World's First Live Uranium Spot Pricing Oracle Launches on Uranium.io

The world’s first near real-time uranium pricing oracle has launched on price.uranium.io. The proprietary price feed aggregates market data from multiple market sources and uses advanced algorithms to deliver near real-time spot uranium pricing estimates that reflect market trends. The launch addresses a critical gap in the uranium market, where price discovery has traditionally been opaque and limited to over-the-counter transactions. Unlike other commodity markets with transparent, near real-time pricing, uranium has operated through individual transactions and delayed reporting, creating inefficiencies for investors and financial institutions seeking accurate market data.

The uranium.io spot pricing oracle represents the first comprehensive solution for near real-time uranium price tracking. The system updates every 60 seconds and takes a holistic approach to price calculation by ingesting market data from a wide range of assets that directly or indirectly reflect changes in the uranium spot price.

Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, said, “Price discovery for uranium isn't just happening in the uranium spot markets but across a wide array of economically related assets. The oracle starts a virtuous circle by injecting this information back into the uranium market, which in turn can improve its liquidity and foster better price discovery in the spot market.”

The oracle draws on a range of data sources, including current spot price feeds, valuations from uranium and nuclear sector assets, equities of uranium companies, and uranium-focused commodity funds, along with other relevant asset class data. This comprehensive approach ensures the price feed accurately reflects the complex dynamics driving uranium valuations.

The launch comes at a time of unprecedented interest in uranium markets. Recent survey data from the "Fuel the Future" report, based on responses from over 600 investors across the USA, UK, EU, and APAC, reveals strong institutional appetite despite limited current participation. 97% institutional investors would consider allocating capital to uranium if access were simplified. The research found that 63% of institutions view uranium as a misunderstood or under-allocated commodity, with 74% classifying nuclear energy as ESG-compliant. Despite strong fundamentals, institutional participation remains limited due to high barriers to entry. Survey data reveals that 78% of investors cite regulatory clarity as critical to participation, while institutions identify operational complexity (24%), regulatory risk (22%), and lack of accessible vehicles (16%) as key deterrents. The oracle addresses these infrastructure gaps by providing the transparent, reliable pricing data that investors require.

Built on the same infrastructure that powers Uranium.io's xU3O8 tokenization platform, the oracle benefits from institutional-grade security and reliability standards. The system offers both live and historical pricing data through API access, enabling seamless integration with existing financial systems, trading platforms, and analytical tools. Financial institutions, trading firms, research organizations, and other market participants can access the price feed through flexible integration options. The API provides both near real-time streaming data and historical price archives, supporting various use cases from portfolio management to market research and risk assessment.

"For years, we've had to piece together uranium pricing from fragmented sources and delayed reports," said Crispin Clarke from Curzon Uranium. "This oracle finally gives us the near real-time data we need. It's a game-changer for how we operate and advise our clients."

Launched in December 2024  on Etherlink, the EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollups, uranium.io is purpose-built to facilitate access to uranium, a market that has historically only been accessible to institutional investors. The platform is supported by Curzon Uranium, a world-renowned uranium trading company that has traded more than $1 billion worth of uranium since its inception, and Archax, the first registered crypto service provider in the UK. Physical U3O8 purchased via the dedicated decentralized app is stored at a facility owned and operated by Cameco. Following the successful launch of xU3O8 tokens across major exchanges, including KuCoin, MEXC, and Gate.com in July, the pricing oracle further strengthens the infrastructure supporting tokenized uranium investment.
