This is the beginning of a major financial integration. Let’s boldly speculate on the follow-up of ICE investing in OKX. ◦ OKX chooses to go public on the New York Stock Exchange, stock ticker: OKX. ◦ With ICE’s support, OKX will obtain securities licenses in more countries/regions, allowing users to buy U.S. stocks directly on OKX. I’m not talking about ‘tokenized stocks,’ but actual U.S. stocks, with OKX’s front-end directly connected to ICE’s settlement system. ◦ ICE experiments with 24/7 trading of U.S. stocks through OKX. ◦ Users can participate in IPO subscriptions for U.S. stocks via OKX Jumpstart, similar to how Futu handles IPO subscriptions for Hong Kong stocks. There could be some combo features, like holding OKX company stocks to increase the chances of IPO allocation. ◦ For the on-chain parts of these businesses, X Layer will take over, making X Layer a true RWA chain. ◦ OKB will become even more useful than it is now. ◦ Users can collateralize assets like U.S. stocks, BTC, etc., to borrow stablecoins, buy Tesla stocks, or participate in on-chain activities. Traditional finance and DeFi merge here. ◦ The boundaries between USD and compliant stablecoins will become increasingly blurred. OKX Pay will support more diverse payment scenarios. For these ideas to become reality, it might take years and will depend on the support of relevant U.S. crypto legislation and policies. What other make-sense scenarios do you think could come to life? Feel free to share your thoughts. * I don’t hold OKB tokens, and the above is not investment advice—just brainstorming.
