According to official sources, OKX founder and CEO Stephen Star stated that Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) has completed its investment in OKX and will join the company's board of directors. ICE owns the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and a global derivatives and clearing platform, and this collaboration reflects the shared consensus that digital asset technology will play a long-term role in future financial markets. Star pointed out that OKX plans to provide its more than 120 million global users with access to the ICE US futures market and the NYSE tokenized stock market, exploring the integration of traditional financial markets and digital asset infrastructure within a compliant framework. Star also stated that as blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies drive structural changes in financial markets, the two parties will collaborate on tokenized securities and the digitization of traditional assets, exploring more efficient and transparent next-generation financial infrastructure models.
