A Major Surprise! Jack Ma's Comeback After Three Years of "Hiding" — Ant Group Enters the Stablecoin Battlefield, Targeting the Heart of Global Payments!

Once halted in its IPO and falling from its peak, Ant Group is now returning to the main stage in a different way. This time, they are focusing on the core engine of digital currency — stablecoins.

From being the "Light of National Fintech" to a global blockchain promoter, Ant Group has completed a strategic transformation:

Its Singapore international division plans to submit a license application immediately after the new Hong Kong stablecoin regulations come into effect in August this year.

At the same time, they are applying for licenses in Singapore, Luxembourg, and other locations to fully position themselves in the financial hubs of Asia and Europe.

Once approved, Ant will officially obtain the passport to issue and operate fiat-backed stablecoins.

Why is this step crucial?

Stablecoins have become a key weapon for global enterprise-level cross-border settlement. For Ant, this is not a short-term trial but a “digital passport” to rebuild global payment discourse power:

A faster, cheaper, and safer remittance experience.

Targeting the “funding channel demand” of online platforms, multinational enterprises, and the Web3 ecosystem.

It is expected to challenge the existing traditional clearing system and rewrite the rules of the game.

Key data supports this comeback:

In 2024, Ant's overseas business revenue is expected to reach nearly $3 billion, with profits for two consecutive years.

Global payment processing volume exceeds $1 trillion, one-third of which is completed through the self-developed Whale blockchain network.

An independent board has been formed, and speculation suggests it paves the way for a future relisting.

As the game between the Beautiful Country and Great Russia escalates and global policies rapidly shift, Asian financial centers — especially Hong Kong and Singapore, are becoming fertile ground for stablecoin development. Ant’s move is a key step to seize the high ground of digital finance.

The flame that is suppressed often burns even fiercer. Jack Ma's "Digital Empire" makes a comeback, this time, not relying on stories but on on-chain strength. Stablecoins are just the beginning; a larger script has only just begun.
