What happened
OKXICE, the joint venue of crypto exchange OKX and ICE, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, opens on November 23. It expects more than 70 assets: stocks of Coinbase, Circle, Robinhood, Strategy, BitGo, Securitize and Better.com, plus 59 Direxion ETFs. Strategy will also list its preferred stock.
Why it matters to you
A stock token is a digital record on a blockchain backed 1:1 by a real share. It can trade around the clock. But 67 companies, including Apple, Amazon and Tesla, have blocked tokens of their stock on this venue. Only 6 of the 63 stocks on the first list remain.
What to check and watch
Access is only for verified OKX customers in the US. A venue representative said not every asset may trade on day one. The Direxion fund list is not out yet. This is an overview, not advice.

What happened. On November 11 OKX said its OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue (TSV) will open on November 23. According to Unchained, trading starts at 9 a.m. New York time. The venue is a joint venture of OKX and ICE, the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange.
What is on the list. More than 70 assets. These are stocks of Better.com, BitGo, Circle, Coinbase, Robinhood, Securitize and Strategy, Strategy preferred shares such as STRC, and 59 Direxion ETFs. Direxion is known for leveraged funds and funds that gain when markets fall.
Why the list looks like this. The venue runs under the SEC Innovation Exemption. The SEC is the main US market regulator. Before it trades a token of someone else's stock, the venue must notify the company, and the company can object. The OKXICE notice dated November 5 lists 67 companies that objected, among them Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Meta and Goldman Sachs. Ledger Insights says only 6 of the 63 stocks on the October list remain, all of them crypto or crypto-adjacent firms.
How it works. Trading runs through Uniswap v4 liquidity pools on X Layer, the OKX layer 2 network on top of Ethereum. Securitize issues the tokens. OKX says each token is backed 1:1 by a share and carries shareholder rights: dividends, voting and corporate actions. Tokens sit in the customer's own wallet; the venue does not hold them.
Who can use it. Only US customers of OKX Inc. who pass identity checks, activate a CeDeFi Wallet and onboard with OKXICE. OKX states that the venue is not a registered exchange or broker-dealer and is not approved by the SEC.
