Metals.io has launched a new lending service allowing tokenized uranium holders to use xU3O8 as collateral to borrow stablecoins. As of March 30, 2026, investors can leverage the Morpho lending protocol to access liquidity in USDC without selling their physical uranium holdings. This integration, available on Oku, enhances capital efficiency by incorporating real-world assets into the decentralized finance ecosystem. The xU3O8 tokens represent digital ownership of physical uranium stored in a regulated depository operated by Cameco, a leading global uranium provider. This development aligns with the growing demand for nuclear energy, driven by AI data centers and low-carbon initiatives, offering a strategic commodity with lower volatility than traditional crypto assets.
