OKXICE's plan to tokenize U.S. stocks has encountered significant resistance, with nearly 70% of the companies initially selected for the project objecting to the initiative. This information comes from The Cryptonomist and is corroborated by Coinfomania.

The objections have been lodged by a diverse group of companies, including major firms such as Nvidia, Costco, Nike, and Micron Technology. According to The Cryptonomist, the total number of objecting companies has reached 50 as the response window for issuers approaches its end.

While The Cryptonomist focuses on the opposition to the tokenization plan, Coinfomania highlights an alternative trend in the market. The outlet reports that tokenized stocks on platforms like PendleLoop could offer investors cost savings of up to 70%, suggesting a potential shift towards more cost-efficient trading options.

The development comes amid a broader market context where the total crypto market cap stands at $2.65 trillion, with Bitcoin experiencing a 24-hour decline of 1.25%. The Fear & Greed Index is at 26, indicating a 'Fear' sentiment in the market.

The Base protocol's Total Value Locked (TVL) remains stable at $2.83 billion, according to DeFiLlama, suggesting that while some sectors of the crypto market are facing challenges, others are maintaining their positions.
