The biggest news in the industry today is undoubtedly the investment of ICE (Intercontinental Exchange), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, in @ OKX.
Besides the world's largest stock exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, ICE's business covers almost all major asset classes, including commodities (crude oil/gas), options, futures, stock indices, and credit derivatives. It can be said to be the most important financial infrastructure in the world.
Before investing in OKX, ICE had established futures platform Bakkt and prediction market Polymarket in the Crypto industry, and there were rumors of investing in payment company Moonpay.
2/For OKX, setting up headquarters in the United States (https://((x.com))/SeaBitcoin/status/1935617170429677914) by 2025, continuously obtaining licenses worldwide (https://((x.com))/SeaBitcoin/status/194202275121910464), and divesting and destroying OKB (https://(((x.com))/SeaBitcoin/status/195562578690979855) at the asset level are all firm moves forward on the path of compliance.
The significance of ICE's investment indicates that Crypto is no longer just a marginalized experimental product, but an important part of the mainstream financial landscape. The adoption of spot ETFs similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum will also have significant implications in ten years.
From an industry perspective, what excites me the most when I read the letter from @ Star_oKX is: 'In the future, issuers may be able to... issue securities directly to global investors,' allowing OKX's 120 million global users to participate. This is not just tokenizing stocks on the blockchain, but connecting stocks with blockchain from the bottom. This has great significance for the evolution of the global financial industry.
Congratulations to OKX's friends! @Cryptosis9_OKX @mia_okx @Haiteng_okx @Mercy_okx @Shea_OKX @Jiajia_OKX @jiena_okx @cherria_okx @okxchinese
