The parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, ICE, has partnered with OKX to jointly establish a cryptocurrency joint venture, OKXICE

According to Bloomberg, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), announced a joint venture with cryptocurrency trading platform OKX in the cryptocurrency field called OKXICE.

This collaboration marks a deep integration between traditional financial infrastructure giants and leading cryptocurrency trading platforms, seen by the market as an important signal of institutional capital further embracing crypto assets.

Currently, both parties have not disclosed the specific business scope and operational details of the joint venture. ICE previously operated the cryptocurrency futures platform Bakkt, and this collaboration with OKX may further strengthen its strategic layout in the digital asset field.

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will serve as co-chairman of the joint venture between Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and cryptocurrency exchange OKX, while Trabue Bland, Senior Vice President of ICE Futures Exchange, will serve as the other co-chairman. The joint venture plans to operate a U.S. registered broker-dealer and futures broker, subject to regulatory approval, to help OKX expand its U.S. customer base while allowing its overseas users to access ICE futures and the New York Stock Exchange's tokenized stock market.

Cuomo has served as a policy advisor to OKX since 2023 and previously assisted the company in responding to a federal investigation, with OKX pleading guilty in 2025 and paying over $504 million in fines. In March of this year, ICE invested $200 million in OKX, corresponding to a valuation of $25 billion, and obtained a seat on the OKX board.
