Hex Trust Expands Real-World Asset Infrastructure with Etherlink Integration
Hex Trust, a digital asset financial institution established in 2018, has announced its support for Etherlink, a high-performance Layer 2 network built on Tezos. This integration enables Hex Trust to offer licensed and compliant institutional custody for xU3O8, a tokenized uranium asset issued on Etherlink.
xU3O8 is backed by uranium trading firm Curzon and traded on regulated exchanges such as Archax. The integration, announced in August 2025, marks a significant step forward in the tokenization of commodities, combining blockchain innovation with regulated institutional custody to enhance market access, transparency, and security.
Giorgia Pellizzari, Head of Custody at Hex Trust, stated that tokenized commodities like uranium are gaining institutional interest. "This integration underscores our commitment to providing secure custody solutions for such assets, thereby expanding our real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure to include tokenized commodities like uranium," she said.
Ben Elvidge, Head of Commercial Applications at Trilitech, the R&D adoption hub working on the Tezos blockchain platform, expressed excitement about Hex Trust embracing xU3O8. "Uranium is a perfect fit for blockchain innovation," he said. "This collaboration further enhances accessibility and adoption of tokenized asset infrastructure."
xU3O8's website is uranium.io, and updates can be followed on LinkedIn, X, and Telegram. Etherlink, a non-custodial, EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain powered by Tezos Smart Rollups, is listed across multiple exchanges, making it one of the most accessible examples of on-chain commodity tokenization.
By supporting Etherlink and xU3O8, Hex Trust provides market participants with access to institutional-grade RWA infrastructure. With licenses in major global financial hubs including Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, and Italy, Hex Trust continues to reinforce its role in enabling institutional access to tokenized real-world assets.
