インターコンチネンタル取引所（ICE）と暗号資産取引所OKXは金曜日、ブレント原油およびWTI原油の指標に連動する無期限先物契約を開始すると発表した。これらの商品は、ライセンスが認可されている地域のOKXユーザーが利用可能となる。
ニューヨーク証券取引所（NYSE）の親会社であるインターコンチネンタル取引所（ICE）と、暗号資産取引所OKXは、新契約を提供するために提携すると発表した。この無期限先物は、ICEが公表するブレント原油およびWTI（ウエスト・テキサス・インターミディエイト）原油の指標価格を使用する。同商品は、OKXが当該商品を取り扱うためのライセンスを保有している地域で提供され、1億2000万人のユーザーがこれらにアクセスできるようになる。
X上での初期の反応では、従来の原油市場と暗号資産の無期限先物を橋渡しすることへの期待が寄せられている。また、Hyperliquidなどの競合他社との競争を指摘する声や、24時間365日の取引が可能になることへの楽観的な見方も出ている。
