GoKawiilTokenized stock volumes surge abroad as Goldman, Microsoft object to OKXICE listings
Bitwise's latest quarterly report shows tokenized stock trading rising sharply on platforms like Robinhood Chain, Hyperliquid and Solana, with Robinhood Chain's volume jumping from $526 million in July to $11.31 billion in September. At the same time, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Caterpillar, McDonald's, Western Digital and Alphabet have formally objected to having tokenized versions of their shares traded on OKXICE, a venue launched by OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, joining earlier objectors like CoreWeave and UnitedHealth.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The split suggests crypto platforms are finding strong investor appetite for tokenized equities abroad, even as many issuers resist having their shares represented this way without consent. This gap could shape how regulators and exchanges approach tokenization going forward, since companies' objections may slow adoption or push platforms toward products not tied to specific corporate approval.
- Robinhood Chain's tokenized stock volume grew more than 20x from July to September, per Bitwise.
- Seven more major companies, including Goldman Sachs and Alphabet, have objected to OKXICE listing tokenized versions of their stock.
- The trend highlights unresolved tension between growing demand for tokenized assets and corporate pushback over control of their own equity representations.
