It is reported that Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA) saw its stock price drop nearly 5% in a single day following the release of its FY2026 Q4 earnings report on May 15. While revenue showed modest growth, profitability deteriorated sharply: Non-GAAP EPS stood at just $0.09, adjusted EBITDA contracted approximately 84% year-on-year, and quarterly free cash flow turned negative at $2.5 billion. Management attributed the losses to intense capital expenditures during the AI-First strategic transformation—specifically, procurement of AI computing power, expansion of data centers, and subsidies for instant delivery services—all occurring simultaneously and significantly compressing short-term profit margins. Ongoing U.S.-China tech tensions and persistent uncertainty surrounding AI chip export controls have further amplified market pessimism. The stock fell nearly 5% today.

According to a report by Caixin, Global Payments, a global payment technology and software company, released its “Global Payments Report 2026,” which states that digital wallets now account for over half of global online transaction value and one-third of offline transaction value. Digital wallets offer flexible integration of diverse payment methods—including cryptocurrencies—and the report forecasts that direct cryptocurrency payments will be the fastest-growing online payment method, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% between 2025 and 2030. This implies that by 2030, e-commerce transactions conducted directly via cryptocurrency could represent 0.28% of global e-commerce transaction value—nearly $31 billion. However, despite the global cryptocurrency market capitalization nearing $3.2 trillion as of end-2025, cryptocurrency remains a relatively marginal payment method for consumer-to-merchant transactions. Reports from MRC and Visa indicate that only 10% of merchants worldwide directly accept cryptocurrency payments. In 2025, cryptocurrency accounted for just 0.19%—approximately $15 billion—of global e-commerce transaction value.
