With tokenized value on-chain topping $28 billion this week, Ant’s enterprise arm is preparing to contribute billions more through a bold experiment in energy infrastructure.

Turning Power Plants Into Digital Assets

Ant Digital Technologies, the solutions arm of Jack Ma’s fintech empire, has begun converting roughly $8.4 billion worth of energy assets into blockchain-based tokens. The initiative, run on its AntChain network, connects data from more than 15 million devices — ranging from solar panels and wind farms to charging units — and transforms that information into investable digital products.

The company has already dipped its toe into this model, quietly raising about $42 million across three pilot projects. Earlier efforts included tokenized fundraising for Longshine Technology and GCL Energy Technology, linking thousands of charging stations and photovoltaic units directly to AntChain.

Why It Matters

Tokenization offers an alternative to traditional financing channels, cutting out intermediaries such as loan officers or underwriters. It also creates opportunities for retail participation in markets that were once dominated by large institutions, potentially democratizing access to infrastructure investment.

For Ant, the long-term play could be even bigger. People close to the project told Bloomberg that the firm is exploring ways to list tokens tied to energy projects on offshore decentralized exchanges to boost liquidity. Whether regulators will allow that remains an open question.

Stablecoin Connections

The energy-tokenization plan isn’t Ant Group’s only blockchain experiment. Reports last summer suggested the company was working with Circle to integrate USDC into its network. Meanwhile, its global division, Ant International, has been developing stablecoin-based payment solutions and seeking licenses to expand cross-border settlement capabilities.

The Bigger Picture

The surge of interest in RWAs has made this one of the hottest areas of blockchain adoption in 2025. Private credit remains the largest category, followed by tokenized U.S. Treasurys, with Ethereum maintaining the lion’s share of the market at 57%. Ant’s pivot suggests that renewable energy could be the next frontier.

By digitizing billions in infrastructure, Ant Group is not only seeking to modernize China’s financial landscape but also positioning itself as a bridge between the country’s clean energy buildout and the global tokenization boom.
