Gold is a $13T market — but most of it sits idle.
Bitcoin built the “digital gold” narrative.
Now a new model is emerging: productive gold.
StreamEx introduces GLDY — a gold-backed digital security designed to modernize how gold works in capital markets.
Key fundamentals
• 1 GLDY = 1 fine troy ounce of physical gold
• 3.5% APY at launch
• Target up to 4% annualized yield
• Monthly yield distributions paid in gold
• Institutional custody and regulated fund structure
This is not another synthetic token.
GLDY connects the full institutional stack:
• Physical bullion backing
• Institutional custody via Anchorage Digital, Coinbase Prime, and tZERO
• Fund administration by ZEDRA
• Audit by EisnerAmper
• Proof-of-reserves powered by Chainlink
• On-chain settlement on Solana for high-speed liquidity
Why this matters
Gold is massive — but inefficient.
Problems with traditional gold markets:
• Storage costs
• ETF management fees
• No native yield
• Slow settlement
GLDY aims to solve this through productive gold leasing.
Gold exposure → institutional structure → on-chain liquidity → monthly yield in gold
The result:
A single instrument merging commodities with blockchain settlement.
The narratives shaping this market
• Bitcoin → digital gold thesis
• Litecoin → often called digital silver
• Stellar → global payment rails
• Polygon → real-world asset infrastructure
• Solana → high-speed liquidity layer
GLDY sits at the intersection of these themes:
• Real-world assets
• Institutional tokenization
• Yield-bearing commodities
If tokenized RWAs become a trillion-dollar sector, productive gold could become one of the biggest narratives to watch.
This is the direction StreamEx is building toward:
