ICE Brent And WTI Perpetual Futures Set To Go Live On OKX

OKX, a blockchain technology and trading company serving more than 120 million customers globally, and Intercontinental Exchange, one of the world’s leading providers of financial market technology and data powering global capital markets including the New York Stock Exchange, today announced plans for OKX to launch perpetual futures based on ICE’s Brent Crude and WTI Crude energy benchmarks.

The products are expected to be available to trade on OKX’s platform in jurisdictions where OKX is licensed to offer perpetual futures products. The new OKX contracts represent a major step forward in expanding regulated access to global commodity markets through digital asset infrastructure.

This first product collaboration between OKX and ICE comes after the companies established a strategic relationship in March 2026. ICE operates some of the world’s leading exchanges, clearing houses and market data services across energy, commodities, fixed income and equities markets.

ICE’s futures prices for Brent and WTI will underpin the new perpetual contracts offered on OKX’s platform. Brent Crude and WTI are among the world’s most widely referenced oil benchmarks.

Opening Retail Access To Global Energy Benchmarks

“Oil markets are critical to the world economy. ICE’s Brent and WTI futures markets provide the benchmark prices that energy traders everywhere rely on. Bringing them into regulated perpetual futures is exactly the kind of bridge between traditional and digital markets that market participants have been asking for,” said Haider Rafique, Global Managing Parter at OKX in a written statement. 

“This launch gives retail traders access to the world’s most important energy benchmarks in a regulated, transparent environment. That’s a meaningful step forward as we modernize money and markets,” he added.

By integrating globally recognized commodity benchmarks into regulated digital markets, OKX and ICE are establishing new pathways for users to access some of the world’s most important energy markets.

“These new OKX perpetual contracts, based on ICE’s deep, liquid, transparent, and global oil markets, allow OKX’s customer base of 120 million retail traders to access energy benchmark products,” said Trabue Bland, Senior Vice President, Futures Exchanges at ICE in a written statement. 

The launch comes at a time of accelerating interest in tokenized finance, regulated derivatives and real-world asset products globally. For OKX, the launch reflects the company’s broader strategy of expanding regulated infrastructure and building products designed for long-term participation in global financial markets. OKX continues to invest in licensed market expansion, institutional infrastructure and products that bridge digital assets with traditional financial markets.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market.
