Uranium.io Unveils Real-Time Pricing Oracle, Boosting Transparency in Uranium Markets
Uranium.io, the blockchain platform that tokenizes uranium, has launched a near-real-time pricing oracle designed to bring transparency and efficiency to the traditionally opaque uranium market.
Unlike commodities like gold, oil, or base metals, uranium pricing has historically relied on private over-the-counter deals, leaving market participants with limited visibility. Uranium.io’s oracle aggregates data from multiple sources—including spot price feeds, uranium ETFs, mining stocks, and related assets—updating spot price estimates every 60 seconds to reflect near-live market conditions.
“While uranium trades privately, its value is constantly reflected in public markets through ETFs, mining stocks, and specialized funds,” said Ben Elvidge, Head of Commercial Applications at Trilitech and Product Lead for Uranium.io. “Our oracle synthesizes these signals to provide a reliable near-real-time uranium price, similar to commodity benchmarks in other markets.”
Tokenized Uranium Opens Doors for Investors
The platform allows individual and institutional investors to trade fractional shares of physical uranium (U₃O₈, or “yellowcake”), stored at regulated facilities operated by Cameco, the world’s largest publicly traded uranium company. Verified uranium is registered on the Tezos blockchain and represented digitally via xU308 tokens, making the market more accessible and transparent.
Arthur Breitman, Tezos co-founder, emphasized the market impact: “The oracle introduces accurate pricing signals, enhancing liquidity and supporting better price discovery across the uranium ecosystem.”
Uranium ETFs Outperform Bitcoin
The interest in uranium is evident in financial instruments. The Global Uranium ETF (URA) has gained 71% this year, outpacing Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock’s IBIT, which is up 27%. Uranium’s role in clean energy and nuclear power continues to fuel demand, despite regulatory constraints limiting direct ownership.
Uranium.io’s pricing oracle and tokenization initiative are setting a new standard for transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in a market historically dominated by large institutions.
