OKXICE’s proposed tokenized stock-trading service faced 56 objections in its Nov. 2 public notice, after Amazon, Tesla, SpaceX, Netflix, SoFi Technologies and Lam Research joined the opposition. A later Nov. 5 report by Fox Business crypto reporter Eleanor Terrett put the total at 62, including Nebius, Boeing and ServiceNow. The differing counts reflect successive disclosures: 49 of the 62 companies initially selected had objected by Nov. 2, while the later report said 54 initial selections had objected. OKXICE, a joint venture between crypto exchange OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, plans round-the-clock trading in tokenized US equities settled with stablecoins through permissioned liquidity pools on OKX’s X Layer blockchain. Under the SEC’s five-year innovation exemption, companies can object to an unaffiliated third party offering tokenized versions of their shares on a particular venue, but an objection does not prevent other tokenization arrangements or an issuer’s own offering. The rising opposition could reduce the range of stocks available through OKXICE and test the exemption’s effect on third-party tokenized equity distribution.
