Abstract generation in progress

Ant Group – a company linked to Alibaba – has just filed for registration of trademarks related to virtual assets and blockchain, including “ANTCOIN”, in Hong Kong on October 27, 2025. This move indicates that the group is expanding into the fintech sector beyond traditional payment.

Thanks to Hong Kong's open policy towards digital finance, Ant Group has the opportunity to engage more deeply in the virtual asset market. However, the company still faces legal barriers, particularly in obtaining stablecoin licenses, as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority prioritizes established and reputable businesses.

According to Alibaba Group Chairman Joseph Tsai, Hong Kong is an ideal fintech hub thanks to its quality workforce and global connections. Although Ant Group has not disclosed details, investors expect new brands like “ANTCOIN” to pave the way for digital financial products in the future.
