Crypto people only talk about one thing and its disgusting

LIVE NOW - The Largest Securities Exchange in the World is Coming Onchain NYSE and Securitize are laying the rails to bring real, issuer-backed securities onchain. @mblaugrund of @NYSE and @carlosdomingo of @Securitize break down how blockchain-native equities could work in practice: - transfer agents, - tokenized issuance, - interoperable trading infrastructure, - 24/7 markets, - and what it will take for public stocks to move from legacy rails to crypto rails.

So summarizing, @securitize will be the first TA and tokenization platform chosen by @nyse, we will be their design partner for their digital transfer agent program to develop standards for native tokenization and on-chain settlement of tokenized securities, and our BD Securitize Markets will be a market participant on their upcoming Digital Trading Platform. Very proud and humbled to have been chosen by @nyse for this role, and thanks to @mblaugrund for steering the partnership

Private credit has long operated without the data infrastructure that its scale demands.

Anchored by our partnership with Apollo, this is a platform built for those who move private markets. Read more: ir.theice.com/press/news-det…

A New Chapter: Building the Next Generation of Financial Infrastructure Our partnership with Intercontinental Exchange marks an important moment for OKX and for the broader evolution of digital asset markets. ICE has built and operated some of the most important financial infrastructure in the world, including the New York Stock Exchange and global derivatives and clearing platforms. Their decision to invest in OKX, and join our board, reflects a shared belief that digital asset technology will play an enduring role in the future of financial markets. For OKX, this partnership also represents a new chapter in how we approach the United States. In many ways, we view our presence in the U.S. as a blank sheet of paper — an opportunity to build thoughtfully, engage constructively with regulators and institutions, and contribute to the development of market infrastructure that meets the standards of the world’s most sophisticated capital markets. Financial markets are entering a period of structural transformation. Blockchain technology allows assets to move and settle globally with unprecedented efficiency. Artificial intelligence is reshaping how markets analyze information and manage risk. At the same time, expectations around safety, transparency, and investor protection remain as important as ever. The next generation of financial infrastructure must bring these elements together. One area where we see tremendous potential is the development of tokenized securities and digital representations of traditional assets. In the future, issuers may be able to bring securities directly to global investors through modern digital infrastructure, while still benefiting from the governance, market structure, and regulatory frameworks that have long defined traditional exchanges. Working alongside ICE and the broader New York Stock Exchange ecosystem gives us a unique opportunity to explore how these models can evolve responsibly. Our focus is not simply on new technology, but on building durable infrastructure for the global financial system. This includes improving market structure, strengthening risk management and clearing frameworks, expanding institutional access to digital assets, and creating platforms that protect consumers while enabling innovation. OKX today serves more than 120 million people globally and operates under licensing frameworks in major financial jurisdictions. Over the past decade, we have built high-performance trading systems, onchain technologies, payment systems and security frameworks capable of supporting large-scale global markets. As digital assets continue to mature, we believe collaboration between technology innovators and established financial institutions will be essential. Our partnership with ICE reflects this principle. Together we will explore how traditional exchange infrastructure and digital asset technology can complement each other to build stronger, more efficient markets. This investment is not an endpoint — it is the beginning of a deeper collaboration. Our goal is to help shape the next chapter of financial markets, where digital and traditional infrastructure work together to expand access, strengthen trust, and support innovation across the global economy. okx.com/en-us/learn/okx-ice-…
