All Magnificent Seven stocks opt out of OKX-ICE tokenized stock venue

The OKX and Intercontinental Exchange tokenized stock venue, OKXICE, faces massive resistance as 67 public companies, including all Magnificent Seven tech giants, have formally objected to having their shares listed. Operating under the SEC's September 2026 Innovation Exemption, issuers have 30 days to block third-party tokenization. Consequently, 56 of OKXICE's original 62 target stocks are blocked, leaving only crypto-native firms like Strategy, Coinbase, and Robinhood on the potential launch roster alongside severe liquidity concerns.

Corporate objections to OKXICE listings

• ▪A total of 67 corporate issuers have submitted written objections to OKXICE, including 56 of the 62 original companies targeted by the joint venture's October 4 proposal

SEC rules on issuer objections
