CoreWeave, Broadcom, Verizon, Others Object to Tokenized Share Trading on OKXICE
Several US-listed companies, including CoreWeave, Broadcom, and Verizon, have objected to tokenized versions of their shares trading on OKXICE, a planned platform. OKXICE, owned by Intercontinental Exchange and OKC, aims to offer 24/7 trading of tokenized securities paired with stablecoins. The platform operates under the SEC's Innovation Exemption, which allows tokenized share trading with certain conditions.
