Trilitech launched a new platform for trading tokenized uranium and metals that are critical for the development of the artificial intelligence industry.Update March 30, 1:20 p.m. UTC: This article has been updated to include a section on the wider tokenized commodities market.
Trilitech, a London-based development company focused on the Tezos ecosystem, launched Metals.io on Monday, a new platform for trading tokenized commodities including uranium and gold, according to an announcement shared with Cointelegraph. The platform expands a commodities push that Trilitech and the broader Tezos ecosystem began with Uranium.io, a retail-facing uranium marketplace launched in December 2024 on Etherlink, Tezos’ Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible layer 2. At launch, Metals.io is set to offer xU3O8 tokenized uranium, tokenized gold and Noemon Tech’s RARE token. Uranium.io describes xU3O8 as a tokenized physical uranium product, while RareTech materials describe RARE as a basket of strategic metals. According to the release, the launch responds to growing investor interest in strategic materials tied to industrial use and artificial intelligence-related infrastructure demand. That logic echoes the pitch behind Uranium.io’s 2024 debut, which Tezos framed around uranium’s role in powering nuclear energy and supporting rising electricity demand tied to AI.Metals.io aims to reduce the investment barriers to uranium trading, which was previously reserved for institutional investors. The new platform is built on the same underlying technology as uranium.io, “One of the founding principles behind the launch of that platform was to level the playing field by making a previously inaccessible critical asset widely available to all investors,” Ben Elvidge, head of commercial applications at Trilitech, told Cointelegraph. Elvidge said around 9,000 retail investors have acquired the tokenized uranium product since the platform’s launch.with the platform to let retail investors buy tokenized uranium via crypto or credit cards for as little as $10, a sharp decrease from the $4.2 million minimum over-the-counter market limit.to $7.7 billion in cumulative market capitalization on March 6, but retraced to $7 billion as of Monday, according to data fromJulio Moreno, head of research at analytics platform CryptoQuant, attributed the rising tokenized commodities demand to tariff-related uncertainty, higher interest rates and stronger safe-haven demand in a, an Ethereum Layer-2 for European banks and fintech to issue tokenized assets under Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation and Markets in Financial Instruments Directive .Can Robinhood or Kraken’s tokenized stocks ever be truly decentralized?
