Anchorage launches tokenized uranium custody service, expanding RWA footprint

TechFlow reports that on September 17, according to Cointelegraph, US federally chartered digital asset bank Anchorage Digital recently announced an expansion of its commodity trust services, officially launching institutional-grade custody services for tokenized uranium.

This update expands Anchorage's service scope from traditional precious metals (such as gold and silver) to a wider range of rare minerals and energy raw materials. Anchorage Digital will become one of the first US crypto banks to provide compliant custody for physical uranium assets (such as xU3O8), offering its clients new diversified asset allocation options for real-world asset (RWA) investments.

With the revival of the nuclear energy industry, global demand for uranium continues to grow. By integrating underlying blockchain technology, Anchorage Digital resolves the traditional pain points associated with bulk physical commodities, allowing institutional investors to securely hold and manage tokenized uranium positions through blockchain, thereby bridging the gap between traditional commodity markets and the Web3 financial ecosystem.
