Alibaba is a large company from China and has a large business unit. I'm sure the project will have a big impact. what's more now that China has supported the blockchain project, this could become a new force in the cryptocurrency market later. I can't wait for the project to be truly released.
Maybe Alibaba will use the technology blockchain but that doesn't mean they will jump into the cryptocurrency market because they already have their own payment method, Alipay. Blockchain has become a technology that will be used by large companies and I think it is not surprising if Alibaba uses blockchain to secure their data, it will be a surprise if Alibaba releases its own cryptons
