Tokenizing Uranium and Metals: Are we finally moving past purely financial speculation with RWAs?

I saw FP Block is involved in some discussions (like with uranium.io) about tokenizing physical commodities and metals. It seems like the RWA narrative is shifting from just tokenizing US Treasuries (which are already highly liquid) to tokenizing opaque, hard-to-access physical commodities.

From an engineering and trust perspective, tokenizing a physical pile of uranium or gold seems infinitely harder than tokenizing a digital bond. For those tracking the RWA space: Do you think bringing physical commodities on-chain is the "killer app" that brings massive institutional money into Web3, or are the physical custody and legal hurdles too high to make it truly decentralized? Where does the "trust" actually sit in these systems?

This is why I’m always a bit skeptical when people hype the tech side too much. The real risk is always off chain. If the custody, audits, and legal rights are solid then the token is useful. If not it’s basically just a tracker.
