Apple and Meta Join Objections to OKX-ICE Tokenized Stock Venue

All seven of Wall Street’s “Magnificent Seven” companies have objected to having their shares offered on the planned OKX-ICE tokenized stock venue, according to a Decrypt report published on November 8, 2026, at 01:01:03 UTC+8.

Apple and Meta Platforms were among 11 companies added to an updated OKXICE TSV notice dated Thursday. They joined Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia and Tesla, bringing the total number of objecting companies to 67.

Objections expand ahead of launch

The other nine additions were Home Depot, Boeing, GE Vernova, Palantir, ServiceNow, S&P Global, KLA, Super Micro Computer and Nebius Group.

The list had grown from nine companies on October 15, when the first objections appeared, to 56 in the venue’s November 2 notice. Amazon, Tesla and SpaceX were among the companies that objected in that November notice.

Meta’s objection comes against the backdrop of its earlier digital-currency ambitions: the Facebook parent abandoned its Libra stablecoin project, later renamed Diem, in 2022 amid regulatory pushback.

What an objection means

According to the SEC order described in the report, the agency’s innovation exemption requires a venue to notify a company before offering shares tokenized by an unaffiliated third party. A written objection within 30 days prevents that venue from making the stock available for trading. The restriction applies only to the venue receiving the objection.

The SEC unveiled the exemption in September, after the Clarity Act failed to advance in the Senate, Decrypt reported.

OKXICE TSV is a 50-50 joint venture between NYSE owner Intercontinental Exchange and OKX’s U.S. holding company. It plans to offer round-the-clock trading in tokenized U.S. stocks through permissioned pools on OKX’s XLayer blockchain. An outside “tokenizer” would hold the underlying shares one-for-one through a registered broker-dealer.

Launch lineup remains unclear

Coinbase, Robinhood and Strategy did not appear on the objection list, nor did Berkshire Hathaway, Visa or Exxon Mobil. The report noted that it was unclear whether OKXICE had notified those companies; their absence therefore does not establish approval of the venue.

Coinbase had launched tokenized stocks for non-U.S. users on its Base network in August, according to Decrypt.

With all seven major technology companies opting out, the venue’s available launch lineup remained uncertain. Its notices did not identify the tokens it planned to offer.
