Unlike stablecoins, which are generally supported by assets such as bonds or fiat reserves, Alibaba's tokenized payment system uses "deposit tokens" that are directly linked to actual

deposits, a method with its JPMD token. JPMorgan's deposit token, which operates on Coinbase's Base blockchain, enables institutional users to transfer funds within seconds at any time, . Alibaba's model, developed in collaboration with JPMorgan's Kinexys blockchain division, does not depend on cryptocurrency exchanges or unstable assets, an important factor for major trade networks .

This initiative comes as China increases oversight of stablecoins, which are often issued by non-bank organizations and operate in a regulatory gray area. Alibaba's deposit tokens, which are backed by fiat currency held in banks, are consistent with China's preference for centralized, bank-supported digital money

Experts estimate that this collaboration could handle billions of dollars in settlements each year, positioning Alibaba at the forefront of tokenized B2B financial services

. Should the December rollout prove successful, it could prompt U.S. and European rivals to adopt similar technologies as tokenization becomes more prevalent in global supply chains and capital markets .
