A revised public notice dated Oct. 26 from the tokenized stock venue run by Intercontinental Exchange and OKX lists 26 companies that have objected to tokenized versions of their shares trading there, up from the 22 reported on Oct. 23. The newly listed names include IBM, IonQ, Oracle, Intel, Moderna, Cisco and Marvell Technology, none of which appeared in earlier coverage, and the notice gives no reason for any objection or launch date. The venue is operated by OKXICE LLC, which is not registered with the SEC for these activities, and trades through permissioned Uniswap v4 pools on XLayer that are open only to wallets holding a soulbound token (SBT). The notice flags risks including an SBT contract audited only internally, contract changes that take effect without a timelock, and uncertain investor protection for self-custodied tokens.

- Tokenized Stock Trading Has Been a Big Hit Overseas. So Why Are Some Publicly Traded Companies in America Objecting?
Robinhood has launched tokenized stock trading in over 120 countries this year but has not yet received U.S. approval. Tokenized stocks are blockchain tokens representing ownership of conventional shares that can be traded 24/7 across borders, yet holders lack voting rights and direct cash dividends because a custodian bank holds the underlying shares. Microsoft, Verizon and McDonald’s are among a growing list of large companies that have filed to bar tokenization of their shares, arguing platforms cannot issue synthetic versions without consent and that the practice compromises investor safety and corporate governance. In September, the SEC issued an “innovation exemption” letting qualifying platforms trade tokenized stocks in the U.S. for up to five years, but it requires equal rights for holders and gives companies 30 days to object. The article suggests Robinhood is unlikely to bring the feature to U.S. investors soon given nearly two dozen major objectors, though its overseas growth remains worth watching.
- Wells Fargo, Cisco, Intuit Among 6 More Companies Objecting to Tokenized Stocks
Six more companies, including Wells Fargo, Cisco, Marvell, Arm, Moderna and Intuit, have objected to trading their shares on OKXICE TSV, according to an Oct. 23 notice, bringing the total to 22, up from 16 on Oct. 19 and nine on Oct. 15. The notices do not explain the companies' reasons or the effect of an objection. The venue, a 50-50 joint venture of Intercontinental Exchange and OKX's U.S. holding company, plans to let approved users trade tokenized U.S. stocks 24/7, paired with stablecoins such as USDC, under the SEC's innovation exemption. The latest notice also flags risks, including no circuit breakers beyond trading halts, no policies on maximal extractable value, unsettled questions for broker-dealers on trade reporting and best execution, and smart contracts that can be upgraded without advance notice. Nasdaq has said it will opt its shares out of the exemption.
- Tokenized stock trading takes off overseas as Goldman, other U.S. companies object
Tokenized stock trading is growing fast overseas, according to Bitwise's latest quarterly report, with volume on Robinhood Chain rising from $526 million in July to $11.31 billion in September. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Alphabet and other large U.S. companies have objected to having their shares traded as tokens on the OKXICE venue, bringing the total number of objectors to 16 as of Wednesday. The debate centers on whether token holders should receive the same economic and voting rights as shareholders, and the SEC's new U.S. pathway requires issuers to be able to object. ClearStreet analyst Owen Lau said some companies may eventually embrace tokenization for a broader investor base and 24/7 trading, while an Injective executive argued that until issuers see clear benefits, growth will keep happening abroad.
- Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs Join Growing List of Companies Objecting to Tokenized Stocks
Seven more companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, Qualcomm, Caterpillar, McDonald's and Western Digital, have objected to their shares trading on OKXICE TSV, according to an updated notice dated Oct. 19. The total number of objecting issuers is now 16, up from nine in the Oct. 15 notice, and neither notice gives reasons. OKXICE TSV is a planned tokenized stock venue from OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, set to run 24/7 on Uniswap v4 pools on XLayer and settle trades in USDC and USDT. The updated notice also allows tokenized shares from the issuers themselves, not only third parties, and the venue will operate under the SEC's innovation exemption without being subject to Regulation NMS.
- OKX-ICE’s Andrew Cuomo calls issuer objections a ‘natural response’ to tokenized stock plans
OKX-ICE co-chair Andrew Cuomo called companies' objections to tokenized stock trading a “very natural response,” saying many firms would wait and see before participating. Sixteen companies have objected to having tokenized versions of their shares traded on the planned OKX-ICE venue, with seven newly disclosed objectors including Microsoft, Alphabet, Goldman Sachs, Qualcomm, Caterpillar, McDonald’s and Western Digital. The SEC's five-year “Innovation Exemption” allows limited trading tests with caps on the number of stocks and volume, while letting issuers decide whether to participate. Securitize and Vertalo executives said issuers need answers on pricing, investor protections, custody and shareholder rights, and that today's objections could later turn into acceptance as the infrastructure develops.
- Most tokenized stock trading on Solana, BNB Chain occurs outside US market hours
Tokenized equities have reached nearly $3.3 billion in value, up 15% over the past 30 days, according to RWA.xyz data. Most tokenized stock trading on major blockchains happens outside regular US market hours, with more than 70% of volume on BNB Chain, 63% on Solana and nearly 60% on Base, based on Blockworks data cited by The Kobeissi Letter. Jupiter, a major Solana-based platform, reported a 50% month-over-month increase in tokenized asset trading volume. The article links this trend to a new SEC “innovation exemption” that lets qualifying venues trade tokenized US-listed stocks on public blockchains and offer them domestically, provided they publish trade data in US dollars and disclose liquidity pool details.

