OKX-ICE tokenized stocks: Intel, IBM, Oracle and IonQ appear among objectors

An official list of twenty-six companies

OKXICE TSV’s public notice dated October 26, 2026, lists 26 issuers that have submitted objections to their securities being included in its arrangement. Intel, International Business Machines, Oracle and IonQ appear at the end of the list. The document also includes Alphabet, Microsoft, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs. This record establishes the objections without attributing motives to those companies that they do not individually explain in it.

Cointelegraph reported the information on October 27, presenting those four names as the latest additions and describing an initial proposal covering 62 companies. Those two groups must remain distinct: a list of securities being considered does not mean they are all actually available to trade. The dated notice establishes the objections declared at that point; by itself, it cannot describe the state of a subsequent list.

A temporary exemption subject to conditions

On September 17, 2026, the SEC adopted a temporary, conditional exemption for certain tokenized securities platforms, known as Tokenized Securities Venues. The order concerns, among other things, the regulatory definition of an exchange and, for certain liquidity providers, the definition of a dealer. It covers regulated trading in U.S. National Market System stocks through automated market makers and liquidity pools available to authorized participants.

This framework is not a general authorization to turn any asset into a token. The order distinguishes tokenized securities from instruments providing only synthetic exposure to a stock. It maintains conditions that must be met to benefit from the exemption. In his statement accompanying the decision, Commissioner Mark Uyeda presented the experiment as a way to observe these markets before future regulatory decisions, while preserving investor protection and market integrity.

Rights must be checked beyond the technology

In its notice, OKXICE describes an arrangement in which a separate tokenizer holds the underlying shares through a regulated intermediary, with one share backing each token. The document provides for verification of dividend rights, voting rights and rights to residual assets. It also states that the entities comprising the venue and their affiliates do not themselves tokenize the securities offered. These are the arrangement’s stated characteristics, rather than proof of its operation for every security.

The issue of objections therefore goes beyond the choice of a blockchain. The venue’s status, custody of the shares, rights attached to the tokens and each issuer’s position must be distinguished. Neither a smart contract nor a regulatory exemption proves the consent of the company whose name appears on a security. The October 26 document confirms declared objections by the companies listed; it does not establish a general prohibition on tokenization.
