How to Trade NVIDIA Stocks via Crypto? No US Brokerage Account Required

What is HIP-3 and Why Can You Trade Stocks on Crypto?

HIP-3 (Hyperliquid Improvement Proposal #3) is a system that allows anyone to create perpetual markets on Hyperliquid. This enables entities like xyz exchange to create markets for synthetic US stocks such as NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, META, and more.

The term synthetic means you do not hold the actual shares. Instead, it is a contract betting on whether the price of NVIDIA stock will go up or down. Profits and losses are calculated based on the actual NVIDIA stock price in the US market.
