BioSig Technologies has partnered with fintech firm Streamex to raise $1.1 billion for tokenizing physical gold bullion on the Solana blockchain. The joint initiative targets enhanced accessibility and liquidity in the Real World Assets (RWA) market by converting physical holdings into digital tokens.
Aiming to democratize gold ownership, the project will enable fractional investment opportunities and support 24/7 global trading. This approach seeks to broaden participation for both retail and institutional investors traditionally limited by physical gold’s entry barriers.
Solana was selected as the tokenization platform due to its high scalability and transaction speed capabilities. The blockchain’s performance attributes position it to handle seamless trading environments required for commodity-backed digital assets.
The move underscores the accelerating convergence between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi) through RWAs. While regulatory compliance and market adoption remain key challenges, successful implementation could establish a blueprint for future commodity tokenization projects.
Token holders will gain exposure to physical gold reserves, merging tangible asset security with blockchain efficiency in the expanding digital asset ecosystem.
