Salvadoran fintech platform TOHKN has launched TOHKN US Public Markets, a service offering Latin American users tokenized exposure to US stocks, exchange-traded funds, bonds, and major cryptocurrencies. The company said investments will start from US$10 through its digital platform. The launch advances TOHKN’s strategy of widening retail access to global financial assets through tokenization.
Regulated Access to US Markets
The program will issue digital assets called tStocks, tETFs, and tBonds, which are linked to traditional securities traded in the United States. TOHKN operates through the technological and regulatory infrastructure of MIO3, a registered Digital Asset Service Provider in El Salvador. MIO3 is supervised by the National Commission of Digital Assets under the country’s Digital Asset Issuance Law.
Lowering Regional Investment Barriers
TOHKN aims to reduce obstacles that have historically limited Latin American participation in US capital markets, including international account requirements, high fees, and complicated onboarding. The company said users can gain exposure to businesses such as Apple and Nvidia, alongside ETFs managed by firms including BlackRock and Vanguard. It also intends to expand the available selection across a broader range of US-listed securities.
El Salvador’s Digital Asset Framework
The company presented the launch as another step in El Salvador’s development as a regional center for regulated digital finance. According to TOHKN, the public offering structure establishes requirements for disclosure, digital custody, and legal oversight of the tokenized products. Chief Executive and co-founder Julio Valdés said the regulatory framework could help Latin America participate more actively in the next phase of global finance.
Building on Previous Tokenized Products
The public markets service follows earlier tokenization initiatives developed by TOHKN and MIO3. These included THKN1, which TOHKN described as the region’s first publicly offered tokenized Simple Agreement for Future Equity, an instrument providing future equity rights. The company said the pre-seed offering raised US$1.2 million and reached capacity within 48 hours, attracting more than 600 investors.
Moving Into Additional Asset Classes
TOHKN later introduced RNCRrev, a public digital asset issuance linked to a real estate development by Calidad Inmobiliaria. The product was designed to give individual investors access to returns associated with a physical property project through a tokenized structure. These earlier offerings helped establish the platform’s foundation before its expansion into public equities, fixed-income instruments, and cryptocurrencies.
Technology and Strategic Support
The platform uses blockchain infrastructure, smart contracts, digital certificates, and custody systems intended to simplify the investment process for users. Chief Technology Officer and co-founder Felipe Nuila said the underlying technology is designed to operate behind a straightforward interface. TOHKN also identifies regional business leaders Roberto Kriete, Simón Borrero, and Sergio Paiz among the figures supporting its development.
Plans for Continued Expansion
TOHKN plans to add more tokenized stocks, ETFs, bonds, and cryptocurrencies while introducing further public offerings connected to investment opportunities in Central America. Chief Growth Officer and co-founder Alejandro Argumedo said the company wants Latin American users to access products historically available to a narrower group of investors. The platform also expects to introduce new app functions as its regional ecosystem grows.
TOHKN’s launch reflects the increasing use of tokenization to connect traditional securities with digital asset infrastructure. By combining a low investment threshold with an offering structured under El Salvador’s regulatory system, the company is positioning itself as a gateway to global markets for Latin American investors. Its progress will depend on regulatory compliance, investor education, security, and successful regional execution.
