NYSE’s Parent Just Filed to Tokenize 63 US Stocks on a Crypto-Native Exchange — And the SEC Already Gave It Permission

The most conservative institution in US market infrastructure just filed to tokenize 63 of America's most recognizable stocks on a crypto-native exchange. Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, and OKX announced OKXICE, a 50/50 joint venture that will offer tokenized versions of Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, JPMorgan, Walmart, Coca-Cola, Cisco, and McDonald's, among others. The filing, submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 5, 2026, represents the first regulated tokenized equity venue in the United States operating under an explicit federal exemption. The regulatory basis is the SEC's Innovation Exemption, issued September 17, 2026 under Chair Paul Atkins.
