Intel, Oracle, IBM and IonQ join 26 firms objecting to OKX-ICE tokenized stock plans

Intel, Oracle, IBM and IonQ have objected to OKX and ICE's plans to offer blockchain-based trading of their shares, bringing the total number of issuer objections to 26. The objections highlight issuer caution over the SEC's five-year Innovation Exemption, which permits round-the-clock blockchain trading but allows companies 30 days to block inclusion. Industry experts say the growing list reflects a wait-and-see approach as issuers seek more clarity on shareholder protections and the benefits of tokenized trading.
