Driven by a growing interest in digital currencies despite nationwide restrictions, Ant Digital, a subsidiary of the Chinese financial technology behemoth Ant Group, is reportedly venturing further into the cryptocurrency sphere. According to information gleaned from internet sources, the Jack Ma-founded entity is integrating a substantial portfolio of energy assets, estimated at $8.4 billion, into blockchain technology.

Specifically, reports indicate that Ant Digital has linked energy infrastructure valued at 60 billion yuan to its proprietary blockchain platform, AntChain. Furthermore, the company has plans to introduce tokens that will facilitate the trading of these energy assets, with potential listings on decentralized exchanges located outside of China under consideration. This strategic move aims to tokenize its energy assets, thereby enabling the company to attract investment through sales on international decentralized exchanges.

This ambitious project involves connecting real-time operational data from over 15 million pieces of renewable energy equipment, including wind turbines and solar panels, to the AntChain blockchain. To date, the company's three renewable energy projects have already generated 300 million yuan through tokenization efforts. Going forward, the focus will be on issuing tokens representing ownership of these assets. As early as last year, Ant Digital forged partnerships with Longshine Tech and GCL Energy Technology to tokenize both electric vehicle charging stations and solar energy assets.
