This episode features Ben Elvidge, Head of Commercial Appliances at Trilitech, which runs https://uranium.io/en and is behind the xU3O8 token, which represents unenriched uranium, or "yellow cake".

This is a genuine use case of tokenisation, and a means by which retail can hold an otherwise remote asset.

Following a launch event alongside Figment and Crypto Collective detailing tokenisation, nuclear energy and the digital revolution, Matt Green and Ben Elvidge recorded this episode to consider:

- Uranium Oxide as an investible commodity, as opposed to the fuel for nuclear facilities

- Why uranium is being tokenised and whether there is an appetite for investment in uranium in retail, considering investment in small modular reactors, and Meta's investment in Illinois

- What "custody ready asset, with global pricing benchmarks" means in the context and what rights the xU3O8 token gives holders

- How to overcome KYC and AML compliance issues and prevent bad actors obtaining rights to uranium via the site

- How to think about this product and service, not as crypto but as a means to interact with a commodity, and how to rebrand uranium ownership

- The token itself, where to buy it and its pricing.
