If you live outside the US, the cleanest way to own US stocks is an international brokerage account. If you only want to trade price moves, you can use CFDs, tokenized stocks, or stock perpetual futures. 10X sits in the price-exposure category: it gives iPhone traders access to Hyperliquid perps, not legal ownership of US shares.
If your goal is to invest for years, use a real brokerage if you can. You want ownership, statements, tax records, and investor protections.
If your goal is to trade a short-term view, ownership matters less. You care about access, spreads, hours, leverage, and risk controls.
| Route | Good for | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| International brokerage | Owning US shares | Country support and paperwork |
| CFD broker | Fast price exposure | Broker counterparty risk |
| Tokenized stocks | Crypto-native stock exposure | Issuer and redemption risk |
| Stock perps | Long or short active trading | Liquidation and funding risk |
A trader outside the US may care less about a desktop Wall Street terminal and more about whether the app works from their phone.
10X keeps the workflow simple: iOS app, USDC collateral, long or short exposure, Hyperliquid execution.
Often yes, through an international brokerage. Availability depends on your country and broker.
No. 10X provides access to perps on Hyperliquid.
Perp markets can trade 24/7, but liquidity and pricing may change outside US market hours.
No. Perps settle in USDC.
The main risk is using leverage without understanding liquidation.
Download the iOS app or open the desktop app. Self-custodial. No KYC. 150+ markets.
