OKXICE, the joint venture between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, plans to launch its Tokenized Securities Venue on Nov. 23 for eligible U.S. customers who complete onboarding and hold a CeDeFi Wallet. The platform is expected to support round-the-clock trading of more than 70 tokenized securities, including 59 exchange-traded funds and offerings involving Coinbase, Circle and Robinhood, although not every confirmed asset is guaranteed to be available on the first day. Trading will use permissioned liquidity pools on OKX’s X Layer blockchain and automated market makers rather than a conventional exchange order book. The venue will operate under a five-year SEC exemption issued Sept. 17, which permits qualifying tokenized-securities platforms to facilitate certain trades outside the traditional national securities-exchange framework, subject to verification, trading and investor-protection conditions. At least 67 companies, including Meta, Tesla, Netflix, Costco and Home Depot, have objected to unaffiliated third parties offering blockchain-based versions of their shares. Nasdaq has warned that trading outside the National Market System could fragment U.S. equity markets, while pursuing its own tokenization partnership with Payward.
