The online retail service firm is renowned for offering the latest electronics, fashion, phone accessories, computer electronics, toys, home and garden, home appliances, tools, and home improvement.

AliExpress is one of the largest e-commerce companies in China, with more than 903 million annual active consumers on its online shopping properties. E-commerce comprises small businesses in China and other locations, such as Singapore, offering products to international online buyers.

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.
