factory that almost every chip company in the world depends on. These are the reasons that matter most to people investing from Chile, along with the risks to consider.
The world's chip factory
TSMC is the largest contract semiconductor manufacturer (foundry) on the planet, with about 70% of the market. It doesn't design its own consumer products: it manufactures the chips designed by companies such as Apple, Nvidia and AMD. Investing in TSMC means getting exposure to the entire chip industry at once, without depending on the success of a single brand.
At the center of artificial intelligence
The most advanced chips powering artificial intelligence (and their specialized packaging) are made at TSMC, which leads cutting-edge technologies (the 3- and 2-nanometer processes). As demand for AI computing grows, so does demand for its production capacity. It's a supplier that's hard to replace in the short term.
High profitability and a modest dividend
TSMC combines strong growth with very high margins and pays a modest dividend. That profile (a dominant, highly profitable company that also distributes something to its shareholders) is part of what makes it attractive for long-term portfolios, although its stock is still volatile.
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. Being able to buy and sell TSMx 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's a scheduling freedom that traditional brokers don't offer.
In short: TSMC is the most important chip factory in the world and a central player in AI, with high profitability but also geopolitical risk. With Skipo you can add TSMx to your portfolio in Chile in pesos and trade it 24 hours a day Monday to Friday.
Which platforms let you invest in TSMC in Chile?
In Chile you can invest in TSMC 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 TSMx 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 TSMx 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, even outside Wall Street hours. On weekends the market is closed: you can't buy or sell TSMx 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 (TSMx) | 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) |
| 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 TSMC, but they differ in cost, hours and currency. Skipo lets you buy TSMx with zero fees, in pesos and 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, as a platform registered with the CMF.
