Let me give you a quick intro to Intercontinental Exchange (ICE): It not only owns the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) but also controls global energy pricing (Brent Crude), soft commodity pricing (coffee/sugar/cotton), and the US Dollar Index. Now, through its investment in OKX, it’s trying to establish the same dominance in the digital asset space. Meanwhile, OKX has gained regulatory backing, connected to ICE’s global clearing network, and tokenized NYSE stocks.
