## Key facts

Three companies — Tokenized Stock Venue, Perpetuals.com and OKX — have notified the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of plans to operate venues trading tokenized stocks, the SEC said in a Wednesday announcement reported by Bitcoin Magazine. OKX filed alongside Intercontinental Exchange for a platform called OKXICE. The SEC said listing does not mean the firms meet all rule requirements.
Evidence strength: Single source, 1 publisher group(s) (Bitcoin Magazine); this describes source coverage, not truth or causation.
After site detection, observed returns were 5 minutes: -0.04% (21/10/2026, 20:56 → 21/10/2026, 21:01, UTC; Gate · USDT); 1 hour: +0.15% (21/10/2026, 20:56 → 21/10/2026, 21:56, UTC; Gate · USDT); 24 hours: -4.09% (21/10/2026, 20:56 → 22/10/2026, 20:56, UTC; Gate · USDT). Unlisted windows are unavailable.
In the preceding 30 days, the 99th percentile of absolute hourly returns was 1.23% (OKX · USDT; cutoff 21/10/2026, 20:56, UTC). This hourly baseline is not directly comparable with a minute move.

## Claims and open questions

- The SEC said Tokenized Stock Venue, Perpetuals.com and OKX submitted plans to operate by allowing trading of tokenized stocks, per Bitcoin Magazine.
- OKX, along with Intercontinental Exchange, was the first to file with the regulator to debut tokenized securities trading on a new platform, OKXICE, Bitcoin Magazine reported.
- The SEC said in September it was offering a five-year exemption to platforms that facilitate trading of tokenized stocks, and said Wednesday that being on the list does not necessarily mean the firms meet all requirements for the rule, per Bitcoin Magazine.
- What specific terms or conditions the SEC attached to the September five-year exemption, and what the firms' filings propose, would need the SEC's official rule text or the filings themselves.
- Whether OKXICE has received approval to launch, rather than just filing a notification, would need a further SEC statement or OKX announcement.
