  "account": "A coalition aimed at facilitating U.S. stock trading on the blockchain, led by former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, OKX, and the New York Stock Exchange, has encountered significant pushback. Despite initial intentions to permit 62 public companies' shares to be traded 24/7 on the platform, 54 companies have now objected. Among the latest objectors are tech giants Apple, Home Depot, and GE Vernova, who joined the list of dissenters on Wednesday. Earlier objectors include prominent firms such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Nvidia, JPMorgan Chase, and Walmart. Companies not aligned with OKXICE's initial list, like Wells Fargo, Nebius Group, Arm Holdings, Cerebras Systems, and Cigna Group, have also expressed objections. The initiative, originally permitted through a Securities and Exchange Commission exemption, does not require companies' consent before listing their tokenized shares, but they can object within 30 days. Critics, including Applied Optoelectronics, argue that the framework's potential impact on stock pricing, liquidity, and volatility remains unclear, and they express concerns about investor confusion regarding the offering's sponsorship.",
