Mogu Street’s Investment Strategy
On September 11, Mogu Street, a prominent player in China’s e-commerce landscape, revealed a significant investment strategy approved by its board for the second quarter of this year. The company is pivoting towards digital currency assets, notably Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, alongside related securities and investment products. This shift not only aims to diversify their financial portfolio but also enhances their long-term asset value in the evolving digital marketplace.
Integration of AI and Digital Assets
Leveraging Mogu’s established expertise in artificial intelligence, the company’s strategic reallocation of resources is set to propel its involvement in decentralized applications and services.

Acquisition of Digital Currencies
In alignment with this initiative, Mogu has commenced acquiring digital currencies from regulated trading platforms, such as HashKey, positioning these assets as a future-focused store of value amid the rise of decentralized computing and data frameworks.
