A major Argentine state-backed energy company has moved over $800 million in electricity contracts onto the XRP Ledger (XRPL). YPF Luz, Argentina’s largest power generation company, partnered with blockchain firm Justoken to launch Enertoken on the XRP Ledger in March 2026.
Enertoken is live ⚡️
$800M+ in energy assets tokenized on blockchain — one of the largest RWA projects in the world.
Built by Justoken in partnership with YPF Luz on the XRP Ledger — a public blockchain purpose-built for real-world asset tokenization.

The platform tokenizes electricity contracts, tracks real-time consumption, and handles billing entirely on-chain. Each JMWH token represents one megawatt-hour of energy. When the electricity is consumed, the corresponding tokens are automatically burned. The full lifecycle, from issuance to settlement, is recorded transparently on the XRP Ledger.
Most real-world asset tokenization projects are still just pilots. Enertoken is not.
It is live infrastructure already handling real electricity contracts worth over $800 million.
YPF Luz CEO Martín Mandarano called it a major step forward in energy commercialization. “The integration of tokenized energy assets allows us to optimize processes, enhance traceability, and deliver greater transparency to our clients,” he said.
The most underreported detail is regulation. Enertoken operates under Argentina’s capital markets authority (CNV). That means the tokenized energy assets on the XRP Ledger carry the same formal regulatory accountability as traditional financial instruments in the country.
Argentina is not an outlier, it is part of a clear regional trend. Latin America’s volatile energy costs, structural currency instability, and capital controls create strong demand for transparent, on-chain records of real economic obligations.
These are daily challenges for companies like YPF Luz, making blockchain-based infrastructure practical rather than experimental. It’s why countries like Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and others across the region are using cryptocurrency to bypass these hurdles and get things done.
Justoken has positioned itself to serve multiple sectors across the region, including energy, agriculture, mining, and finance. The Enertoken launch is its first deployment at scale, but the company’s roadmap shows many more are planned.
The XRP Ledger is playing a practical role here. It recently recorded $8.29 billion in monthly transfer volume, with over 213,000 total holders and more than 18,000 monthly active addresses. In this case, XRPL is not being used for speculation, it is functioning as live settlement infrastructure for contracts with real-world economic impact.
This deployment raises a bigger question: Is Latin America quietly becoming the real-world testing ground for institutional-grade RWA infrastructure on public blockchains while other regions are still mostly talking about it? The region is already doing an impressive job with stablecoins.
There is an important counterpoint. Argentina’s regulatory environment, though structured today, remains vulnerable to political instability. Legal observers, including reports from Xcapit and DLA Piper, have flagged ongoing jurisdictional uncertainty between the CNV and BCRA. Future governments could change the rules or impose new capital controls, which might affect the long-term enforceability of on-chain energy contracts.
What the blockchain can control, however, is the record itself. Every contract, token issuance, and burn event is transparent and auditable on the XRP Ledger. That immutable transparency is exactly why XRPL is attractive for this kind of real-world use, and why the Enertoken launch may prove more significant than headlines suggest.
