Streamex Launches Regulated Gold Token Platform Under SEC-FINRA Oversight

Streamex has launched a regulated gold token platform, marking a major shift in digital asset infrastructure. The platform, now operational under U.S. regulatory oversight, was made possible through a merger with BioSig Technologies (NASDAQ: BSGM) and the acquisition of a broker-dealer licensed by both the SEC and FINRA [1]. This move positions Streamex among a select few companies integrating public market access with full-scale digital asset infrastructure.

The platform enables the tokenization of gold bars, backed by physical vaults and represented as digital tokens on the blockchain for fractional ownership [2]. These tokens may be issued using ERC-20 standards or other protocols, with real-time Proof of Reserve integrations for transparency [3]. Streamex also complies with FINRA Rule 1017 by filing a Continuing Membership Application to formalize its digital asset lines of business.

A key regulatory milestone was achieved with the May 2025 withdrawal of the 2019 Joint Staff Statement by the SEC and FINRA, which previously restricted custody of crypto asset securities. Under new Staff FAQ guidance, Streamex can now hold crypto asset securities in “good control locations” such as banks or clearing agencies, removing the previous requirement for exclusive internal control of private keys [3]. The company also aligns its operations with net capital rules under Rule 15c3-1, treating bitcoin and ether as marketable assets with a 20% discount in line with commodity standards.

Streamex is preparing to meet NASDAQ Rule 5712 requirements for digital asset investment products, including maintaining at least 90% of assets under NASDAQ surveillance and adhering to governance and disclosure obligations [1]. While no specific products have yet been announced, the company anticipates future offerings will comply with these regulatory standards once approvals are granted.

The platform’s infrastructure is now fully operational, with key systems for cybersecurity, compliance, and audit controls deployed. Smart contract issuance and secondary market integration are underway, and the NASDAQ listing, secured through the BioSig merger, remains active under the BSGM ticker [2]. These developments underscore Streamex’s transition from a cardiac healthcare-focused company to a digital finance leader in tokenized hard assets.

The gold tokenization market is expanding rapidly, driven by demand for inflation hedging and increased financial transparency [1]. Streamex’s platform joins offerings from competitors like Paxos (PAXG), Instruxi, and Golteum, all leveraging decentralized oracles and cross-chain communication for secure, liquid tokenized gold products. With tokenized gold surpassing $1 billion in value by 2025, Streamex is positioned to play a key role in this growing market [1].

The integration of regulatory compliance with blockchain innovation highlights a broader trend in the financial sector. While regulatory oversight enhances trust and security, it also raises ongoing debates about the balance between compliance and decentralization in the Web3 ecosystem [3]. Streamex’s approach reflects a pragmatic strategy of navigating this landscape to ensure long-term viability and adoption of tokenized assets.
