OKX and ICE TSV Launch Nov 23: 70+ Tokenized Stocks Trade 24/7
The OKX and ICE TSV launch is set for November 23, and eligible US users will then be able to trade stock tokens day and night, according to the update on X.
OKXICE is the joint venture between the crypto exchange OKX and ICE, the parent firm of the New York Stock Exchange.
The venue opens with more than 70 assets, based on the official OKX announcement, and it runs under a new SEC rule called the innovation exemption.
Key Takeaways
Trading starts on November 23 for eligible US users who have an onboarded CeDeFi wallet.
More than 70 asset listings are expected, including 59 Direxion ETFs.
67 companies, including Meta and Tesla, had opted out as of the November 5 filing.
Trades run on the OKX X Layer network through permissioned pools with no order book.
What Is the OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue?
The OKXICE Tokenized Securities Venue, or TSV, is an on-chain market where people trade digital versions of US stocks and funds. The SEC created the innovation exemption in September as a five-year path, which lets venues like this one run without signing up as a standard exchange.
OKXICE built the venue on X Layer, the network made by OKX, and Securitize will supply the tools that turn shares into tokens.
Which tokenized stocks are expected to trade?
The expected launch list holds more than 70 assets from firms such as Coinbase, Circle, Robinhood, BitGo, Better.com, Securitize, and Strategy, plus 59 Direxion ETFs. Strategy also plans to list preferred shares such as STRC.
Many big names that traders hoped to see will not appear, because the November 5 filing showed that Meta, Netflix, Tesla, The Home Depot, and Costco were among the 67 companies that opted out.
How the OKX and ICE TSV Launch Works for US Traders
Only US users who finish onboarding and activate a CeDeFi wallet can join, and live trading begins in the OKX mobile app on November 23. Smart contracts check each wallet, so only approved wallets can trade or add liquidity.
The venue has no order book, since trades run through permissioned pools built on Uniswap v4, and it does not hold user assets or give out credit.
SEC Innovation Exemption Rules and Trading Limits
The exemption comes with tight limits that every crypto trader should know. A venue can list no more than 75 large US stocks, and trading volume is capped at 0.25% of the average daily volume of each stock.
If a stock is halted on its main exchange, token trading must stop right away too, which keeps the onchain price tied to the regular market.
OKX Past Security and Compliance Record
Readers should also know the history of the firm behind the venue. In February 2025, the Seychelles-based company that runs OKX pleaded guilty to running an unlicensed money-transmitting business in the US, and it agreed to pay more than $504 million in a fine and forfeiture, according to the US Department of Justice.
The deal also calls for an outside compliance consultant through February 2027. OKXICE is a separate joint venture with ICE, so this case is background for crypto investors and not a ruling on the new venue.
Risks to Check Before You Trade Stock Tokens
Stock tokens still carry market risk, smart contract risk, and the chance of thin liquidity in the pools, so traders should read the full terms and fee details before they deposit funds.
The long opt-out list also shows that some issuers are not yet ready to back this model, which may limit choice at the start. For more updates, follow our crypto news page.
Is trading really open 24/7?
Yes, the venue runs around the clock, but token trading stops when a stock is halted on its main exchange.
