How can I buy US stocks from Egypt?
One way is stock tokens such as Apple, Tesla and Nvidia in Catch, which runs in Telegram and on the web, does not block Egypt and trades 24/7 for 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum. You add money by card through MoonPay, which takes Egyptian pounds and asks for a passport or residence permit, or by sending USDC on Base from another wallet or exchange.

Ways to add money from Egypt
By card: MoonPay runs card payments in Catch, lists Egypt as supported and takes Egyptian pounds. Card top-ups start at $30. The first time, MoonPay asks for your name, date of birth and address, and sometimes a photo ID. For Egypt, MoonPay accepts only a passport or a residence permit, not a national ID card.
From a wallet or exchange: Withdraw USDC, choose the Base network, and send it to the address Catch shows under Add money. Only send on Base or Robinhood Chain; other networks may be lost. If your only ID is a national ID card, this is the way to add money.
Your money sits in one balance, held in dollars, across Base and Robinhood Chain, and moving it between them has no Catch fee.
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 your only ID is a national ID card, the card route will not work for you; send USDC on Base instead.
