BioSig and Streamex Secure $1.1B to Tokenize Gold

BioSig and Streamex Secure $1.1B to Launch Tokenized Gold Venture

BioSig Technologies and Streamex have secured $1.1 billion in funding to support their pivot into tokenized gold markets. After signing a letter of intent to merge in early May, the companies now aim to create a gold-backed treasury business centered on blockchain-based financial instruments.

The financing includes $100 million in convertible debentures and $1 billion in equity, which will provide the capital needed to launch and scale the venture.

Despite this strategic development, BioSig’s stock dropped 27.4% on Tuesday. However, the share price still reflects a 541% gain over the past six months, showing strong long-term momentum.

Challenging the Tokenized Gold Giants

This new initiative places BioSig and Streamex in direct competition with Paxos Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT)—the dominant players in tokenized gold. These tokens are fully backed by physical gold stored in secure vaults and enjoy high liquidity.

According to CoinGecko:

• PAXG’s market cap stands at $926 million
• XAUT’s market cap is $814.5 million

Unlike Paxos or Tether, CEO Henry McPhie explained that the merged company will take a different approach. He said,

“We will use our own capital to acquire gold and gold-related assets, tokenize them, and inject liquidity into the market.”

In addition to this unique structure, the company plans to earn revenue from origination fees, tokenization fees, secondary trading, and spread income. It expects to launch its first tokenized gold product by early 2026.

Tokenized Commodities Still Gaining Ground

Although real-world asset (RWA) tokenization has emerged as a major trend in 2025, tokenized commodities remain a relatively small segment. However, their presence is growing steadily.

According to data from RWA.xyz:

• The tokenized commodities market cap is currently $1.62 billion
• This figure represents only 6.6% of the broader $24.5 billion RWA market

Notably, Paxos Gold and Tether Gold account for nearly 99% of all tokenized commodity value. Among eight tokenized metal products listed, six are gold-based, with the remaining tied to silver and platinum.

Furthermore, a Statista report projects that the global commodities market will hit $142.9 trillion in 2025. This projection shows the enormous growth potential for tokenized assets in the commodities space.
