Alibaba is getting ready to shake up global B2B payments, and it’s doing it with JPMorgan’s blockchain technology.

The company plans to launch a tokenized payment network by December, aiming to fix one of global trade’s biggest problems: slow, expensive cross-border transactions.

A Tokenized Push to Speed Up Global Trade

Kuo Zhang, president of Alibaba.com, told CNBC that the company is building a settlement system based on tokenized USD and EUR – something that works “stablecoin-like,” but is backed by real bank deposits. The goal is to make payments feel seamless, no matter where the buyer or supplier is based.

Alibaba wants to solve the classic pain points in B2B trade – multi-currency delays, long settlement windows, and high fees. Today, payments can be stuck for 48 to 72 hours, which is a problem tokenizing deposits can solve.

The company is also rolling out Agentic Pay, a new payment rail that uses AI to automatically turn chat discussions between buyers and suppliers into contracts. 

JPMorgan’s Blockchain Becomes the Backbone

To power this upgrade, Alibaba is tapping JPMorgan’s tokenization unit, Kinexys. 

The timing is interesting too. JPMorgan already moves around $2 billion in tokenized transactions every day and just two days before launched its deposit token on Base.

This partnership brings two heavyweights together: Alibaba on the global commerce side, and JPMorgan as the bank that is set to become one of the strongest players in real-world blockchain payments.

A Real Test for Tokenized Payments

If Alibaba hits its December timeline, this could become one of the largest real-world deployments of tokenized money in global trade. Analysts expect billions in annual settlement volume to eventually move through the system.

This is an interesting glimpse of how cross-border finance will operate going forward. Time will tell us more about adoption.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
