Streamex Is Making Digital Gold Accessible — and Now It’s Available in Your Brokerage Account
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 series of moves by Streamex Corp. (NASDAQ: STEX) is aimed at dissolving that trade-off entirely — and the latest landed on June 29, when the company announced that its gold-backed, tokenized yield-bearing security $GLDY can now be purchased through an ordinary brokerage account. The move brings Streamex another step closer to offering modern exposure to the $13 trillion global gold market — complete with yield, 24/7 trading, and digital self-custody.
A Trusted Broker Offers It Like Any Stock or Bond
The collaboration brings together three names from different corners of finance. Siebert Financial, a FINRA-member broker overseeing roughly $20 billion in client assets, handles distribution. tZERO, a regulated digital securities platform, serves as the custodian of the asset. And Streamex issues $GLDY to accredited investors.
 
The practical effect: 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
$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 jewelers, mints, and refiners. Because the yield arrives as more of the same asset, the holder’s quantity of digital gold increases over time — a compounding effect that most gold products simply don’t offer.
“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,” said Henry McPhie, Co-Founder & CEO of Streamex.
Step by Step, Streamex Keeps Opening Gold Up
The brokerage channel is the latest move in Streamex’s plan to bring digital gold and other tokenized commodities to the widest possible 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 step has opened the asset to a new category of buyer: first, direct buyers, then on-chain traders, and now wealth-management and institutional clients that a broker like Siebert serves.
Who Can Access It Today
$GLDY is a regulated security currently available to verified accredited investors. The brokerage channel broadens who can reach it within that framework — and Streamex says the doors keep widening.
What Comes Next: Gold for Everyone
The company is building a tokenization platform for real-world assets, starting with commodities, that anyone can access. Digital gold will be the first offering — tradeable across multiple decentralized exchanges, including Jupiter, Meteora, and Orca, allowing everyday investors to buy and trade from anywhere in the world via their phone or laptop. The retail version of $GLDY is expected to pay the same yield — up to roughly 3.5% per year — so everyday buyers benefit in exactly the same way as institutional holders.
The vision is simple: owning gold should be as straightforward as holding any mainstream asset, whether you come through a broker or through your own wallet.
Digital Gold vs. a Gold ETF or Physical Gold
Most gold holders pay for the privilege of owning it. Streamex flips that model:
Earn yield in gold, allowing your holdings to compound over time simply by holding. Trade your asset anytime, anywhere — 24/7, without market-hours restrictions. Hold your gold in self-custody, in a permissionless environment, with no broker required.
The Bigger Picture
Tokenized gold has been one of the fastest-growing categories in digital assets, with demand broadening from crypto-native traders to conventional investors seeking a hard-asset hedge that also generates returns. By distributing through a FINRA-member broker, custody on a regulated platform, and building toward an open retail product simultaneously, Streamex is positioning itself to serve both audiences at once.
The Solana ecosystem provides the rails: over 26 million active wallets on Solana during the week of June 22–29, 2026, and sharply rising on-chain RWA volume throughout the year. With Solana’s high-speed finality and near-zero fees, commodities can be genuinely democratized — and Streamex is building toward exactly that.
