16 Firms Object to OKX-ICE Tokenized Stock Venue, Up From 9

The jump from nine to sixteen objectors in four days signals that corporate resistance to the OKX-ICE tokenized stock venue is organizing rather than isolated, and the arrival of names like Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs gives that push meaningful weight. This matters most for the venue's operators, who now face a widening list of issuers unwilling to have their shares represented in tokenized form, and for the broader tokenized-equity sector, which will be judged on how such issuer objections are handled. Whether the objector count keeps climbing before the venue launches is the open question.
