Walmart and Eli Lilly joined 36 others objecting to tokenized shares.

Objecting costs nothing, while silence lets trading begin with no way to withdraw consent.

JPMorgan Chase also objected but said it will keep evaluating future participation.

Canton Strategic Holdings says its issuer-sponsored tokens could trade as soon as Monday, skipping the objection process.
