Intel, Oracle and IBM join objections to OKX-ICE tokenised stock venue
The number of issuers objecting to their shares trading on the planned OKXICE TSV platform has risen to 26, up from nine on 15 Oct, according to the venue's notice dated 26 Oct.
Why it matters: The objections show widening resistance from major US issuers to tokenised equities, while the notice flags unresolved investor-protection questions over self-custodied shares.
Key points
- Intel, Oracle, IBM and IonQ are the latest to object, taking the total to 26 from 22 on 23 Oct and nine on 15 Oct.
- The venue is a 50-50 joint venture between Intercontinental Exchange, which owns the NYSE, and OKX's US holding company.
- The notice says it is uncertain whether tokenised shares in self-custodied wallets would be covered by SIPC if the tokeniser's broker-dealer failed.

Technology firms dominate the roster, with Microsoft, Alphabet, Broadcom, Qualcomm, Arm and Cisco among them, alongside banks Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo.
