Los Angeles, CA and Vancouver, BC, May 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioSig Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: BSGM) ("BioSig" or the “combined company”), which today acquired Streamex Exchange Corporation (“Streamex”) as its wholly owned subsidiary, announced the appointment of Mitch Williams, CFA, as Chief Investment Officer, significantly bolstering the combined company’s leadership team and advancing its mission to tokenize real world assets and bring commodity markets on-chain.

Key Highlights of the Appointment:

• Mr. Mitch Williams, former OppenheimerFunds and Wafra Inc. executive and Strategic Advisor to Streamex, will be appointed Chief Investment Officer of the combined company.
• Mr. Williams brings over 20 years of experience in capital markets, having held senior executive roles at OppenheimerFunds, and Wafra Inc.
• At Wafra Inc., Mr. Williams grew assets under by more than 3-fold and consistently delivered asymmetric returns with top-quartile performance over all rolling five-year periods.

• Mr. Williams will help lead Streamex in its strategic positioning within the US$142.851 trillion global commodity market, aiming to unlock new value by bringing commodities on-chain through secure and scalable real world asset tokenization solutions.

As CIO, Mitch will lead the combined company’s strategic vision and commodity tokenization initiatives, while overseeing key areas and reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer Henry McPhie.

Mitch commented, “As an early investor in Streamex and later a Strategic Advisor I have been consistently impressed with Henry, Morgan, and the team and the innovative platform they’ve built.  As a believer in disruptive technology, I see RWA tokenization as an incredibly scalable technology.  For me it is a leap forward in finding real world applications for blockchain- a technology whose value has only begun to be realized.  As an investor, I see Streamex as one of the few pathways for investors interested in both a hedge against fiat currency regimes and recurring revenue model.”
