Skipo lets you buy tokenized Uber stock (UBERx) in Chile with no fees, directly in pesos and starting at CLP 1,000, on a platform registered in the CMF's Registry of Financial Service Providers. The purchase is done 100% from the app, with instant settlement, and tokenized Uber stock can be bought and sold 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 Uber is and why it went from being a ride app to a major mobility and delivery platform, how UBERx tokenized stocks work, what it means to be able to trade them 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, the advantages of buying them with Skipo compared with traditional brokers in Chile and, at the end, 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 Uber stock (UBERx)?
Tokenized stocks (xStocks) are digital assets that replicate the price of a traditional stock and operate on the blockchain (a digital network that records transactions securely and transparently). In Chile, Skipo lets you buy UBERx (the tokenized version of Uber stock) directly in pesos, with no fees and instant settlement.
Each UBERx token is backed 1:1 by a real Uber share, held in custody in traditional markets. This means you have the same exposure to Uber'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 is access. Skipo offers UBERx 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.
Uber in numbers
As of June 2026, Uber has a market capitalization of around US$148 billion, according to CNBC. It is the largest mobility and delivery platform in the world by global presence, and its stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker UBER. It does not pay dividends: it returns capital to its shareholders through share buybacks.
Unlike in its early years, Uber is now a profitable company: over the last twelve months it had revenue of about US$54 billion, according to CNBC, and it trades at a reasonable valuation compared with other tech companies. Its stock, however, fell from highs near US$100 in 2025 to the US$72 area, partly because of the debate over how autonomous vehicles will affect it. It is a solid company, but with a fundamental question still open.
Our view on investing in Uber
At Skipo we believe Uber is one of the stocks closest to the daily life of Chilean investors: ordering a car or food through the app is part of many people's routine, although few think about owning a piece of the company. Today Uber is already profitable and trades at a reasonable valuation, but it faces a big fundamental question: how autonomous vehicles will affect it, since they can be both an opportunity (if it deploys robotaxis on its network) and a threat. It is a solid business, but with a future under debate.
In short: UBERx is the tokenized version of Uber stock, backed 1:1 by a real share. Skipo lets you buy UBERx in Chile directly in pesos, with no fees and instant settlement.
Why do investors choose Uber?
Uber is one of the most closely followed tech stocks because it combines an everyday, global business with a turn toward profitability. These are the reasons that matter most to people investing from Chile, along with the risks to consider.
A platform beyond rides
Uber is no longer just rides: it is a platform that combines mobility, food delivery (Uber Eats), freight, advertising and subscriptions. That diversification lets it grow on several fronts at once and depend less on a single business. For an investor, it is exposure to a complete ecosystem of on-demand services.
Profitable and at a reasonable valuation
After years of losses early on, Uber became a profitable company with strong cash generation. Unlike other tech stocks that trade at very high multiples, Uber trades at a more contained valuation, something investors looking for growth without paying extreme prices tend to value.
The big debate: autonomous vehicles
The biggest point of discussion about Uber is the impact of autonomous vehicles (robotaxis). They can be a threat, if self-driving companies operate on their own, or an opportunity, if Uber becomes the platform that connects them with millions of users. It is a real uncertainty worth keeping in mind before investing.
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 UBERx 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: Uber is a global mobility and delivery platform, profitable and at a reasonable valuation, although with the open debate over autonomous vehicles. With Skipo you can add UBERx to your portfolio in Chile in pesos and trade it 24 hours a day Monday to Friday.
Which platforms let you invest in Uber in Chile?
In Chile you can invest in Uber 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 transaction fees; Skipo lets you buy UBERx in pesos, with no fees and with a much wider trading window.
24-hour trading, 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 mid-afternoon window. Skipo lets you buy and sell UBERx 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, even outside Wall Street hours. On weekends the market is closed: you cannot buy or sell UBERx on Saturday or Sunday.
No fees
Skipo does not charge a fee for buying or selling tokenized stocks, or for account maintenance. With traditional brokers, by contrast, each trade usually carries a transaction fee and, in some cases, maintenance costs.
Direct purchase 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 operating in foreign currency.
| Criterion | Skipo (UBERx) | Traditional brokers (Renta4, Racional, Zesty) |
|---|---|---|
| Buy/sell fee | CLP 0 | Transaction fee (approx. 0.15% to 0.6% + VAT, depending on the platform) |
| Custody / maintenance | CLP 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 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, starting at CLP 1,000 | Depends on the platform; sometimes requires a full 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 Uber, but they differ in cost, hours and currency. Skipo lets you buy UBERx with no fees, in pesos and 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, on a platform registered with the CMF.

How do autonomous vehicles affect Uber?

No. Uber does not pay dividends: it prefers to return capital to its shareholders through share buybacks. Since UBERx replicates the economic exposure of the stock, it does not generate dividends either, and its return depends on changes in its price.
