OKX and NYSE Owner ICE File for 24/7 Tokenized US Stock Trading Venue

OKXICE, the joint venture between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on October 4 to pursue a tokenized-securities venue offering around-the-clock trading in more than 60 US-listed stocks. The filing moves the partners’ tokenized-equities plans into a regulatory process, though trading cannot start immediately for the reported initial group of issuers.

OKXICE files for a 24/7 tokenized market in more than 60 NYSE stocks

The proposed platform would offer 24/7 trading in tokenized securities tied to US-listed shares, according to Reuters. OKXICE is the vehicle formed by crypto exchange OKX and ICE, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange.

The filing seeks to establish a distinct venue, not to announce that the securities are already available for trading. Its proposed scope covers more than 60 stocks, while a separately reported initial list names 63 NYSE-listed companies.

SEC innovation exemption provides the proposed route

OKXICE’s proposed venue would use the SEC’s new innovation exemption for permissioned, blockchain-based trading of tokenized securities, under the framework set out in the agency’s September 17 order.

63-company initial list faces a 30-day issuer opt-out period

Bloomberg, in a report syndicated by Yahoo Finance, said OKXICE’s initial list contains 63 NYSE-listed companies. Their issuers would have 30 days to opt out before trading could begin.

That means the reported list does not establish that all 63 companies will be available when the venue begins trading.

Filing advances ICE and OKX’s March plan

ICE and OKX announced their strategic relationship in March 2026. Under that arrangement, OKX customers could gain access to ICE futures and NYSE tokenized equities, subject to regulatory approval, according to ICE’s announcement.

The new SEC filing supplies a concrete regulatory step toward the tokenized-equities portion of that plan. Approval under the innovation exemption and completion of the issuer opt-out process remain necessary before the reported initial shares can trade on the proposed 24/7 venue.
