What's the easiest way to Invest in US 🇺🇸Stocks from India 🇮🇳 at Least cost and INSTANT Speed? A thread 🧵 (1/5) #Investing #FTX #BNS
This route involves using crypto exchanges to buy the US stocks. 1: Open an account in an Indian crypto exchange & complete KYC (Ex: @bitbns) Link: shorturl.at/uCT56 2. Open an account with @FTX_Official (Link: shorturl.at/yBDE3) and complete Level 2 KYC (2/5) #FTT
3. Deposit INR into Bitbns and Purchase USDT. 4. Withdraw USDT from Bitbns to FTX using TRC-20 (Tron chain) 5. In FTX convert USDT to USD 6. Purchase any of the US-based stocks. (Note: Not all the US-listed shares are available) Read next few points very important! (3/5)
