OKX-ICE tokenized stock venue to open on 23 November with a fraction of its target list

Launch date and scope

OKX and Intercontinental Exchange plan to open their tokenized stock trading platform on 23 November 2026, according to BitKE. The venue will list more than 70 tokenized securities, with trading around the clock and settlement in stablecoins.

The technical setup relies on Uniswap v4 liquidity pools running on OKX's X Layer blockchain, with Securitize supplying the tokenization infrastructure. At launch, only eligible OKX customers based in the United States will be able to use it.

Most targeted issuers objected

The initial list of companies whose shares the venture wanted to tokenize numbered 62. BitKE reports that 56 of them, about 90%, objected to their stock being traded on the platform.

Among the objectors named by BitKE are Intel, IBM, Oracle, Cisco, Apple, Meta and Palantir. The report also lists 59 exchange-traded funds from asset manager Direxion among the products affected by the opposition.

BitKE attributes the resistance in part to concerns about third-party products and endorsements. The result is that the platform's early stock listings lean heavily on crypto-linked companies, the report says.

What remains unresolved

The objections point to a gap between crypto firms and financial institutions building on-chain securities markets and major stock issuers that have not agreed to let their shares trade outside traditional market infrastructure, according to BitKE.

The report does not say which companies will appear on the platform at launch, whether any of the objectors have changed position, or how OKX and ICE will handle shares of issuers that have spoken against tokenization. OKX and ICE have not commented in the report on the final list.