- EU Gas Prices Hit 4-Year High
European wholesale gas prices topped 97 euros per megawatt-hour on October 26, the highest since December 2022, as EU gas storage was only 74.62% full on October 25. LNG flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain about 80% below pre-conflict levels following the US-Israeli war on Iran. Trading Economics forecasts 98.20 euros/MWh by the end of Q4 2026, while in the UK one-month gas futures rose 4%, and Brent is around 115 USD a barrel. EDF expects UK household energy bills to rise 27% in January 2027, lifting the average annual bill to nearly 2,200 pounds (2,940 USD). Berlin plans to ask households and businesses to contribute over 3 billion euros across 10 years to an emergency gas reserve, while the EU's Russian gas share fell from about 45% in 2021 to about 12% in 2025.
- Can Anthropic prove it can rival Big Tech? Its balance sheet says yes.
Host Ejaaz Ahamadeen of In the Loop says Anthropic's (ANTH.PVT) S-1 filing shows about $132 billion in cash, far from the near-zero balance rumored in recent months despite heavy compute spending. Around $19 billion of that is reportedly in investment-grade contracts, giving the company funds for large capital expenditure commitments. He compares that cash pile with those of Apple and of Google and Meta before they spent heavily on GPUs, saying Anthropic now plays in the same league. He notes that Anthropic lacks the revenue diversification of Google or Meta, making it a more precarious bet as an IPO candidate because it relies solely on AI.
- Anthropic's 'tension' between profitability & 'public good': IPO expert
Jim Neesen, managing partner of The Connor Group, tells Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi that Anthropic's (ANTH.PVT) IPO filing is unusual because it is a public benefit company. Seven founders hold 50.1% of the company, and a board approved by a trust fund will oversee it, with social benefit built into its mission alongside profit. He sees a group of founders making joint decisions as potentially positive, but says the structure will be tested at this scale and growth rate. He describes a tension between profitability, public good and the quarterly pressure from investors, and notes Anthropic has not yet published its total addressable market (TAM), though he expects it to be north of 10 trillion or 20 trillion, citing SpaceX's claim that AI is over 29 trillion.
- Our Model and Wall Street Agree on Amazon's Target. Now the Quarter Has to Deliver.
The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a $329.70 price target for Amazon, 31.68% above the $250.38 close, with a buy rating at 70% confidence, within 0.61% of the Wall Street consensus target of $331.72. Q3 results are due October 29 after the close, with guidance for $197–202 billion in sales and $22.5–26.5 billion in operating income, versus $17.4 billion a year earlier. Q2 revenue rose 19.6% to $200.61 billion and AWS grew 37% to $42.23 billion, yet shares sit about 12.8% below their 52-week high of $287.20. The bear case of $283.71 points to about $220 billion of 2026 capex, trailing free cash flow of -$7.6 billion and long-term debt of $119.1 billion, while the $378.96 bull case rests on an AWS backlog of $496 billion. The article says the thesis depends on Q3 operating income and AWS growth staying near the Q2 pace.

- The real source of tech market volatility is cash flow, not credit default swaps
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi argues that the main driver of volatility in tech stocks is collapsing free cash flow at hyperscalers, not credit default swaps, since that cash will be used to repay the debt they take on to fund AI infrastructure. Citing Evercore ISI's Julian Emanuel, he notes the hyperscaler group of Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and SpaceX is expected to have free cash flow near negative $200 billion over the next year. Meta posted negative free cash flow in its third quarter for the first time since 2012, while SpaceX burned about $9.9 billion, and neither company signaled a slowdown in spending. Similar commentary is expected from Google, Amazon and Microsoft when they report this week, which supports Emanuel's view of more quarters of negative free cash flow.
