2 sources →

Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, and four other major corporations have formally objected to the trading of tokenized versions of their shares on the OKXICE TSV platform. This brings the total number of companies opting out of the proposed venue to 16, representing approximately 25% of the initial 65 U.S.-listed stocks proposed for the platform. The objections were disclosed in an updated public notice issued by OKXICE, which is operating under a regulatory framework from the SEC.
