Streamex is making

Florida, United States, July 1st, 2026, Chainwire

Streamex makes it simple for users to acquire and trade commodities, which sets it apart from standard brokerage accounts.

Buying gold has always come down to taking two inconvenient paths: you can either take physical gold and pay to store and insure it, or buy a fund that charges you fees and forces you to deal with market-hours trading.

Streamex Corp. (NASDAQ: STEX) has taken steps to dissolve that trade-off. With the latest update on June 29, the company has announced that users can buy its gold-backed, tokenized yield-bearing security $GLDY using an ordinary brokerage account.

Thanks to this, Streamex is one step closer to modernizing the $13 trillion global gold market with features like yield, 24/7 markets and digital self-custody.

A trusted broker now offers it like any stock or bond

Streamex’s latest service is the result of a collaboration that brings together three names from different corners of finance.

First is Siebert Financial, a FINRA-member broker that watches over roughly $20 billion in client assets, which is responsible for handling distribution.

tZERO, a regulated digital-securities platform, is the second member responsible for custodying the asset. As the final member, Streamex is the one issuing $GLDY to accredited investors.

The result of this collaboration is that a Siebert broker will now be able to offer yield bearing tokenized gold to a client in the same way as any stock or bond. There will be no need for crypto onboarding, or wallet integration and blockchain knowledge.

Your gold pays you in more gold, so what you own grows.

With Streamex’s accessible services, clients get access to a holding that grows with time thanks to $GLDY paying a yield of up to roughly 3.5% per year.

The yield will be distributed monthly and paid in additional gold. Underlying metal to commercial users such as jewellers, mints and refiners are the ones responsible for generating that yield. This way, the yield arrives as an asset, and the holder’s quantity of digital gold grows over time.

Talking about how the mission of the platform is gold accessibility, Henry McPhie, Co-Founder & CEO, said that putting $GLDY into a brokerage account is a  way to boost users’ access to gold.

He added that the reason is this approach meets traditional investors exactly where they already are.

Step by step, Streamex keeps opening commodities up to more people

With this brokerage play, Streamex has taken another step to bring digital gold and other tokenized commodities to the wider market. Soon after its launch in February, $GLDY began paying its monthly yield in additional gold. In May, the token became available to people through Solana’s decentralized exchange Orca.

With each step, the platform has made gold accessible to different kinds of buyers. It became accessible to direct buyers during launch, and through DEX, it became accessible to on-chain traders. And now, institutional clients that a broker like Siebert serves can access the asset.

Right now it is for accredited investors. The doors keep widening.

For now, it is important to know that $GLDY is only available as a regulated security to verified accredited investors. Thanks to the brokerage channel, this accessibility has expanded to all those who can reach this framework.

Soon anyone could buy yield-paying gold, through a broker or their own wallet.

That fuller opening is what Streamex says comes next. The company is building a tokenization platform for real-world assets, beginning with commodities, which anyone can access. Digital gold will be the first offering in its range of accessible commodities. This retail-focused digital gold will be able to trade across a number of decentralized exchanges (likely Jupiter, Meteora and Orca) allowing everyday investors to trade the commodity from anywhere in the world via their mobile phone or laptop. The retail version of $GLDY is also expected to pay the same yield, up to roughly 3.5% a year, so everyday buyers benefit the same way. The vision is one where owning gold is as simple as holding any mainstream asset, whether someone comes through a broker or through their own wallet.

What are the benefits of digital gold vs buying a gold ETF or physical gold?

  1. Most gold holders pay for the privilege. Streamex allows you to earn yield (in gold) instead, allowing investors to stack their asset over time by simply holding.
  2. Trade your asset anytime, anywhere.
  3. Trade your self-custodial asset in a permissionless manner with no broker required.

Gold is having a moment, and Streamex is building for both Wall Street and crypto users.

The market context gives the strategy room to run. Tokenized gold has been one of the fastest-growing categories in digital assets, and demand has broadened from crypto-native traders toward more conventional investors looking for a hard-asset hedge that can also generate a return. By distributing through a FINRA-member broker, custodying on a regulated platform, and building toward an open retail product at the same time, Streamex is trying to meet both audiences at once. There were over 26million active wallets on Solana last week

(22nd-29th June 2026 – https://tokenterminal.com/explorer/projects/solana/metrics/active-addresses-monthly) and Solana RWA volume has increased sharply in 2026 (https://defillama.com/rwa/chain/solana)  so far due to newly available products and platforms.  Solana users already benefit from incredibly high speed trade finalisations with very low fees, so by bringing gold to the masses with Solana rails, commodities can be truly democratized.

About Streamex

Holding Streamex’s digital gold allows you to stack more gold, and soon almost anyone can buy it.

For investors, the through-line is accessibility. A year ago, a yield-bearing, blockchain-based gold product was a niche instrument for a small group. As of June 29 it sits, for eligible clients, alongside stocks and bonds at a mainstream broker, and Streamex says the next step is to make a version of it reachable by almost anyone.
