Public companies oppose OKX and ICE’s plan to list tokenized shares, raising questions about blockchain markets without issuer approval.
Nine publicly listed companies filed objections to OKX and ICE’s proposal to offer tokenized versions of their shares. The firms argued that the platforms are creating blockchain‑based markets without obtaining consent from the issuers.
The challenge highlights the growing debate over whether tokenized securities can be traded without the issuer’s approval and tests the limits of current securities regulations in the crypto space.
Regulators may scrutinize the move as they evaluate how to apply existing rules to digital asset exchanges, potentially influencing how other exchanges approach tokenized offerings.
