OKXICE, a joint venture formed by crypto exchange OKX and ICE (the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange), has filed a notice with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) outlining its intent to seek approval for a platform dedicated to trading tokenized securities under the innovation exemption rules.
The filing itself doesn't reveal much: no timeline, no scope of what will be tradable, no details on how the platform would actually operate. But the name "OKXICE" says a lot about what's at stake here—one of the world's leading crypto exchanges teaming up with the company that runs the NYSE, with the joint entity pursuing the innovation exemption pathway the SEC has carved out for new types of financial infrastructure, rather than going through the traditional securities exchange application process.
For now, all that's publicly known is that OKXICE has submitted this notice of intent to the SEC. Whether the platform actually gets off the ground, when it might launch, and which US stocks it would cover all remain to be seen pending further official announcements.
