OKXICE, a joint venture between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), plans to push forward with tokenized stock trading.OKXICE initially proposed tokenizing 63 stocks and planned to support round-the-clock trading. The interim exemption framework introduced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in September requires that issuers be informed of stock tokenization arrangements in advance and be able to formally raise objections.Andrew Cuomo, a board member of OKX and co-chair of OKXICE as well as former Governor of New York, said some companies may accept tokenization immediately, while others will first observe how things develop.
