Streamex Corp. (STEX:NASDAQ) unveiled its 2026 roadmap during a corporate webinar, spotlighting the launch of GLDY, an institutional-grade gold token designed to offer up to 4% annualized yield. The company also detailed its expanded leadership team, strengthened capital position, and strategic investment in Empress Royalty Corp. as part of its real-world asset tokenization strategy. The event reviewed the company’s 2025 milestones and provided an overview of its strategic roadmap for 2026, including updates on the GLDY token launch. During the presentation, Co-Founder and CEO Henry McPhie and Co-Founder and Chairman Morgan Lekstrom stated, “With the launch of GLDY, we are not simply tokenizing gold; we’re fundamentally transforming how institutional investors can access yield-bearing precious metals.”
Among the key developments highlighted was the pre-sale of the GLDY token, an institutional-grade digital asset backed by physical gold designed to offer up to 4% annualized yield. Each token represents one fine troy ounce of gold bullion, and the company stated it would commit US$5 million as an anchor investment. GLDY was structured to be issued under Regulation D and made available only to accredited investors, with minimum subscriptions of US$200,000 for individuals and US$1 million for institutions. Streamex also disclosed a 9.9% equity stake in Empress Royalty Corp., aligning with its broader real-world asset tokenization strategy and signaling new institutional partnerships, including an exclusive three-year agreement with Monetary Metals and a letter of intent with Simplify Asset Management to integrate GLDY into ETF structures.
According to a December 30 report from DeFi News, total value locked in tokenized gold rose from about US$1 billion at the start of 2025 to over US$4 billion by year-end. The December 31 market update from Web3 Thoughts supported this view, noting that the broader RWA sector grew more than 220% in 2025, rising from US$5.5 billion to US$18.8 billion, with tokenized gold reaching over US$3.27 billion. Analysts highlighted Streamex’s position, with Siebert Capital Markets’ Brian Vieten initiating coverage with a Buy rating and a US$11.00 price target, forecasting up to US$3 billion in gold-backed token assets under management by 2027. Needham & Company’s John Todaro also started coverage with a Buy rating and a US$12.00 target, noting the GLDY token could scale from US$100 million to more than US$1 billion in assets under management by the end of 2026 and projecting US$20 million in revenue for 2026, US$140 million in 2027, and US$365 million in 2028, with a 60% net income margin by 2027. He described Streamex as a unique, laser-focused player in bringing gold on-chain.
Streamex’s strategic roadmap for 2026 and beyond centers on building a multi-asset tokenization platform for institutional investors and expanding beyond gold to include additional commodities. The technology stack is designed to tokenize RWAs with features such as fractional ownership, 24/7 trading, transparency, and instant settlement, with GLDY as the inaugural product. Future launches include silver with yield and tokenized royalty streams in 2026, followed by copper with yield and oil-and-gas tokens in 2027–2028, supported by partnerships with Monetary Metals and Chainlink for reserves proofs, CCIP, and price feeds. The company aims to generate revenue from tokenization, platform services, and trading within its RWA ecosystem.
