Uranium.io，一個新的去中心化鈾交易市場現已上線

該平台建立在 Tezos (XTZ) 區塊鏈之上，使散戶投資者能夠交易實體鈾，這是以前為機構投資者保留的市場

A new decentralized marketplace for uranium trading has gone live, marking a significant shift in how this critical resource is accessed.

一個新的去中心化鈾交易市場已經上線，標誌著這項關鍵資源的取得方式發生了重大轉變。

Built on the Tezos (XTZ) blockchain, the platform will enable retail investors to trade physical uranium, a market that has previously been reserved for institutional investors due to high entry barriers, according to a press release shared with crypto.news.

根據 Crypto.news 分享的新聞稿稱，該平台建立在 Tezos (XTZ) 區塊鏈上，將使散戶投資者能夠交易實體鈾，該市場此前由於進入門檻較高而為機構投資者保留。

The platform comes in response to growing global demand for uranium, driven by increased adoption of nuclear energy to meet net-zero carbon goals. This demand has surged further, with tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon investing in nuclear power to sustain the energy needs of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

該平台是為了應對全球不斷增長的鈾需求，而這種需求是為了實現淨零碳目標而更多地採用核能所推動的。隨著微軟、谷歌和亞馬遜等科技巨頭投資核電來維持人工智慧基礎設施的能源需求，這種需求進一步激增。

However, until now, trading uranium has involved institutional-level transactions with minimum lot sizes and significant capital, rendering it inaccessible for retail participants.

然而，到目前為止，鈾交易涉及機構層級的交易，交易規模最小，資本充足，散戶參與者無法參與。

Tokenizing Uranium

鈾代幣化

This dynamic is being changed by Uranium.io through blockchain technology. The platform eliminates traditional over-the-counter processes and high minimum purchase thresholds by tokenizing physical uranium and using smart contracts. This opens the uranium market to smaller investors, allowing them to trade fractional amounts rather than committing millions to a single transaction.

Uranium.io 正在透過區塊鏈技術改變這種動態。該平台透過對實體鈾進行代幣化和使用智慧合約，消除了傳統的場外交易流程和較高的最低購買門檻。這向較小的投資者開放了鈾市場，允許他們進行小額交易，而不是在單筆交易中投入數百萬美元。

Physical uranium purchased via Uranium.io is procured by Curzon Uranium, a major uranium trading company, and securely stored by Cameco, a leading uranium depository provider, according to the press release.

據新聞稿稱，透過 Uranium.io 購買的實體鈾由主要鈾貿易公司 Curzon Uranium 採購，並由領先的鈾儲存提供商 Cameco 安全存放。

Moreover, transactions and custody transfers are automated through smart contracts, reducing the need for intermediaries and enhancing transparency and security.

此外，交易和託管轉移透過智慧合約實現自動化，減少了對中介機構的需求，並提高了透明度和安全性。

The platform operates as a decentralized application on Etherlink, a Tezos-powered Layer 2 blockchain. Users can connect their digital wallets, complete Know Your Customer verification, and trade U3O8, “yellowcake,” a critical material for nuclear fuel production. The dApp’s decentralized nature also minimizes counterparty risks often associated with traditional uranium trading.

該平台作為 Etherlink（Tezos 支援的第 2 層區塊鏈）上的去中心化應用程式運行。用戶可以連接他們的數位錢包，完成「了解你的客戶」驗證，並交易 U3O8（「黃餅」），這是核燃料生產的關鍵材料。 dApp 的去中心化性質也最大限度地降低了通常與傳統鈾交易相關的交易對手風險。

This development aligns with the broader trend of real-world asset tokenization. As reported, institutional trades in tokenized assets have grown to over $300 million in 2023, with firms like BlackRock also exploring blockchain for asset management.

這一發展符合現實世界資產代幣化的更廣泛趨勢。根據報道，到 2023 年，機構代幣化資產交易已成長至超過 3 億美元，貝萊德等公司也正在探索區塊鏈進行資產管理。
