Tokenized Uranium Lending Launches via Metals.io and Morpho Protocol
"The launch of xU3O8-based lending on the DeFi aggregator Oku allows investors to access liquidity in USDC without selling their underlying physical uranium positions, enhancing capital efficiency."
"xU3O8 tokens represent digital ownership of physical uranium securely stored in a regulated depository operated by Cameco, one of the largest global uranium providers."
"By leveraging Morpho's decentralized infrastructure, the platform offers users a way to put idle capital to work while maintaining exposure to a strategic commodity known for lower volatility than traditional crypto assets."
As of March 30, 2026, borrowing against xU3O8, the first tokenized uranium, is officially live. This service, powered by Morpho lending infrastructure, enables investors to access liquidity in USDC without selling their physical uranium. The integration enhances capital efficiency by incorporating real-world assets into the decentralized finance ecosystem. xU3O8 tokens represent digital ownership of uranium stored in a regulated depository by Cameco. This launch responds to rising nuclear energy demand driven by AI data centers and low-carbon initiatives.
