TLDR
- World’s first live uranium spot pricing oracle launches on price.uranium.io, updating prices every 60 seconds
- The oracle addresses opacity in uranium markets by aggregating data from multiple sources including spot prices, uranium company stocks, and commodity funds
- Survey shows 97% of institutional investors would consider uranium allocation if access was simplified, but regulatory barriers limit participation
- Built on same infrastructure as Uranium.io’s xU3O8 tokenization platform launched in December 2024 on Etherlink blockchain
- API provides both real-time and historical pricing data for financial institutions, trading firms, and research organizations
Uranium.io has launched the world’s first near real-time uranium pricing oracle at price.uranium.io on September 16, 2025. The system updates every 60 seconds and represents the first comprehensive solution for live uranium price tracking.
The oracle addresses a long-standing problem in uranium markets where price discovery has been opaque and limited to over-the-counter transactions. Unlike other commodity markets with transparent pricing, uranium has operated through individual transactions and delayed reporting.
The system aggregates market data from multiple sources using advanced algorithms. It draws on current spot price feeds, valuations from uranium and nuclear sector assets, equities of uranium companies, and uranium-focused commodity funds.
Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, explained that price discovery for uranium happens across many economically related assets. The oracle injects this information back into the uranium market to improve liquidity and foster better price discovery.
Strong Institutional Interest Despite Limited Access
Recent survey data from the “Fuel the Future” report shows strong institutional appetite for uranium investment. The survey included responses from over 600 investors across the USA, UK, EU, and APAC regions.
The research found that 97% of institutional investors would consider allocating capital to uranium if access were simplified. Currently, 63% of institutions view uranium as a misunderstood or under-allocated commodity.
About 74% of surveyed institutions classify nuclear energy as ESG-compliant. Despite these positive views, actual institutional participation remains limited due to high barriers to entry.
Survey data reveals that 78% of investors cite regulatory clarity as critical to participation. Institutions identify operational complexity (24%), regulatory risk (22%), and lack of accessible vehicles (16%) as key deterrents.
The pricing oracle aims to address these infrastructure gaps by providing transparent and reliable pricing data that investors require. Crispin Clarke from Curzon Uranium said the oracle provides the near real-time data his firm needs to operate and advise clients.
Built on Institutional-Grade Infrastructure
The oracle runs on the same infrastructure that powers Uranium.io’s xU3O8 tokenization platform. This provides institutional-grade security and reliability standards for the pricing system.
The system offers both live and historical pricing data through API access. This enables integration with existing financial systems, trading platforms, and analytical tools.
Financial institutions, trading firms, and research organizations can access the price feed through flexible integration options. The API provides both near real-time streaming data and historical price archives.
Uranium.io launched in December 2024 on Etherlink, the EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollups. The platform is designed to facilitate access to uranium markets that have historically only been available to institutional investors.
The platform has support from Curzon Uranium, a uranium trading company that has traded more than $1 billion worth of uranium since its inception. Archax, the first registered crypto service provider in the UK, also backs the platform.
Physical U3O8 purchased through the platform is stored at a facility owned and operated by Cameco. Following the launch of xU3O8 tokens across major exchanges including KuCoin, MEXC, and Gate.com in July, the pricing oracle strengthens the infrastructure supporting tokenized uranium investment.
