The Democratization of Uranium Investment
A new marketplace for trading uranium, powered by Tezos technology, has launched, addressing the rising global demand for nuclear energy as a means of decarbonization. Traditionally, the uranium market has been inaccessible to retail investors due to high minimum lot sizes, which often required transactions involving tens of thousands of pounds. The introduction of tokenized uranium now allows individuals to invest in physical uranium more easily, breaking down these barriers by offering lower pricing and eliminating the complexities of storage. This shift in accessibility opens the door for a broader range of investors to participate in the uranium trading market.
