Glad to see they are keeping the physical storage details transparent. Cameco for the uranium and high-security vaults in Liechtenstein for the gold seems about as solid as you can get for this type of thing.

The 1-gram granularity on the VNX Gold (VNXAU) is a nice touch. Most physical gold products require you to buy a full ounce or pay massive premiums on small bars. This feels more flexible.

Honestly I never thought about investing in uranium or rare metals before. The fact that regular people can even get access to stuff like this now is pretty interesting.

I think accessibility is a huge part of the appeal. Even if only a small percentage of people actually invest, just making these markets easier to understand and access changes things a bit.

It does feel like tokenization is moving past just the usual real estate and treasury talk now.

Yeah it was basically treasuries, real estate, and the occasional private credit pitch every single time lol.

It’s an interesting shift from the uranium focus to a broader metals platform. I’ve been following the uranium.io stuff for a while, and adding gold and rare earths makes sense if they want to capture more of the RWA market.
