Tokenized uranium holders can now use xU3O8 as collateral to borrow stablecoins through a new integration with the Morpho lending protocol.

Metals.io announced that borrowing against xU3O8, the world’s first tokenized uranium, is officially live as of March 30, 2026. This launch, powered by the Morpho lending infrastructure and available on Oku, allows investors to access liquidity in USDC without selling their underlying physical uranium positions.

The integration enhances capital efficiency by bringing real-world assets ( RWAs) into the decentralized finance ( DeFi) ecosystem. The xU3O8 tokens represent digital ownership of physical uranium securely stored in a regulated depository operated by Cameco, one of the largest global uranium providers.

This development follows the increasing demand for nuclear energy driven by artificial intelligence (AI) data centers and low-carbon initiatives. By leveraging Morpho’s decentralized infrastructure, the platform offers users a way to put idle capital to work while maintaining exposure to a strategic commodity known for lower volatility than traditional crypto assets.
