OKXICE, a joint venture of cryptocurrency exchange OKX and New York Stock Exchange parent Intercontinental Exchange, said Wednesday that its Tokenized Securities Venue will open on Nov. 23 for eligible U.S. customers in the OKX app^2,3.

The venture said more than 70 assets are expected to be listed, including securities from Better.com, BitGo, Circle, Coinbase, Robinhood, Securitize and Strategy, plus 59 exchange-traded funds from Direxion^2,3. Strategy will also list preferred stocks².

Techmeme, citing Scott Patterson of Bloomberg, said 56 of 62 companies OKXICE had targeted objected to having their shares traded on the venue¹. Decrypt, citing a Nov. 5 public notice, put the objector count at 67 companies, including every member of the so-called Magnificent Seven technology group³. The publicly available Bloomberg takeaways did not include that objection tally⁴.

Decrypt said Coinbase, Robinhood and Strategy did not appear on the Nov. 5 objector list and are among the launch issuers³. Bloomberg's takeaways said not all of the more than 70 planned assets will be available at the start⁴.

OKX said the venue will launch under the Securities and Exchange Commission's Innovation Exemption². Decrypt reported the exemption, unveiled in September, lets companies keep third-party tokenized versions of their stock off a venue by objecting within 30 days³.

Securitize will provide tokenization infrastructure, OKX said, with each token representing a security entitlement backed one-to-one by an underlying U.S. share and carrying applicable dividends, voting rights and corporate-action participation^2,3. Customers are to hold tokens in self-custodial wallets; OKX said the venue will not hold assets or private keys².

Decrypt said trading will run through automated market maker pools built on Uniswap v4 on X Layer, OKX's Ethereum layer-2 network^2,3. Access is limited to eligible U.S.-based OKX Inc. customers who activate a CeDeFi Wallet, pass identity checks and complete OKXICE onboarding^2,3.

Trabue Bland, co-chair of OKXICE, said eligible investors will be able to access tokenized U.S. securities around the clock under the SEC exemption². OKX quoted former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who co-chairs the venture, as saying the SEC had created "a real opening for American markets to lead the next era of finance"^2,3.

OKX's post said OKXICE TSV is offered by OKXICE LLC under a temporary SEC exemption, is not a registered exchange or broker-dealer and is not approved by the SEC².
