The convergence of blockchain technology with real-world commodities is beginning to challenge long-held assumptions about who can access and trade strategically important assets. Uranium, once limited to large utilities and specialized traders because of regulatory and logistical barriers, is now being reimagined as a digitally native, globally accessible commodity.

In this episode of ATP, Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos and the visionary behind Uranium.io, reveals how tokenizing uranium is less about crypto experimentation and more about solving a long-standing market inefficiency. Uranium, one of the world’s most strategically important commodities, has historically been inaccessible to all but large industrial players.

Some of the topics that Arthur covered in detail include:

• Tokenizing uranium is not about crypto. It is a structural improvement to an inefficient market.
• Arthur believes that tokenizing uranium is about building a new, global market, with custody, global accessibility, interoperability, and 24/7 rails and that there is simply no better infrastructure layer than a public blockchain to accomplish this.
• When we spoke about blockchains in general, Arthur posited that transparency was never a feature; it was a constraint of early design.
• Most tokenized asset projects fail because they underestimate the legal fabric required to bind the digital and physical worlds.
• Interest in uranium is driven by three large macro factors, 1) an aging memory of past nuclear disasters, 2) climate pressures, 3) AI-driven energy demand.
