Streamex rises 20% after unveiling $100 million gold token sale
Streamex Corp.’s shares rose by more than 20% on Monday after the company revealed a new gold-backed stablecoin, GLDY, which targets accredited and institutional investors.
According to the company, the GLDY token offers investors exposure to physical gold while generating an annualised yield of up to 4%, paid directly in ounces of gold.
Streamex has also committed $5 million of its own capital to the initial offering and said total issuance could reach $1 billion depending on market interest.
Based on the company’s statement, yield for GLDY holders will come from gold leasing agreements under a partnership with Monetary Metals.
Henry McPhie, co-founder and CEO of Streamex, said the project reflects a new way to view gold investment.
“The launch of GLDY represents a major evolution in how investors can access and benefit from physical gold. Now, instead of paying to hold gold, investors can get paid to hold gold,” McPhie stated.
Streamex emphasised that the product aims to provide “capital preservation, liquidity, and yield denominated in ounces” for institutional portfolios seeking stability and commodity diversification.
The development follows Streamex’s earlier collaboration with BioSig, which secured $1.1 billion in July to launch an onchain treasury business focused on gold-backed assets.
The move also aligns with a broader trend of crypto firms turning to gold for diversification.
In June, Tether purchased a 32% stake in Canada’s Elemental Altus Royalties, a gold royalty company, and has since explored additional partnerships across the gold supply chain.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
