Nasdaq-listed Canton Strategic Holdings, formerly Tharimmune, plans to tokenize its common shares on the Canton Network, with trading possibly starting Nov. 2. Partners TSV LLC, a trading venue for tokenized securities, and Fairmint, an SEC-registered transfer agent that will keep ownership records and oversee compliance, are supporting the rollout. The tokenized shares would carry the same shareholder rights as the Nasdaq-listed stock, with round-the-clock trading through an automated market maker and immediate settlement, under the SEC's September innovation exemption. The company shifted to digital assets in November 2025 after raising $545 million, and it holds Canton Coin and invests in Canton Network projects, though it is not the network's developer, Digital Asset. At last look, CNTN was up more than 4.5% at about $2.13, with a market cap of $170 million.

- Why McDonalds, Microsoft and Google saying no to tokenized stocks isn't a dealbreaker
So far 22 publicly traded companies have objected to having their shares tokenized and traded on the OKX and ICE venue under the SEC's innovation exemption, including Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, McDonalds, Wells Fargo and Cisco. Under the rules, a venue must notify the issuer and allow 30 days to object; silence counts as consent and cannot be withdrawn once trading begins, so objecting can be the rational choice for legal and investor-relations teams still assessing the new structure. Some industry figures say the objections reflect caution toward a new process rather than rejection of tokenization, while Nasdaq objects to trading tokenized versions of its stock outside the National Market System over concerns about fragmented liquidity and weaker price discovery. Securitize and BitGo said they will not object to the listing.
- Wells Fargo and five others object to OKX-ICE tokenized stock listings: Report
As of Friday, 22 companies had filed objections to having their US stock listings tokenized on OKXICE, the proposed platform of a joint venture between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the NYSE, according to Reuters. Wells Fargo, Arm Holdings and Intuit were the latest to object, joining Microsoft and Alphabet, which did so in the past week, and 6 more companies have reportedly objected. Of the 22 companies, 16 are listed on Nasdaq and 6 on the NYSE. The venture proposed tokenizing stocks of 62 companies when it filed with the SEC under the innovation exemption, while Nasdaq's September guidance warned that issuers must be cautious. OKXICE co-chair Andrew Cuomo said he expects more objections as companies avoid being the first to test the model.
- Morning Minute: Nine Blue Chip Companies Say No to Tokenized Stocks
Nine issuers, including Verizon, Broadcom, UnitedHealth and CoreWeave, have objected to their shares trading on OKXICE, the tokenized stock venue run by OKX and ICE, which had planned to list 63 companies. The nine make up 14% of that planned roster, and the notice does not say why they objected or whether they will be kept off the venue. OKXICE trades around the clock through Uniswap v4 pools on OKX’s XLayer chain, settled in USDC and USDT, but it is not registered with the SEC and is not subject to Regulation NMS, which requires investors to receive the best displayed price. Nasdaq is also opting its own shares out, citing the lack of real-time best prices and consolidated tape reporting. The article says Robinhood, Kraken and Backed Finance are also affected by the objections.
- Why Some of America's Biggest Companies Are Objecting to Tokenized Shares
Nine issuers, including Verizon, Broadcom and UnitedHealth Group, have objected to their shares being offered on OKXICE TSV, the planned 24/7 tokenized stock venue from OKX and NYSE owner ICE, according to an Oct. 15 public notice. Other objectors include Cerebras Systems, AppLovin, CoreWeave and Rocket Lab. The notice does not give reasons or say whether the objections will keep these stocks off the platform. Nasdaq, which is not among the objectors, said it would opt its own shares out of the SEC's innovation exemption over concerns about real-time pricing and trade reporting. The notice also warns that OKXICE is not registered with the SEC, is not subject to Regulation NMS, and can have its smart contracts upgraded without advance notice.
- Janus Henderson, Centrifuge launch tokenized Nasdaq-100 fund on Stellar
Asset manager Janus Henderson and tokenization platform Centrifuge launched JQQQ, a blockchain-based fund on Stellar tracking the Nasdaq-100 for eligible non-US investors with a $100,000 minimum investment. The fund gives indirect exposure through a segregated portfolio of a British Virgin Islands investment company rather than owning the underlying stocks. The launch extends Janus Henderson's onchain offerings beyond US Treasurys and structured credit into equity-index exposure, with institutional onchain strategies now exceeding $1 billion. Stellar holds about $3.8 billion in tokenized assets, ranking behind Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana, while its native token XLM has fallen about 16% year to date to near $0.17.
- Nasdaq's CEO Says Tokenized Money Is the Key to Unlocking Tens of Billions in Trapped Capital. Here's What That Means for Crypto Investors.
Speaking at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman said retail crypto is about 10 years ahead of traditional markets, and Nasdaq will begin trading U.S. stocks 23 hours a day, five days a week, on Dec. 6. She sees moving money in real time as the harder part, so the plan is to tokenize money (stablecoins) first, then collateral such as Treasuries, stocks and money market funds, which could free “tens and tens of billions of dollars” tied up in collateral pools. The GENIUS Act takes effect on Jan. 18, 2027, or 120 days after final rules are issued, whichever comes first, and no final rule arrived in time for the January date. Friedman doesn’t expect traditional finance to adopt the full crypto playbook, and the broader Clarity Act remains stalled after failing a Senate procedural vote in September. The article points to Circle, Visa and Nasdaq as firms controlling key infrastructure, with Nasdaq licensing its trading technology to 135 market operators and regulators.

