    Making Nuclear Markets Work Onchain | Alex Dolesky, Uranium Digital

    In today's episode Alex Dolesky, founder of Uranium Digital, explains why a commodity powering 10% of global electricity still trades through phone calls and decade-long contracts. After discovering he couldn't express a bullish view on uranium like other commodities, Alex set out to build the first institutional-grade spot market on Solana, bringing transparency and efficiency to one of the world's most archaic markets. Today's conversation explores uranium's critical role in powering AI data centers, why traditional institutions are finally embracing crypto infrastructure, and how modernizing markets could accelerate nuclear's renaissance.
