A new decentralized marketplace called Uranium.io allows investors to trade physical uranium using blockchain technology.
Powered by Tezo blockchain, and supported by uranium trading company Curzon Uranium, and Archax, the first registered crypto exchange in the UK, the Uranium.io dApp enables users to directly access the uranium market.
As we have highlighted on The Oregon Group, nuclear energy is currently undergoing a second renaissance — and will need significant supply of uranium to power it; our recent report forecasts we’re at the start of a 10-year bull run.
However, as Tezos explains, traditionally, uranium trading is limited to large institutional investors who can afford the minimum lot sizes of 50,000 pounds, or US$4.2 million. It is also possible to gain exposure through funds, such as Sprott or Yellowcake, but these prices can diverge.
However, using the trading platform, smaller investors can bypass these market restictions by using tokenized uranium assets on blockchain.
According to Tezo, “Uranium.io shatters this barrier by introducing fractional ownership, enabling investors to participate with no minimum spend.”
The platform offers several advantages over traditional uranium trading methods:
- Fractional Ownership: investors can now purchase smaller amounts of uranium, making the market more accessible
- On-chain Transparency: blockchain technology ensures immutable records of ownership and automated trade settlements
- 24/7 Global Trading:tThe platform allows for continuous trading from anywhere in the world1.
Uranium.io’s launch aligns with the rapidly growing trend of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. McKinsey & Company estimate total tokenized market capitalization could reach around $2 trillion by 2030.
