About Streamex
Streamex is a gold treasury and infrastructure company building the foundation for on-chain commodity markets. With a focus on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, Streamex is developing a vertically integrated platform that combines token issuance, trading infrastructure, and physical gold holdings positioning the Company to become one of Nasdaq’s largest public holders of gold bullion.
This strategic approach aligns with Streamex’s mission to reshape global finance by bringing the approximately $142 trillion global commodities market on chain. By merging the security and trust of physical gold with the efficiency and transparency of blockchain, Streamex is creating scalable financial infrastructure for a new era of digital commodities.
The Company plans to hold significant quantities of physical gold, securely vaulted through a top-tier bullion bank. Streamex will denominate the majority of its balance sheet in vaulted gold rather than fiat currency, supporting a long-term, value-based financial model. Combined with Streamex’s Solana-based blockchain infrastructure, this strategy enables a recurring revenue model that supports the issuance of gold-backed digital assets.
Streamex is a wholly owned subsidiary of BioSig Technologies, Inc.
