Is JD.com going to issue a stablecoin?

Liu Qiangdong said — they plan to apply for stablecoin licenses in major countries worldwide, which indicates they are taking a compliance route, not just creating a gimmick, but seriously wanting to enter the market.

This is actually a positive development for the crypto space.

The policy direction has become clearer.

In the future, compliant stablecoins can take the stage alongside USDT and USDC.

Usually, when talking about USDT with friends, the first reaction is that it's a money laundering tool, but if JD.com issues a stablecoin, it might actually help to dispel this stereotype.

Moreover, this isn't just nominal compliance; it could genuinely open up the imaginative space for cross-border DeFi, on-chain payments, and international settlement.

Let’s think boldly:

If JD's stablecoin can really be used to purchase global goods, it would become a bridge for off-chain payments.

Should other e-commerce platforms (like Pinduoduo, Amazon) follow suit?

Then the Web3 shopping scenario might just be seamlessly connected.

If Liu Qiangdong really manages to pull this off, perhaps in the future, when you participate in an airdrop or engage in an on-chain project, you will need to use JD's stablecoin for settlement.

At that time, JD might not only be an e-commerce platform but also become part of the next-generation payment system.

If this can really be implemented, it might directly connect Web3 and real-world commerce. We have been calling for on-chain consumption for so many years, and with JD's move, they might just kick the door wide open.

Of course, whether this will succeed ultimately depends on execution, but the direction is right, and the crypto space should indeed pay attention to this line. Don't just focus on the rise of altcoins; sometimes the real narrative begins to ferment from the B-end.
