Alibaba Cloud launches NFT solution… then quickly memory holes it
The firm’s NFT marketplace solution included “web hosting, digital marketing content delivery” infrastructure, but is no longer listed on its website despite still showing up in Google search results. The cloud business unit of Chinese marketplace giant Alibaba Group Holdings launched a new NFT solution and then promptly deleted all mention of it online. According to a now-deleted Twitter post announcing the launch on June 8, the firm’s NFT marketplace solution included “web hosting, digital marketing content delivery” infrastructure, but is no longer listed on its website despite. There are also no press releases or announcements related to the NFT solution on Alibaba’s website anymore, and while the solution’s webpage link still shows up in Google search results, it now redirects to Alibaba Cloud’s solution index page. Deleted Alibaba Cloud tweet: WayBackMachine The reason behind the deleted social media posts and delisting on its website are unclear at this stage. While crypto trading and mining are banned in China, there is a regulatory gray area with NFTs in the country — officials frown upon it but are yet to issue an outright ban.