- Nvidia's relationship with China just got even more complicated as report says Jensen Huang was target of spy plot
Nvidia has struggled to gain a foothold in China because of US Commerce Department export restrictions in place since 2022. The New York Times reported that US intelligence believes Alice Huang, a leader at Nvidia customer Megaspeed with a well-documented relationship with Jensen Huang, acted as an intelligence asset and passed information to China's governing party, raising questions about information leakage from Nvidia. In December 2025, the Trump administration allowed some H200 chip exports after a $5 million lobbying push during the year, but H200 sales made up less than 1% of Nvidia's $89 billion second-quarter data center revenue, as Beijing blocked Chinese buyers from purchasing Nvidia chips. Nvidia said its forward outlook includes no China data center compute revenue. The article also describes a black-market trade smuggling chips through Southeast Asia and Blackwell B300 chips being openly sold on Douyin at millions of US dollars per server.
- Big Oil earnings are set to surge. Why investors may want to be cautious
The article says earnings at ExxonMobil, Chevron, Marathon Petroleum and ConocoPhillips are set to rise sharply, with EPS for XOM, CVX and COP expected to more than double from a year earlier. Marathon Petroleum's EPS estimate is $25.37 per share, versus $4.51 a year ago, driven by higher oil prices and a large crack spread on refined products, with sales expected to rise by $13 billion in one year. The author argues that guidance and capital spending plans may matter more than the earnings figures themselves. Citing BTIG analyst Jonathan Krinsky, the article notes the S&P Refining Index has risen nearly 160% in 2026, its best year in at least three decades, and that he expects at least consolidation, with a significant downside reversion considered more likely.
- Okta vs. UiPath: Which Technology Stock Is a Better Buy in 2026?
The article compares Okta (OKTA) and UiPath (PATH), two software companies with different models: Okta provides identity and access management, while UiPath offers an automation platform. Okta reported FY 2026 revenue of nearly $2.9 billion, up about 11.8%, and net income of close to $235.0 million versus $28.0 million a year earlier; free cash flow was nearly $863.0 million, though stock-based compensation was roughly 61.5% of operating cash flow. UiPath posted revenue of roughly $1.6 billion, up about 12.7%, net income of nearly $282.3 million and free cash flow of approximately $352.2 million, with stock-based compensation at roughly 78.3% of operating cash flow. The piece outlines Okta's competition and cybersecurity risks and UiPath's reliance on a limited number of large customers, and the author leans toward Okta, citing growing demand for identity security.
- Microsoft (MSFT) Expands Copilot In Education, Is The AI Upside Already Priced In?
McGraw Hill launched a plugin for Microsoft 365 Copilot that ties Copilot use to higher education workflows and licensed digital course materials. Microsoft's share price return was 17.71% over 90 days and 57.03% over 3 years, while the 1-year total shareholder return was slightly down 1.14%. A Simply Wall St narrative puts fair value at $419.91, below the last close of $531.01, and suggests Copilot optimism and strong cloud results may already be heavily reflected in the stock. On the other side, the article cites return on equity of 30.2%, a net profit margin of 40.3%, and a valuation model showing the stock trading about 22.5% below its estimate of future cash flow value. It also notes the stock looks expensive against a peer P/E average of 24.8x and significant insider selling over the past three months.
- Can This Number Push Booking Holdings Stock Higher?
Booking's top Genius members (Levels 2 and 3) made up more than 30% of active customers and a high 50% share of room nights in the June quarter, both up from a year earlier. Direct room nights kept growing, with the direct share of consumer room nights in the mid-60% range, though pressure on unpaid search traffic continued and large language model traffic stayed well below 1% of room nights. Booking plans a $100 million investment in Vayo, a new company offering a personal travel agent, announced October 14, 2026. The stock (BKNG) fell 29.0% in the year to October 28, 2026, while the S&P 500 returned 14.0%. For the September quarter, management guided room nights up 3% to 5% and gross bookings and revenue up 4% to 6%, versus June-quarter gains of 9% and 8%.
- ServiceNow just can't seem to escape the SaaSpocalypse — even after strong Q3 AI growth
A panel discussed ServiceNow after its results, where free cash flow rose but remaining performance obligations (RPO) came in modestly below expectations, and the company itself forecasts RPO growth to slow in the fourth quarter. CFO Gina Mastrantonio said AI net new business grew 65% year over year, beating expectations, which allowed the company to raise its full-year AI target to 1.7 billion while delivering AI value without a large capex investment. Julia said the market is not yet convinced, citing concerns about AI reducing seat counts, while Mastrantonio said ServiceNow's blended pricing covers both seats and usage. The stock was down 25% that day, which the speakers noted was the fourth straight quarter shares fell after a report.
