GoKawiilIntel, Oracle, IBM, IonQ Opt Out of OKX-ICE Tokenized Stock Venture
OKXICE, the joint venture between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, has added Intel, Oracle, IBM and IonQ to its public notice of companies declining to have their shares tokenized, bringing total objections to 26. That means roughly 37% of companies on OKXICE's original list have opted out, following earlier objectors like Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, Cisco and Wells Fargo.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The pattern suggests many large public companies remain wary of having their shares traded on blockchain-based venues without their consent, even under an SEC-sanctioned pilot program. This could complicate OKXICE's effort to build a liquid, credible market for tokenized equities, since the SEC's five-year 'Innovation Exemption' explicitly lets issuers block participation rather than requiring opt-in.
- 26 companies have now objected to OKXICE's tokenized stock plans, including new additions Intel, Oracle, IBM and IonQ.
- About 37% of firms on OKXICE's original list have opted out of the venture.
- The SEC's Innovation Exemption framework requires issuer notification with a 30-day objection window before tokenized shares can be offered.
