Uranium.io，一个新的去中心化铀交易市场现已上线

该平台建立在 Tezos (XTZ) 区块链之上，使散户投资者能够交易实物铀，这是以前为机构投资者保留的市场

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

一个新的去中心化铀交易市场已经上线，标志着这一关键资源的获取方式发生了重大转变。

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.

据 Crypto.news 分享的一份新闻稿称，该平台建立在 Tezos (XTZ) 区块链上，将使散户投资者能够交易实物铀，该市场此前由于进入门槛较高而为机构投资者保留。

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.

该平台是为了应对全球不断增长的铀需求，而这种需求是为了实现净零碳目标而更多地采用核能所推动的。随着微软、谷歌和亚马逊等科技巨头投资核电来维持人工智能基础设施的能源需求，这种需求进一步激增。

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，到目前为止，铀交易涉及机构级别的交易，交易规模最小，资本充足，散户参与者无法参与。

Tokenizing Uranium

铀代币化

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 正在通过区块链技术改变这种动态。该平台通过对实物铀进行代币化和使用智能合约，消除了传统的场外交易流程和较高的最低购买门槛。这向较小的投资者开放了铀市场，允许他们进行小额交易，而不是在单笔交易中投入数百万美元。

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.

据新闻稿称，通过 Uranium.io 购买的实物铀由主要铀贸易公司 Curzon Uranium 采购，并由领先的铀储存提供商 Cameco 安全存储。

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

此外，交易和托管转移通过智能合约实现自动化，减少了对中介机构的需求，并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.

该平台作为 Etherlink（Tezos 支持的第 2 层区块链）上的去中心化应用程序运行。用户可以连接他们的数字钱包，完成“了解你的客户”验证，并交易 U3O8（“黄饼”），这是核燃料生产的关键材料。 dApp 的去中心化性质也最大限度地降低了通常与传统铀交易相关的交易对手风险。

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.

这一发展符合现实世界资产代币化的更广泛趋势。据报道，到 2023 年，机构代币化资产交易已增长至超过 3 亿美元，贝莱德等公司也在探索区块链进行资产管理。
