Partnership Announced: U Power and IoTeX to Tokenize Real-world Assets Using Blockchain Technology
U Power Limited and IoTeX have entered into a strategic partnership to tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) related to U Power’s electric vehicle (EV) battery-swapping technology (UOTTA™) and related infrastructure. The collaboration, formalized via a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on July 23, 2025, aims to utilize IoTeX’s IoT blockchain platform combined with AI technologies to transform physical battery assets and EV charging/battery-swapping stations into programmable digital assets [1][2][3].
The partnership focuses on revolutionizing energy and transportation systems by advancing blockchain finance (DeFi), decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), and AI-driven smart battery management. This integration will enhance scalability, security, and asset growth [1][2][3].
One of the key facets of the collaboration is the tokenization of RWAs. U Power will issue RWAs backed by corporate bonds, and IoTeX has committed to purchasing tokens linked to these bonds, reinforcing U Power’s capital structure and financial stability without immediate equity dilution [1][2][3].
The collaboration also emphasizes meeting regulatory requirements and leveraging platforms like HabitTrade for token-equity integration, targeting institutional investors and enhancing liquidity while reducing capital costs [1][3]. Future potential expansions include tokenizing EV charging stations and integrating AI-powered solutions for comprehensive clean energy and intelligent transportation ecosystems [4].
However, the announcement has received a muted market response due to the lack of explicit financial details or asset flows. There are limited public statements from sector leaders, indicating that stakeholders are still assessing the partnership's full impact [2].
In the realm of other developments, Binance appoints Gillian Lynch as head of EU operations, Markets: Block Inc. joins S&P 500, elevating Bitcoin's profile, and Tether drops USDT support on five legacy blockchains [5]. Additionally, the trading volume of IOTX surged by 136.35% in the past 24 hours, and the token, IOTX, has experienced a 30.21% price rise over 90 days [6].
As the partnership between U Power and IoTeX progresses, it will be interesting to observe how this collaboration shapes the future of sustainable, decentralized energy and transportation solutions.
