Uranium Tokens
Institutions with yellowcake at accredited conversion facilities can utilize Uranium Digital to tokenize their assets. Each token represents one pound of uranium, securely stored and auditable in real-time. Tokenization enables institutions to actively and seamlessly trade, gauge market liquidity through order books, and explore financial strategies such as lending and portfolio optimization, while eliminating storage-related costs.
Eligibility Check
Institutions must hold at least 20,000 pounds of uranium stored at an approved conversion facility (e.g., ConverDyn, Cameco, or Orano Cycle) to initiate token issuance. Assets must be fully verified and owned by the issuing institution.
Complete Onboarding
Before tokens are issued, institutions must complete onboarding, including KYB, trading account setup, authenticator activation, and linking a validated converter facility account matching Uranium Digital account KYB details.
Issuance Request
From the dashboard, institutions input the number of pounds to tokenize and select their approved converter account. The platform automatically calculates the token equivalent (1 lb = 1 U). All data is pre-verified for seamless execution.
Approval and Issuance
Upon confirmation, a book transfer of yellowcake is completed and the equivalent amount of Uranium Digital tokens are minted to the institution’s wallet. The equivalent amount of yellowcake is transferred from the institutions converter account to Uranium Digital's converter account. No issuance fee currently applies.

Issuance is the process through which eligible institutions convert their physical uranium holdings into Uranium tokens. This begins with a request submitted through the Uranium Digital dashboard. Once approved, the institution’s verified uranium is book-transferred to Uranium Digital’s converter account at an accredited storage facility. On the official settlement date, the corresponding amount is issued on-chain, with each token representing one-pound of uranium held in secure storage. Independent audits and Chainlink’s proof-of-reserve oracle provide real-time verification, ensuring that all circulating tokens remain fully backed by physical uranium.
Converting verified uranium holdings into digital assets allows institutions to eliminate storage costs, access liquidity through active markets, and trade smaller lot sizes than typically acceptable. Digitization also unlocks financial strategies such as lending, borrowing, and yield generation that are not easily available in traditional uranium markets. The process ensures transparency and security while giving institutions greater control and flexibility in managing assets and seamlessly integrating physical and digital markets.
To issue Uranium Digital tokens, institutions must hold at least 20,000 pounds of uranium at an accredited conversion facility and complete onboarding with Uranium Digital.
