Ant Digital has already raised 300 million yuan ($42 million) for three clean energy projects through asset tokenization and plans to issue tokens tied to these projects, with potential listings on offshore decentralized exchanges pending regulatory approval.
Previous initiatives include connecting 9,000 charging units to AntChain via a 100 million yuan ($14 million) deal and tokenizing photovoltaic assets for GCL Energy Technology, raising over 200 million yuan ($28 million).
Asset tokenization allows companies to bypass traditional intermediaries, reduce costs, and broaden investor access.
Beyond energy, Ant is also exploring stablecoins, including a reported collaboration with Circle on USDC integration.
The real-world asset (RWA) market has surged in 2025, nearly doubling to $28.4 billion, with Ethereum holding a dominant 57% share.
