The new pools allow asset issuers to set eligibility requirements for who can hold or trade their tokens, creating a permissioned trading environment on permissionless infrastructure. The setup is designed for accredited and KYC verified investors, with compliance checks enforced at the token level rather than handled only through offchain processes.

Streamex, a Nasdaq listed company focused on tokenized commodity real world assets, is the first issuer to use the infrastructure. Its GLDY token, a gold backed, yield bearing tokenized security, will trade through the GLDY Pool on Orca.

The launch expands Orca’s role beyond standard decentralized exchange activity and into onchain capital markets infrastructure. Orca said its AMM infrastructure has processed more than $500 billion in cumulative trading volume since launching on Solana five years ago, with no reported smart contract exploits.

The system uses Solana’s Default Account State extension to initialize token accounts in a frozen state. Wallet holders must complete the issuer’s verification process before they can hold or transact the regulated asset. An onchain access control layer then syncs KYC and accreditation status from the issuer’s platform in real time, allowing eligibility to be continuously enforced.

The model addresses one of the main bottlenecks for tokenized securities: secondary market liquidity. Streamex said GLDY is offered under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D and is available only to verified accredited investors, while Orca’s permissioned pools provide a venue where eligible holders can seek 24/7 liquidity onchain.

The infrastructure could also extend beyond GLDY to other tokenized securities, including stocks, bonds, commodities, real estate, and royalties. For Orca, the launch positions its Solana based liquidity stack as a bridge between regulated asset issuance and decentralized market infrastructure.
