Emergence of a New Uranium Marketplace

A new marketplace for trading uranium, powered by Tezos technology, is now live and aims to democratize access to uranium investments. As global energy demand increases, especially in the context of decarbonization, the need for uranium (U308) is rising significantly. Previously, retail investors faced high barriers to entry due to minimum lot sizes in traditional uranium trading, which limited their participation. The introduction of tokenized uranium allows individuals to invest in physical uranium at more accessible prices, eliminating the complexities of storage and opening the market to a broader audience.
