The Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE) and OKX (OKEx) announced today that they have officially established a joint venture to build a new generation of infrastructure focused on tokenization and digital native financial products.
The Intercontinental Exchange is one of the world's leading financial market technology and data service providers, with businesses that drive global capital market operations; OKX is one of the largest blockchain technology companies globally, serving over 120 million users worldwide.
Upon obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals, the joint venture is expected to operate as a U.S. registered broker-dealer and futures commission merchant (FCM), allowing OKX's users in the U.S. and overseas to access ICE's futures markets and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) tokenized stock market. This equal joint venture, with both parties holding 50% equity, will also actively explore blockchain-enabled, regulatory-compliant adjacent market opportunities.
The joint venture will be co-chaired by ICE and former New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. Cuomo previously served as the 56th Governor of New York, New York Attorney General, and Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and has partnered with OKX since 2023.
"The next chapter of financial markets will depend on whether innovation and government regulation can synergize effectively," Cuomo said. "This collaboration brings together OKX's world-class blockchain technology and ICE's trusted market infrastructure to help jointly build a more modern, transparent, and resilient future financial system. I personally look forward to the social impact that blockchain technology can bring—promoting financial democratization and ensuring foundational financial services reach those who have not been adequately covered."
"The ICE and OKX joint venture is a step towards building the infrastructure upon which future global markets will rely for decades to come," said Trabue Bland, Senior Vice President of ICE Futures Exchange. "ICE's global benchmark products and regulated market technology have earned the trust of institutions and traders around the world. Now, through our cooperation with OKX, we are working to extend this reach to OKX's 120 million retail trading users."
The establishment of this joint venture is the first major action following ICE's strategic investment in OKX in March of this year.
