China's well-known e-commerce platform gets on board! Mogujie: strategically allocating BTC, ETH, SOL

On September 11, China's well-known women's fashion social e-commerce platform MOGU Inc. announced that its board of directors has approved a strategic allocation of corporate assets to Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL), as well as related securities and investment products in the second quarter of this year. This move is not only a strategic action for asset diversification and long-term value preservation but also a crucial step for the company to accelerate its entry into decentralized AI applications and services.

From E-commerce to On-chain AI Ecosystem

Mogu Street stated that it will rely on years of accumulated AI technology to build an ecosystem empowered by blockchain:

Digital assets as the core of user interaction: users can use BTC, ETH, SOL and other assets to access AI applications, services, and advanced features.

On-chain circulation framework: directly utilize the cryptocurrency assets held by the company to experiment and expand new product incentives and utility models.

Decentralized computing and data layer participation: Direct access to the computing power, data, and incentive mechanisms of decentralized AI through holding coins.

The company has begun strategically purchasing digital currencies through regulated trading platforms, using them as a store of value and potential appreciation assets, and providing underlying support for future decentralized AI products.

Capital and Market Background

Mogujie was established in 2011, focusing on women's fashion social e-commerce. It has received investments from several well-known institutions, including Qiming Venture Partners, IDG Capital, and Ping An Ventures, with a total financing of over 400 million USD, and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in December 2018.

After the announcement was released, Mogujie surged over 200% to $8.1 during intraday trading on September 11, reaching a market cap of over $40 million, before falling back to $4.97, narrowing the increase to 99.24%.

in sync with global regulatory trends

It is worth noting that the strategic transformation of Mushroom Street coincides with the U.S. regulatory authorities releasing more open signals regarding cryptocurrency and AI.

At the OECD Global Financial Markets Roundtable, U.S. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins stated:

· The era of cryptocurrency has arrived, and the SEC will no longer rely on temporary enforcement actions, but will instead provide clear and predictable regulatory rules.

· Promote the application of digital assets and AI in the financial market under the "Project Crypto" framework.

· Support for innovation in "super-app" type trading platforms, allowing for trading, lending, and staking services to be provided under a single regulatory framework.

· Emphasize the regulation of "minimum effective dose", reduce red tape, and unleash market competitiveness.

This means that, whether in China or the United States, the integration of crypto assets and AI is becoming an important new narrative in the global capital markets.

Strategic Significance and Future Outlook

Mogujie’s move has multiple strategic implications:

Asset diversification: Mitigate risk and hedge against inflation by allocating BTC, ETH, and SOL.

Technological foresight: positioning in advance in the decentralized AI track, using digital assets as an application entry point.

International Perspective: Keeping pace with global regulatory trends to pave the way for future cross-border business and capital cooperation.

As more traditional enterprises begin to incorporate crypto assets into their balance sheets, the case of Mogu Street may become a benchmark for Chinese internet companies exploring the integration of Web3 and AI.

Conclusion

From a women's fashion e-commerce to an on-chain AI ecosystem, the transformation of Mogujie is not only an adjustment of asset allocation but also an upgrade of the business model. With core assets such as BTC, ETH, and SOL entering the company's strategic landscape, this Chinese e-commerce platform is attempting to create the next growth engine using blockchain and AI. Against the backdrop of a gradually clarifying global regulatory environment, this may just be the beginning of Chinese companies entering the cryptocurrency and AI space on a large scale.
