Intel, IBM, Oracle, IonQ Join Over 40% of Firms Opting Out of OKX-ICE Tokenized Stocks

The opt-out wave reframes tokenized equities as a consent problem rather than a technology problem: issuers, not platforms, decide whether a stock exists in token form, and the largest names are choosing not to. That limits the addressable universe for OKX-ICE and signals that corporate pushback can shrink a tokenized roster faster than demand builds it. For tokenization platforms broadly, the precedent matters more than this single venue. Whether opt-outs keep climbing past the initial cohort, and whether remaining issuers stay in, is the open question.
