OKX-ICE joint venture to launch stock token platform on the 23rd

OKXICE, the joint venture between OKX and NYSE parent Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), will launch its U.S. equity- and ETF-linked digital asset trading platform on the 23rd, offering tokenized exposure to more than 70 listed assets, though some will not trade on day one, Bloomberg reported. The lineup includes 59 ETFs from leveraged and inverse issuer Direxion, and the venture's November 5 objection list named 67 companies. The launch matters as a major crypto exchange and the owner of the NYSE move tokenized equities—digital tokens representing rights to underlying shares and traded on-chain—into a live venue, testing demand for round-the-clock blockchain-based stock exposure. What to watch next is which of the 70-plus assets are actually tradeable at the open and whether the platform discloses the delayed names.
