WINTER PARK, Fla., Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Streamex Corp. ("Streamex" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: STEX), a technology company building the future of the commodity markets through tokenization, today announced the appointment of Laura Kiernan, CPA, IRC, as Head of Investor Relations, effective September 2026. Ms. Kiernan will lead the Company's investor relations strategy and serve as its primary voice to institutional and retail investors, analysts, and shareholders, reporting to Chief Executive Officer Henry McPhie.
Ms. Kiernan brings more than 30 years of investor relations and capital markets experience advising Fortune 500, Russell 2000, and high-growth public and private companies, executive teams, and Boards. At Streamex, she will build the Company's investor relations function from the ground up, spanning investor targeting and outreach, analyst and retail engagement, earnings and shareholder communications, and market intelligence for the executive team.
Henry McPhie, Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Streamex, stated:
"Laura is one of the most respected investor relations professionals in the market, and her decision to join Streamex says something about where this Company is headed. We believe we are at a pivotal moment, not only for Streamex but for the wider tokenization ecosystem. Having the team and the technology in place will enable us to gain real traction in building a scalable platform for real-world assets. We have spent two quarters removing every reason an institution could not participate in GLDY, our gold-with-yield token, and the STEX equity story now has to reach the market with the same rigor we brought to the platform itself. Laura understands both the numbers and the narrative and brings the credibility of a top-ranked IRO, exactly what we need."
Laura Kiernan, Head of Investor Relations at Streamex, added:
"Tokenization of real-world assets is one of the most consequential structural shifts in the capital markets today, and Streamex has built the on-chain custody, attestation and distribution infrastructure institutions require. My focus is on closing the gap between the value Streamex is building and the value the market currently reflects, by translating that work into a clear investment thesis and durable relationships with long-term shareholders and analysts."
