A joint venture involving crypto exchange OKX and the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. It wants to launch a platform for trading tokenized US stocks. Cointelegraph reported the filing on Oct 5, 2026.
The platform would offer tokenized shares of more than 60 companies listed in the United States. The venture is applying under what the report calls the SEC's recently introduced innovation exemption.
Several details are missing from the report. It does not name the 60-plus companies, give a launch date, say who could trade on the platform or what it would charge, or say how ownership of the joint venture is split. It also does not say whether the SEC has responded. For now, this is a filing and not a live product.
For anyone already holding a perpetual futures position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, nothing changes directly. The filing is for a tokenized stock trading platform, and the report says nothing about perpetual contracts, funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on existing markets. Until the SEC acts and the platform's products and terms are published, there is nothing new to measure on the cost of holding a perp.
