AliExpress Crypto And NFT Push

It’s not the first time AliExpress would be entering the crypto industry. Last month, the e-commerce firm partnered with Shopping.io to allow users to pay for their purchases with cryptocurrencies in its major e-commerce stores.

Now, AliExpress accepts crypto payments on its online marketplace and recently added support for the memecoin ‘Floki.’ AliExpress’ entry in the NFT space showcases that the tech firms have begun understanding the need to adopt emerging tech to stay ahead of the curve.
