2. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

Tokenized real-world assets represent a fast-growing intersection of traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure. Streamex Corp. (STEX:NASDAQ) has positioned itself at the forefront with GLDY, a gold-backed tokenized security that also generates yield.

Recent regulatory and institutional developments now allow accredited investors to access GLDY through established brokerage channels rather than specialized crypto platforms. This shift addresses long-standing barriers that have limited the adoption of tokenized products among mainstream wealth managers and institutions.

Why Streamex Stands Out in Tokenized Gold

Streamex differentiates itself by combining physical gold ownership with an active leasing program that produces additional gold returns. The company recently completed its third monthly yield distribution, confirming the operational reliability of the model for holders.

GLDY tokens represent non-voting shares in a special purpose vehicle holding allocated physical gold on a one-to-one basis with troy ounces. Leasing income flows back to token holders monthly in the form of extra GLDY units, creating a yield-bearing exposure that traditional gold holdings lack.

Partnership Expands Distribution Through Trusted Channels

A strategic collaboration with Siebert Financial Corp. and tZERO Group Inc. now lets Siebert brokers offer GLDY to existing clients during standard investment discussions, according to a June 29 release. No separate cryptocurrency wallet or onboarding process is required.

Clients can purchase and hold GLDY through tZERO's regulated digital securities platform using the same procedures applied to equities or fixed-income products. Siebert manages approximately US$20 billion in assets and serves a broad U.S. client base, providing meaningful scale for GLDY distribution.

Key Investor Takeaways

• GLDY delivers physical gold exposure plus up to 3.5% annualized yield paid in additional gold tokens through institutional leasing programs.
• The Siebert partnership removes technical barriers, allowing accredited investors to buy GLDY inside conventional brokerage accounts.
• Monthly yield distributions have been completed three times, with the latest covering May 2026 and confirming operational consistency.
• Strict KYC compliance and a regulated security structure align GLDY with institutional standards rather than retail stablecoin models.
• Market capitalization of tokenized gold has grown rapidly, yet fragmentation in custody and redemption terms still creates opportunities for standardized offerings.

Business Model and Yield Mechanics

Unlike non-yielding gold ETFs that charge management fees around 0.40%, GLDY generates returns by leasing allocated gold to commercial counterparties. Profits are distributed monthly as additional tokens, converting a static commodity holding into an income-producing asset.

Industry Timing and Tokenization Trends

Tokenized gold has expanded at roughly 2.6 times the rate of physical gold holdings, with total market capitalization surpassing US$5 billion in early 2026. Structural inefficiencies such as fragmented custody solutions and varying legal frameworks have nevertheless slowed broader institutional uptake.

Recent Federal Reserve policy shifts and resulting pressure on gold prices have highlighted the appeal of yield-generating alternatives, according to Crystal Kim of Investopedia on June 28. In this environment, products that combine price exposure with income become more attractive for portfolio construction.

Analyst Perspectives on GLDY

Market observers note that the Siebert integration fundamentally changes how tokenized gold reaches investors. According to a report by The Cryptonomist on June 29, the arrangement reduces tokenized investing to a standard conversation with a licensed broker.

Earlier analysis emphasized that GLDY solves multiple institutional pain points simultaneously: storage costs, insurance, lack of yield, and management fees associated with conventional gold vehicles. ¹In an analysis of the stock on February 11, John Newell of John Newell & Associates delved into these structural advantages.

Share Structure and Ownership Profile

²Insiders and management hold approximately 24% of shares, while institutions own about 26%, with the balance held by retail investors.

Market capitalization stands at US$145.66 million with 181.81 million shares outstanding. The stock has traded between US$0.70 and US$14.11 over the past 52 weeks.

Common Questions from Investors

Q: Who can purchase GLDY?
A: The token is available to accredited and institutional investors who meet KYC requirements through Siebert or Streamex platforms.

Q: How is the yield paid?
A: Monthly distributions of additional GLDY tokens are funded by gold leasing income, targeting an annualized rate of up to 3.5%.

Q: Does holding GLDY require a cryptocurrency wallet?
A: No. Purchases and custody occur through tZERO within a standard brokerage account at Siebert.

Q: What backs each GLDY token?
A: Each token corresponds to one troy ounce of allocated physical gold held in a regulated special purpose vehicle.

Streamex's approach illustrates how regulated tokenized securities can integrate into existing capital markets infrastructure. The combination of physical backing, yield generation, and conventional brokerage access provides retail and institutional investors with a distinct option for gold exposure. Continued execution on distribution partnerships and monthly distributions will determine longer-term adoption.
