Analysis
The stock moved -7.3% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite the company emphasizing that GLDY’s 3.5% gold-based yield should not be affected by draft CLARITY provisions would fit a recent pattern where positive updates often met selling. With shares at the 52-week low and trading below the 200-day MA $3.84, some holders may have de-risked around regulatory headlines. Past divergences suggest sentiment has been fragile, so declines could reflect caution rather than a direct challenge to the product structure outlined.

stablecoinsfinancial
"The reports suggest that the new law could restrict holders of stablecoins"
Stablecoins are a type of digital currency designed to maintain a steady value, often linked to traditional currencies like the dollar or euro. They function like digital cash that offers the convenience of online transactions while avoiding the large price swings common with other cryptocurrencies. This stability makes them useful for investors and users who want a reliable way to store and transfer value without exposure to sudden market changes.
tokenized securityfinancial
"As a tokenized security, Streamex expects GLDY would fall outside the purview"
A tokenized security is a traditional financial asset—like a share, bond, or fund—represented by a digital token on a distributed ledger. Think of it as slicing a vehicle into many digital tickets that can be bought, sold, or programmed automatically; it matters to investors because it can enable smaller minimum investments, faster settlement, broader liquidity and round‑the‑clock trading, while also introducing new custody and regulatory considerations.
passive yieldfinancial
"could restrict holders of stablecoins from receiving “passive yield” from holding tokens"
Passive yield is the regular income a holding generates with little day-to-day work from the investor, such as interest from bonds, dividends from stocks, or rent from property. It matters because it can provide steady cash flow and reduce reliance on selling assets—like a fruit tree that keeps producing each season—helping investors plan income, smooth returns and assess trade-offs between income level and the risk of the underlying asset.
gold leasingfinancial
"its yield is derived from underlying economic activity, specifically gold leasing"
Gold leasing is when an owner of physical gold lends it to another party in exchange for a fee, with the expectation the same amount of metal will be returned later — think of it like renting out a valuable car for steady income while the owner retains long‑term ownership. For investors this matters because leasing changes how much gold is available to be sold or used in markets, which can lower or raise prices and affect returns on gold holdings and funds that track or store bullion.
asset-backed securitiesfinancial
"frameworks that differentiate between asset-backed securities and synthetic yield products"
A type of investment created by pooling many similar cash‑flowing assets — like mortgages, car loans, or credit card receivables — and selling slices of that bundle to investors who then receive the payments those assets generate. Think of it as a fruit basket where buyers earn the fruit sales: investors get steady income but also take on the risk that the underlying loans stop performing or are paid off early. Investors care because these securities can provide predictable yield, portfolio diversification, and varying levels of credit and liquidity risk depending on the quality of the underlying assets.
synthetic yield productsfinancial
"frameworks that differentiate between asset-backed securities and synthetic yield products"
Synthetic yield products are financial packages that use contracts and derivatives to mimic the income and returns of bonds or dividend-paying assets without actually owning those assets. For investors they can offer higher or tailored income like a customized loan, but matter because they introduce extra risks—counterparty reliability, hidden fees, and complexity—that can amplify losses or change the timing and certainty of the promised payments.
WINTER PARK, Fla., March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Streamex Corp. (“Streamex” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: STEX), offers the following comment on news reports concerning recent proposed changes to draft of the CLARITY Act. The reports suggest that the new law could restrict holders of stablecoins from receiving “passive yield” from holding tokens. If passed into law, Streamex would not expect such prohibitions to impact GLDY. As a tokenized security, Streamex expects GLDY would fall outside the purview of CLARITY.
Morgan Lekstrom, Executive Chairman noted: “We have designed GLDY to fit it within regulatory frameworks. While recent developments in Washington have been viewed as a headwind for stablecoin issuers and platforms that rely on yield programs, the implications for Streamex and GLDY are notably different. GLDY is structured as a security backed by real-world assets, and its yield is derived from underlying economic activity, specifically gold leasing, rather than passive balance-based rewards.”
As a tokenized security, holders of GLDY will be able to earn an annual 3.5% yield, paid in gold. GLDY’s yield would be unaffected by the proposed CLARITY changes, as reported. This positions Streamex favorably within the evolving regulatory landscape, as the Company’s model is designed to be compliant with traditional financial standards rather than replicating bank-like deposit products.
While the CLARITY Act remains in draft form and subject to change, Streamex believes that increased regulatory clarity, particularly frameworks that differentiate between asset-backed securities and synthetic yield products, will ultimately benefit compliant, institutionally structured offerings like GLDY, our Gold with Yield product.
