How do I buy US stocks from Australia?
One way is stock tokens such as Apple, Tesla and Nvidia in Catch, which runs in Telegram and on the web, does not block Australia and trades 24/7 for 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum. Each is a token that tracks a US-listed stock, and you add money by card through MoonPay or by sending USDC on Base from a wallet or exchange, with no bank transfer to a broker.

Ways to add money from Australia
From a wallet or exchange: Open Withdraw or Send (Pay in the Coinbase app), pick USDC and the network called Base, and send at least $5 to the address Catch shows under Add money. Only send on Base or Robinhood Chain; other networks may be lost. We have not checked whether your exchange lets you withdraw USDC on the Base network from Australia, so confirm with it before you send.
By card: MoonPay runs card payments in Catch. On 13 Nov 2026, MoonPay's country list allowed card purchases from Australia. MoonPay lists Australian dollars. Card top-ups start at $30. The first time, MoonPay asks for your name, date of birth, nationality and address, plus a government-issued photo ID and a selfie.
Australia's ASIC says its financial services laws apply to digital assets promoted to people in Australia, including from offshore. Before you add money, check the rules that apply to you.
Your money sits in one balance, held in dollars, across Base and Robinhood Chain, and moving it between them has no Catch fee.
What you are buying
Catch does not buy shares on a US exchange for you.
Each stock token is a token that tracks a US-listed stock or ETF. The tokens are issued by Coinbase on Base and by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited on Robinhood Chain, not by Catch.
Where Catch is not a fit
Catch sells stock tokens held in your Catch wallet, not a brokerage account. If you want a brokerage account, Catch is not a fit.
Catch has no bank transfer option. You add money by card through MoonPay, or from another wallet: USDC or ETH on Base, or USDG or ETH on Robinhood Chain.
If you live in the US, Catch is not a fit: Coinbase says its stock tokens are not available to persons in the US and other restricted places. Robinhood says its Stock Tokens may not be sold in the US or to US persons, and are not available to residents of Canada, the UK or Switzerland.
