Latest reports have divulged that Ant Digital Technologies, the enterprise arm of Jack Ma-backed Ant Group, has anchored over 60 billion yuan; about $8.4 billion of energy infrastructure, including wind turbines, solar panels and charging units onto its AntChain blockchain.
Experts have aired that this is one of the most ambitious real-world applications of blockchain in China so far .
Turning Infrastructure Into Tokens, Capital and Transparency
Ant Digital Technologies has gone beyond tracking. By issuing asset-backed tokens, the company has raised around 300 million yuan (about US $42 million) for three clean energy projects.
This streamlined process bypasses traditional financial intermediaries such as loan officers and underwriters, allowing renewable energy projects to tap into investor capital directly through digital tokens representing fractional revenue or ownership.
Among the notable implementations, in August 2024, Ant Digital facilitated a 100 million yuan raise for Longshine Technology Group by tokenizing over 9,000 charging units on AntChain, and later helped secure 200 million yuan in funding for GCL Energy Technology through photovoltaic asset tokenization.
Executives are now looking to list these tokens on offshore exchanges pending regulatory approval.

Scaling the Vision: From Renewable Energy to RWA Tokenization
While energy asset tokenization is the main initiative, Ant Digital Technologies is still expanding its scope. In recent months, the company tokenized AI server assets for Aurora Optoelectronics on blockchain, using AntChain to capture on-chain operational data and ensure transparency.
Ant Digital Technologies is also building out its ecosystem infrastructure. A partnership with licensed institutional digital asset platform OSL will combine Ant’s blockchain capabilities with OSL’s regulatory and distribution infrastructure to create a full-stack solution for institutional-grade real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
From Sandbox to Standardization
As of August 2025, Ant Digital’s RWA platform (which was tested with new energy asset tokenization) was selected as a use case in the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Ensemble Sandbox, giving the project regulatory approval.
Bian Zhuoqun, VP of Ant Group and head of its blockchain business, said its asset-on-chain solution (“AntChain Inside”), its “Two Chains and One Bridge” architecture and Layer-2 blockchain Jovay, were designed to ensure trust, efficiency, security and compliance in RWA usage.
Hong Kong as Global Hub, Dubai on Radar
Ant Digital is seating itself as a bridge between Web2 and Web3, offering compliant, credible asset tokenization services to both audiences.
Its Hong Kong headquarters and collaboration with academic institutions show its commitment to innovation and regulation. Participation in global events like the Dubai RWA REAL UP Summit indicates its global strategy.
Meanwhile, Ant Group is pushing for stablecoin licensing in Hong Kong and Singapore and exploring yuan-based digital asset issuance to internationally extend Chinese financial infrastructure.
