OKX and NYSE parent ICE have filed with the SEC for a tokenized-stock trading venue in the US, with the launch plan centered on 63 NYSE-listed companies. The filings place the venture under the SEC’s new innovation exemption, and one piece says the proposed tokens would represent actual shareholder interests rather than synthetic exposure. Several pieces also say the venue is intended to trade tokenized stocks around the clock.

What it means

In practice, the filings point to a new route for trading shares under SEC conditions instead of a synthetic price-linked product. The setup also keeps a traditional company-level gate in place, since issuers can object before trading begins.
