Streamex Corp. (NASDAQ: STEX) has taken a significant step in democratizing gold ownership by making its yield-bearing, tokenized gold security, $GLDY, available through ordinary brokerage accounts. Announced on June 29, this move allows accredited investors to purchase $GLDY via Siebert Financial, a FINRA-member broker overseeing $20 billion in client assets, without needing crypto wallets or blockchain knowledge.
The collaboration involves tZERO, a regulated digital securities platform, which custodies the asset. $GLDY pays a yield of up to roughly 3.5% annually, distributed monthly in additional gold, sourced from lending the underlying metal to jewelers and refiners. This structure means holders see their gold quantity grow over time, bypassing the storage and insurance costs of physical gold or the fees and market-hours limitations of ETFs.
Streamex’s roadmap includes expanding access further. $GLDY launched in February, began paying monthly yields, and in May gained 24/7 secondary trading on Solana’s decentralized exchange Orca. Now, through Siebert, it reaches wealth-management and institutional clients. The company plans a retail-focused version that will trade on multiple Solana DEXs like Jupiter, Meteora, and Orca, bringing the same ~3.5% yield to everyday investors worldwide.
The news underscores the rapid growth of tokenized real-world assets, particularly on Solana, which saw over 26 million active wallets and a sharp increase in RWA volume in June 2026. By bridging traditional finance and blockchain, Streamex aims to make digital gold as straightforward as holding any mainstream asset.
