Streamex is making commodities easy to acquire and trade, and the latest step puts it in regular brokerage accounts.
Buying gold has long meant choosing between two inconveniences: take physical delivery and pay to store and insure it, or buy a fund and accept the fees and market-hours trading that come with it. A run of moves by Streamex Corp. (NASDAQ: STEX) is aimed at dissolving that trade-off, and the latest landed on June 29, when the company announced its gold-backed, tokenized yield-bearing security $GLDY can now be bought through an ordinary brokerage account. This brings Streamex another step closer to offering exposure with modern features & benefits to the $13 trillion global gold market, like yield, 24/7 markets and digital self-custody.
A trusted broker now offers it like any stock or bond.
The collaboration brings together three names from different corners of finance. Firstly, Siebert Financial, a FINRA-member broker that oversees roughly $20 billion in client assets, handles distribution. Secondly, tZERO, a regulated digital-securities platform, custodies the asset. Finally, Streamex issues $GLDY to accredited investors. The practical effect is that a Siebert broker can now offer yield bearing tokenized gold to a client in the same conversation as any stock or bond, with no crypto onboarding, no wallet and no blockchain knowledge required.
Your gold pays you in more gold, so what you own grows.
The client gets a holding that grows. $GLDY pays a yield of up to roughly 3.5% per year, distributed monthly and paid in additional gold, generated by lending the underlying metal to commercial users such as jewellers, mints and refiners. Because the yield arrives as more of the asset, the holder’s quantity of digital gold increases over time.
“Our goal has always been to make gold something everyone can own, easily, in whatever form suits them. Putting $GLDY into a brokerage account is a major step toward that, because it meets traditional investors exactly where they already are. It’s one of several moves we’re making to bring digital commodities to a global audience.” Henry McPhie, Co-Founder & CEO, Streamex
Step by step, Streamex keeps opening commodities up to more people.
This brokerage play is the latest step in Streamex’s plan to bring digital gold and other tokenized commodities to the wider market. $GLDY launched in February, soon began paying its monthly yield in additional gold, and in May gained round-the-clock secondary trading through the Solana decentralized exchange Orca. Each move has opened the asset to a new kind of buyer and improved accessibility for existing holders: first direct buyers, then on-chain traders, and now the wealth-management and institutional clients a broker like Siebert serves.
Right now it is for accredited investors. The doors keep widening.
It is worth being clear about today’s boundaries. $GLDY is a regulated security available to verified accredited investors. The brokerage channel broadens who can reach it within that 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?
- 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.
- Trade your asset anytime, anywhere.
- 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.
AboutStreamex
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.
