The Jack Ma-Backed Ant Group’s enterprise arm reportedly connects more than $8.4 billion in China’s energy infrastructure to its blockchain platform, and experts say early adoptions are likely to be institutional rather than attracting retail investors.
ANT Digital Technologies monitors output and potential outages from China’s wind turbines and solar panels, and uploads real-time data to the Antchain blockchain platform. Bloomberg Report.
Fintech company has already completed funding for three clean energy projects Tokenized assetstotaling around 300 million yuan ($42 million).
The company is reportedly tracking 15 million new energy devices, including wind turbines and solar panels, and plans to list tokens in offshore decentralized exchanges to create more liquidity, but such a move has been subject to regulatory approval.
Musheer Ahmed, founder and MD of Finstep Asia, said Decryption He does not expect any major retail interest in energy infrastructure tokenization in the early stages.
“It tends to be like alternative investments, so we’ll probably see more professional and institutional investors who show significant interest in these projects,” he said.
“What’s important is the use of IoT devices that allow you to periodically relay the output and information of each device,” added Ahmed.
He added that data can be connected to the chain to provide information on the amount of energy being generated and updates to the health status of the assets/infrastructure itself.
“Each token acts as a carrier for parent rater claims regarding the cash flow of the asset,” said Rishabh Gupta, director of TD Group. Decryption. “When electricity is sold and costs are settled, net income is distributed to token holders along the fragmentary stock.”
Gupta explained “how each solar panel or turbine acts as a data node and generates measurements of the meter that Oracle relays in chains.”
“Validator sets allow or open permission or open before they are written to the blockchain,” he added. “Once recorded, the data is immutable and transparent, providing auditors, regulators and investors with a clear, tamper-proof view of production and payments.”
Tokenization Projects often face liquidity challenges in the secondary market, Ahmed said.
Still, beyond investment access, tokenization improves project efficiency by enabling “better tracking of data” and “smart contracts” for the implementation of various investment management factors.
