OKX Brings Blockchain Trading to US Equity Markets
Key Summary
OKX has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a tokenized-stock trading platform in the US, following the introduction of a five-year Innovation Exemption in September 2026. The exemption allows qualified Tokenized Securities Venues to trade tokenized National Market System stocks on-chain, but OKX's current products are classified as synthetic and do not preserve shareholder rights. OKX already sells tokenized stocks, offering over 70 US stocks and ETFs, and has a joint venture with Intercontinental Exchange to offer tokenized NYSE equities once it secures US broker-dealer and futures commission merchant status.
