Ant Digital Technologies has tokenized energy infrastructure assets in China valued at over 60 billion yuan ($8.4 billion), signifying a new phase in financing renewable energy initiatives.
Ant Digital Technologies, a division of Ant Group, has tokenized upwards of 15 million renewable energy devices, including wind turbines and solar panels, on its own blockchain network, AntChain, as reported by Bloomberg.
The creation of tokens backed by tangible energy assets is being utilized to draw in financing. The firm secured approximately 300 million yuan for three green energy initiatives.

As per Bloomberg, the initiative commenced in August 2023, when Ant Digital obtained 100 million yuan from international banks for Longshine Technology Group by tokenizing over 9,000 electric vehicle charging stations. In December of the same year, the company assisted GCL Energy Technology Co. in acquiring more than 200 million yuan from foreign investors through the tokenization of its photovoltaic assets.
Tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) enables companies to circumvent conventional intermediaries such as brokers, banks, and asset managers, thereby lowering costs and accelerating capital acquisition. Concurrently, investors receive access to digital tokens that represent ownership interests or future earnings from the assets.
Ant Digital is contemplating listing the tokens on international decentralized exchanges to enhance liquidity. However, further progress is contingent on regulatory outcomes, especially in Hong Kong, where new regulations for stablecoin issuers have recently been implemented. The company is already engaged in the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s (HKMA) sandbox, which fosters the advancement of RWA projects.
In the meantime, mainland China continues to impose a total ban on cryptocurrency transactions, which constrains the company’s prospects. Analysts indicate that Ant Digital will need to navigate carefully, balancing the supportive policy landscape in Hong Kong with the stringent regulations in the PRC.
