TechFlow News, March 5: According to Fortune, ICE—the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)—has invested in cryptocurrency exchange OKX, valuing it at $25 billion.
OKX will provide ICE with real-time price data feeds for cryptocurrencies tradable on its platform. More importantly, OKX users will be able to directly trade tokenized stocks and derivatives listed on the NYSE—a feature expected to officially launch in the second half of 2026.
Rafique stated that OKX plans to relocate up to 2,000 of its 5,000 employees to the United States, though no specific timeline was disclosed. “We will definitely make substantial investments in the U.S., especially to support this product,” he said, referring specifically to the tokenized stock trading initiative and ICE’s other asset offerings.
