Verizon, Broadcom, UnitedHealth Among Nine Firms Objecting to OKX-ICE Tokenized Stock Venue

The pushback from established issuers like Verizon, Broadcom and UnitedHealth signals that tokenized equities face a corporate-governance hurdle, not just a regulatory one. Companies appear unwilling to see their shares wrapped and traded on a crypto venue without consent, which could complicate OKX-ICE's ability to list blue-chip names. The open question is whether the venue can proceed with disputed tickers or must rely on issuers that opt in, and how ICE's involvement shapes that negotiation.
