Crypto exchange OKX together with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), announced the launch of the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue (TSV) platform on November 23, 2026. It will enable eligible US investors to trade tokenized securities around the clock.
At launch, the platform will offer more than 70 assets, including shares of Coinbase, Circle, Robinhood, Strategy, BitGo and other companies, as well as 59 Direxion exchange-traded funds.
As OKX representatives reported, the platform was created within a temporary exemption from SEC requirements — Innovation Exemption.
Trading will be carried out through automated market maker (AMM) liquidity pools based on Uniswap v4 on the X Layer network. The tokenization technology infrastructure will be provided by Securitize.
Each token will be backed by a corresponding share at a 1:1 ratio. Holders will receive the economic and corporate rights tied to the underlying securities, including dividends and voting participation.
Assets will be stored in users' non-custodial wallets. To gain access, identification and registration on the platform will be required.
At the same time, the initiative faced resistance from a number of large corporations. Earlier, some American companies opposed the inclusion of their shares in trading on OKXICE.
Later, the number of objecting issuers grew. As of November 5, 2026, 56 out of 62 companies on the initial list had come out against it. Among them were Microsoft, Alphabet, JPMorgan Chase, Nvidia and other corporations.
At the same time, the objections concerned the inclusion of tokenized versions of their securities in trading on a specific platform, and not necessarily the tokenization technology in general.
Despite this, several companies confirmed participation in the launch, including Circle, Strategy, and Direxion. The platform will be available only to users from the US who meet the requirements.
