And now, for something completely different. The Italians, known for their love of fine wine, good food, and not-so-fine football, have decided to tokenize their solar panels. Yes, you heard that right. Tokenize. Because what’s more Italian than a bit of blockchain, eh?
Enel Group, an Italian green energy company that’s clearly been sipping too much espresso, has partnered with crypto wallet provider Conio to allow fractional ownership of solar panels through tokenization on the Algorand blockchain. Because who needs a whole solar panel when you can have a tiny piece of one, right?
On Jan. 21, Algorand Foundation chief marketing officer Marc Vanlerberghe announced this partnership, which will launch a solar-panel tokenization product in Italy. We’re not sure what’s more exciting, the prospect of owning a tiny piece of a solar panel or the fact that it’s on the Algorand blockchain. 🤔
The tokenized product will allow Italians to own a portion of Enel’s solar farms and use the generated power to offset the electricity usage of residential properties. Because who needs a garden when you can have a solar farm, eh?
Offsetting residential energy utilization through the tokenization of commercial solar grids (try saying that five times fast)
Enel will manage all the solar panels on behalf of the fractional owners and adjust the actual energy production to defray their electricity bills. Algorand Foundation CEO Staci Warden noted that the ability to offset electricity usage through the tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) “is not tied to where you live.” Because who needs a physical address when you can have a blockchain address, eh?
Warden explained the real-world use case of the product:
“You can live in a high-rise and offset with partial ownership of a solar panel in a field someplace else. So cool! There is just no end to the power of tokenized markets.”

Tokenization of Emirati assets (because who doesn’t love a good tokenization)
Amid the ongoing blockchain revolution, United Arab Emirates-based property development group Damac Group has signed a $1 billion agreement with Mantra, a blockchain built for tokenized RWAs, to enable token-based finance. Because who needs cash when you can have tokens, eh?
The partnership will allow Damac to leverage Mantra’s RWA-focused blockchain to tokenize its diverse portfolio, which includes real estate, hotels, resorts, manufacturing, capital markets, and fashion. The multibillion-dollar investment conglomerate’s partnership with Mantra will further the blockchain’s goal to become “the preferred ledger of record” for RWAs.
According to a CNBC report, US President Donald Trump recently announced that Emirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani, founder of Damac, has pledged at least $20 billion in foreign investment to build new data centers across the United States. Because who doesn’t love a good data center, eh?
