The U.S. stock market allows investors to trade shares of companies listed on exchanges such as the NYSE and Nasdaq through TOHKN, subject to asset availability and market hours. Prices change based on supply and demand, and investing involves risk with no guaranteed return.

The U.S. stock market is one of the largest and best-known financial markets in the world.

In this market, investors buy and sell shares of publicly traded companies such as Apple, Nvidia, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and many others listed on stock exchanges.

Through TOHKN, you will be able to access available U.S. stocks, subject to availability on the platform, market hours, applicable verification procedures, and operational conditions.

🏛 What Does “Stock Market” Mean?

The stock market is the marketplace where buyers and sellers trade shares of publicly traded companies.

When a company is publicly listed, its shares may be bought and sold on organized exchanges.

Some of the best-known U.S. stock exchanges are:

  • The New York Stock Exchange, also known as the NYSE

  • Nasdaq

Many companies in the technology, financial services, consumer goods, healthcare, entertainment, and energy sectors are listed on these exchanges.

📈 Which Companies Are Part of the U.S. Market?

The U.S. stock market includes companies of different sizes and from a wide range of industries.

Some well-known examples include:

  • Apple

  • Nvidia

  • Google

  • Amazon

  • Microsoft

  • Tesla

  • Meta

  • Coca-Cola

  • Netflix

The availability of each stock may vary within TOHKN.

The fact that a company is listed in the United States does not necessarily mean that its stock will be available in the app at all times.

⏰ Is the Market Open All the Time?

No.

Unlike certain assets, such as some cryptocurrencies, the U.S. stock market operates during defined market hours.

This means that purchases and sales may depend on whether the market is open, closed, observing a holiday, or operating under special conditions.

If you attempt to buy or sell a stock outside the available trading hours, your order may remain pending or be processed when the market allows, subject to the applicable conditions within TOHKN.

Specific trading hours may vary because of holidays, special closures, or operational changes.

💵 How Is a Stock’s Price Determined?

A stock’s price is determined by market supply and demand.

This means the price may change depending on how many people want to buy or sell the stock at a particular time.

Some factors that may influence the price include:

  • The company’s financial results

  • Important news

  • Growth expectations

  • Changes in the economy

  • Broader market movements

  • Global events

  • Investor decisions

For this reason, the price displayed when you review a stock may change before you confirm a transaction or before the order is processed.

🧩 Do All Stocks Work the Same Way?

Not necessarily.

Each stock may have different characteristics, including:

  • A different price

  • Higher or lower price movement during the day

  • Greater or more limited availability

  • Different levels of liquidity

  • Applicable restrictions or conditions

  • The possibility of purchasing fractional shares, when available

Before purchasing a stock, it is important to review the information available in the app and understand that each asset may behave differently.

⚠️ Important Information About Risk

Investing in stocks involves risk.

Although the U.S. market includes some of the best-known companies in the world, this does not guarantee that a stock will increase in price or generate a return.

Keep the following in mind:

  • The price may rise or fall.

  • Returns are not guaranteed.

  • You may receive less than the amount you invested.

  • Market conditions may change quickly.

  • A stock’s past performance does not guarantee future results.
