Ant Digital Links $8.4 Billion in Chinese Energy Assets to AntChain

Regulatory approval will determine whether tokens reach offshore exchanges.

Overview

  • Ant Group’s enterprise unit has recorded operational data from roughly 15 million wind, solar and charging devices on its AntChain blockchain, according to Bloomberg.
  • It has completed three clean-energy financings using tokenized assets, raising about 300 million yuan in total.
  • Earlier pilots included 100 million yuan for Longshine by linking more than 9,000 charging units and over 200 million yuan for GCL Energy via photovoltaic assets.
  • The firm is preparing to issue tokens tied to the on-chain assets and is considering offshore DEX listings to improve liquidity, with plans reported as contingent on regulatory clearance.
  • Experts say IoT meters and oracle-verified data can support auditable, pro‑rata cash‑flow tokens, while early participation is expected to be led by institutional investors.
