OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, will open the OKXICE tokenized securities venue on November 23, 2026. The platform plans more than 70 digital assets linked to US shares and exchange-traded funds, and eligible US customers will trade them around the clock in the OKX app.
How the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue Works
OKXICE is a joint venture between OKX, the exchange behind OKB (OKB), and ICE. Trading runs on automated market maker pools built with Uniswap v4 on X Layer, the layer-2 network of OKX, and Securitize provides the tokenization infrastructure.
Each token represents a security entitlement backed one-to-one by an underlying US share, with the shareholder rights that come with it, including dividends, voting rights and participation in corporate actions, according to the OKX launch notice. Customers hold the digital securities in self-custodial wallets, and the venue keeps neither the assets nor the private keys.
The planned launch lineup includes securities from Better.com, BitGo, Circle, Coinbase, Robinhood, Securitize and Strategy, plus 59 Direxion ETFs and Strategy preferred stock. Bloomberg reported that some of the assets will not be tradable on the first day.
Who Can Trade at Launch
Access at launch is limited to eligible US-based OKX customers who activate a CeDeFi Wallet and complete onboarding with OKXICE. Identity verification is required. The venue launches under the SEC's Innovation Exemption, a framework that gives permissioned onchain trading of digital securities a path to market.
Issuers Push Back on Tokenized Shares
Not every company wants its stock on the venue. Of the 62 companies first selected by OKXICE, 56 raised objections, Bloomberg reported. Public opposition has reached 67 companies, including McDonald's, Coca-Cola and JPMorgan. Only six of the first selected group have not objected publicly, among them Coinbase, Strategy and Robinhood, all connected to the crypto industry.
OKB is the utility token of the OKX exchange, where it pays for trading fee discounts and powers X Layer as its gas token, according to Coinranking's OKB overview. Its OKB price chart tracks the token on Coinranking. OKXICE extends OKX into tokenized equities, a market several crypto firms entered during 2026.
