Ant Group Unit Tokenizes $8.4B Energy Assets on Blockchain in China’s Largest Real-World Deployment

Ant Digital Technologies, the enterprise blockchain arm of Jack Ma's fintech empire, has anchored over 60 billion yuan ($8.4 billion) of energy infrastructure to its AntChain platform. The system now monitors 15 million devices—from wind turbines to solar panels—creating an Immutable ledger for power output and grid disruptions.

Beyond tracking, the company has pioneered asset tokenization in China's energy sector. Three clean energy projects have already raised 300 million yuan ($42 million) through blockchain-based fractional ownership tokens. This eliminates traditional financial intermediaries, allowing operators to sell digital securities directly to investors.

The MOVE represents China's most ambitious industrial blockchain deployment to date, merging physical infrastructure with decentralized finance mechanisms. Ant's solution demonstrates how tokenization can unlock liquidity for capital-intensive renewable energy projects while maintaining regulatory compliance.
