Nine listed companies have formally objected to having their shares offered in tokenized form on the proposed tokenized stock platform backed by OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The companies included Cerebras Systems, AppLovin, Applied Digital, Rocket Lab, CoreWeave, Verizon Communications, Applied Optoelectronics, Broadcom and UnitedHealth Group, according to a Thursday notice by OKX and ICE. The notice did not disclose the reason behind the objection. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Sept. 17 innovation exemption announcement, tokenized venues must give issuers written notice and an opportunity to object before listing third-party tokenized stocks. “Issuers aren’t objecting to the blockchain. They’re objecting to not knowing what happens to their price once it trades there,” Robin Nordnes, CEO of trading validation platform Raiku, told Cointelegraph. “On a public chain, the validator building the block sets the order.

Crypto Biz: Wall Street closes at 4. Tokenized stocks keep trading
Tokenization is beginning to reshape traditional financial markets, with stocks increasingly in focus. Much of the attention has centered on the $3.3 billion in tokenized equities now onchain, according to RWA.xyz, but one of the biggest innovations may be what happens before Wall Street opens and after it closes. According to the latest industry data, more than 70% of tokenized stock trading volume on BNB Chain now occurs outside regular US market hours, with similar patterns emerging on Solana and Base. Tokenized equities allow investors to trade US stocks across time zones without waiting for Wall Street’s opening bell, potentially changing how liquidity is distributed throughout the day. However, many platforms driving this activity remain off-limits to American investors, even as US regulators begin to make room for tokenized stock trading. This week’s Crypto Biz looks at tokenized stock trading, the economics of Bitcoin mining, proposed accounting rules that could make it easier for companies to treat stablecoins as cash equivalents, and Strive’s expanding Bitcoin treasury.

Made an ‘honest’ mistake with crypto taxes? New bill offers way out
Crypto investors who failed to report trades in previous years may soon breathe a sigh of relief thanks to legislation currently advancing in the US Congress. Section 502 of the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, H. R. 10357, would require the Treasury secretary to establish a Digital Asset Voluntary Disclosure Program within 12 months of the bill becoming law. That would allow eligible taxpayers to correct any past digital asset tax violation by filing amended returns and paying the tax owed, along with interest and a program penalty. The House Ways and Means Committee approved the bill by a 38-5 vote on Sept. 16, but it has not become law yet; it still has to pass the House and Senate and be signed by the president. “It’s a big change that would help a lot of ordinary taxpayers, and it has gotten very little attention,” Andrew Gordon, executive director of Digital Asset Tax Action, tells Magazine.
