Uranium Market Reacts to Uranium.io’s Launch of Live Price Oracle

Uranium.io Launches Real-Time Price Oracle, Transforming Uranium Market Transparency

Uranium.io, the blockchain platform that tokenizes physical uranium, has unveiled a near-real-time pricing oracle, aiming to address long-standing transparency issues in the uranium market.

Traditionally, uranium pricing relies on private over-the-counter deals, leaving investors in the dark. Uranium.io’s oracle aggregates data from spot price feeds, uranium ETFs, mining stocks, and other market sources, updating spot price estimates every 60 seconds to provide a near-live view of uranium’s market value.

“Uranium trades privately, but its value is constantly reflected in related public markets,” said Ben Elvidge, Product Lead at Uranium.io. “Our oracle uses statistical modeling to convert these signals into a reliable near-real-time uranium price, similar to benchmarks in other commodities.”

Opening Uranium Access to Investors
The platform enables both retail and institutional investors to own fractional shares of physical uranium (U₃O₈, or “yellowcake”), securely stored at Cameco’s regulated facilities. Each xU308 token is backed by verified uranium and recorded on the Tezos blockchain, making the market more transparent and accessible.

Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, highlighted the broader market impact: “By injecting accurate pricing data, the oracle can improve liquidity and foster better price discovery in uranium markets, benefiting the entire ecosystem.”

Uranium ETFs Outperforming Bitcoin
Financial instruments tied to uranium have seen strong returns. The Global Uranium ETF (URA) has surged 71% year-to-date, far outperforming Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock’s IBIT, which gained 27%. Uranium’s critical role in nuclear energy and clean power generation continues to drive investor interest.

With its pricing oracle and tokenization framework, Uranium.io is setting a new benchmark for efficiency and transparency in a market long dominated by large institutions.
