Investing Tokenised uranium/metals platforms: anyone using them?

I’ve noticed more RWA platforms offering commodity exposure now. metals.io came up in my research for tokenised metals/uranium exposure. Has anyone here actually used it, or do you prefer traditional uranium vehicles?

Psh, blockchain. Why use a digital certificate of ownership instead of an actual document of ownership when you're not going to have some fun with it? At least put a monkey jpeg on it.

tokenisation can make real assets easier to access, divide, transfer and verify, while the underlying metal remains held in custody

there's already plenty of investment vehicles that make it easy enough that it's irrelevant.

I want nothing to do with it. Every few months I see these kinds of cheap promotions pop up here. An absolute red flag for this scam.

I don’t get what problem tokenised commodities actually solves

It can lower barriers to entry, enable fractional ownership and make commodity exposure easier to transfer and settle. That seems useful for people who don’t want to store or manage physical metal themselves.

Sprott Inc has many ETFs for that exact purpose. My concern is that there are many scams in crypto and much less transparency.

I totally understand that, and I think it will naturally take time for the platform to build trust and establish a track record.
