OKXICE LLC filed a proposal with the U.S. SEC on Sunday, October 4, 2026, seeking approval for a 24/7 venue covering OKX tokenized stocks of an initial 63 public companies.
The joint venture between crypto exchange operator OKX tokenized stocks and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent of the New York Stock Exchange, is testing whether blockchain-based equity trading can enter US markets; the filing is not SEC approval or evidence of a market launch.
The proposed stock list includes Nvidia, Apple, Coca-Cola, Cisco Systems and McDonald’s. The distinction between a filing and an operating venue matters: the proposal identifies a possible trading model, while regulatory review and issuer participation still stand between that plan and trading.
OKX just asked the SEC for permission to sell tokenized U.S. stocks. The filing is the boring part. The tell is who is asking. For three years tokenized equities lived offshore, where the pitch was that U.S. rules made them impossible. A major exchange just walked into the… https://t.co/puODfvNN5u

What Does the OKX Tokenized Stocks Filing Propose? 63 Stocks and a 24/7 Schedule
Bloomberg has reported that OKXICE plans to seek approval to offer tokenized shares of 63 companies. Under the SEC framework described in the report, issuers have 30 days to opt out before trading can begin, making the initial list a proposal rather than a guaranteed final roster.
The opt-out period leaves companies with a role in determining which names could ultimately appear on the venue. If issuers decline participation, the eligible universe may be smaller or otherwise differ from the 63 companies named in the filing. The report does not provide a final list or identify any issuer decisions.
The proposed 24/7 schedule would extend access beyond conventional US stock trading hours. The filing brings together a crypto exchange operator and the parent of the NYSE, but the available reporting does not specify the venue’s technical design, custody arrangements, or settlement assets.
In particular, it does not establish whether trading would use OKX tokenized stocks X Layer, how stablecoins might factor into settlement, or what legal rights token holders would have. Those details cannot be treated as settled features of the proposal on the basis of the filing summary.
The broader effort to place traditional equities on blockchain infrastructure is also visible in the NYSE’s on-chain equities initiative with Securitize. That context reinforces the strategic overlap between established exchange groups and blockchain firms, while leaving the specific design of OKXICE’s venue open.

The central constraint is regulatory: OKXICE has filed to seek approval, but the reporting does not say the SEC has approved the venue. It also doesn’t give a launch date. A filing is a step toward a possible market, not proof that investors can already trade tokenized versions of the named stocks.
The 30-day issuer opt-out process is another condition between the proposed list and any trading. It could affect which shares are available, while the source does not confirm whether any company has opted out or how participation would be finalized. The stated 63-company scope should therefore be read as an initial proposal.
Other implementation questions remain open. The reporting does not specify investor protections, custody, liquidity arrangements, or how token holders would be treated in relation to the underlying shares. It also does not establish dividend or voting rights, leaving the rights attached to the tokenized shares unspecified in the available reporting.
The filing summary likewise does not confirm that the venue would use X Layer, stablecoins, automated market makers, or liquidity pools. These features may be relevant to how a blockchain-based market operates, but attributing them to this proposal without verified documentation would overstate what has been disclosed.

For exchanges, the proposal connects crypto-native trading infrastructure with a major traditional-market group at a time when round-the-clock access is drawing wider interest.
Reuters separately reported that NYSE, Nasdaq and the London Stock Exchange are preparing their own initiatives for around-the-clock trading. That activity points to a broader contest over trading hours, although the exchanges’ plans do not establish how OKXICE’s proposal will perform.
Continuous availability could let investors respond to company news outside standard U.S. market hours. But 24/7 access does not itself guarantee deep liquidity or prices that closely track shares traded on conventional exchanges.
Overnight or weekend trading could bring thinner liquidity, wider spreads, and greater divergence from the underlying market; these are potential market-structure risks, not outcomes established by the filing.
Existing blockchain-based equity exposure offers a point of comparison, but it should not be conflated with an SEC-reviewed U.S. venue. Available reporting does not address Robinhood Chain, while tokenized stocks offered through Base raise separate questions about availability and regulatory scope.
For OKX and ICE, the next meaningful milestones are whether the SEC permits the proposed venue to proceed and which issuers remain in the eligible group after the opt-out window.
Until those points are resolved, the filing signals an attempt to bring tokenized equities into U.S. markets, not a new source of live 24/7 stock access.
