LABUBU vs. Moutai: A Generational Clash of Social Currency in the Digital Age
When Designer Toys Meet Baijiu
Walking past the Bubble Mart store in SoHo last weekend, I had to chuckle at the crowd of Gen Z collectors trading limited-edition LABUBU figures like Wall Street brokers. Meanwhile, halfway across the world in Shanghai banquet halls, executives still toast deals with $300 shots of Moutai. Bank of America’s recent report framing these as parallel social currencies reveals more about economic evolution than either product’s intrinsic value.
The Anatomy of Social Currency 2.0
Both assets share three key attributes:
- Scarcity mechanics (limited releases vs. production quotas)
- Secondary market liquidity (StockX-style resale platforms for both)
- Status signaling - though the signals couldn’t be more different
Moutai lubricates hierarchical relationships in analog business culture, while LABUBU creates horizontal belonging among digital natives. One serves guanxi networking; the other fuels Instagram hashtags.
The Valuation Paradox
The report nails a crucial insight: these aren’t消费品 (consumer goods) but 社交资产 (social assets). Bubble Mart’s 18x P/E ratio versus Moutai’s 35x reflects how markets price different generational bets:
- Moutai: A ‘forever asset’ with centuries of imperial endorsement
- LABUBU: A memeable zeitgeist play requiring constant innovation
Yet both face similar reckoning moments - recall when Moutai crashed 30% after anti-corruption campaigns, just as LABUBU resale prices corrected when Bubble Mart increased supply.
The Global Test
Here’s where it gets interesting: while Moutai struggles to transcend its ‘Chinese state banquet’ image abroad, LABUBU figures outsell Marvel merch in Tokyo’s Harajuku district. This isn’t just about toys versus alcohol - it’s centralized tradition versus decentralized youth culture finding common global language through anime aesthetics and blockchain-enabled collecting.
As I told my hedge fund clients last quarter: watch which asset class learns faster from the other. Will Moutai develop NFT authentication for rare vintages? Can Bubble Mart institutionalize IP development like Disney? That convergence point might be the next big trade.

पुरानी शराब बनाम नए खिलौने!
क्या आपने कभी सोचा है कि Moutai की बोतल और LABUBU का खिलौना एक ही मुद्रा हैं? जी हाँ! Bank of America की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक, दोनों ही सोशल स्टेटस के प्रतीक हैं - एक पारंपरिक बिजनेस वर्ल्ड के लिए, दूसरा जेन जेड कलेक्टर्स के लिए।
डिजिटल गोल्ड रश
अब दिलचस्प बात यह है कि LABUBU टोक्यो में Marvel से ज्यादा बिक रहा है, जबकि Moutai विदेशों में अपनी इमेज से जूझ रहा है। क्या अब Moutai को NFT लाना चाहिए? 🤔

ของสะสมยุคใหม่ vs. เครื่องดื่มแห่งเครือข่าย
เห็นเด็ก Gen Z แลกเปลี่ยนฟิกเกอร์ LABUBU แบบนักเทรดหุ้นก็ตลกดี ในขณะที่อีกฟากเมือง นักธุรกิจยังคงชนแก้ว Moutai ราคาแพงเพื่อสร้างความสัมพันธ์!
สกุลเงินสังคมสองแบบ
ทั้งคู่มีจุดร่วมที่น่าสนใจ:
- ของหายาก (ลิมิตเอดิชัน vs. โควตาการผลิต)
- ตลาดรอง (ขายผ่านแพลตฟอร์มออนไลน์ได้ทั้งคู่)
- การแสดงสถานะ - แต่คนละแบบเลย!
Moutai คือเครื่องมือสร้างเครือข่ายธุรกิจ ส่วน LABUBU คือการสร้างชุมชนในโลกดิจิทัล ใครจะคิดว่า ‘ของเล่น’ กับ ‘เหล้า’ จะมาแข่งกันในฐานะสินทรัพย์สังคมได้!
แล้วคุณล่ะ ชอบสกุลเงินสังคมแบบไหน? คอมเมนต์บอกกันหน่อย!
เด็กรุ่นใหม่เค้าเทรดของเล่นกันแล้วนะคุณ!
เห็นหนุ่มๆสาวๆแย่งซื้อ LABUBU แบบ limited edition แล้วอยากบอกว่า…นี่มันตลาดหุ้นชัดๆ! ส่วนวัยเก๋ายัง坚守การลงทุนแบบจีนโบราณกับเหล้า Moutai เต็มแก้ว 555
สองโลกแต่เงินเดียวกัน
ทั้งคู่คือ”สกุลเงินสังคม”ตัวพ่อ - ของเล่นสร้างเครือข่ายแนวนอน เหล้าสร้างแนวตั้ง ค่านิยมเปลี่ยนแต่”ความหายาก”ยังเป็น King!
คุยกันต่อในคอมเมนต์
คุณว่ายุคนี้ลงทุนอะไรดี? ของเล่นดิจิทัลหรือเหล้า vintage? (ผมขอเก็บ LABUBU สักตัวละกัน…ไว้ประมูลทีหลัง ฮ่าๆ)
Qui l’emportera : le LABUBU ou le Moutai ?
Quand les collectionneurs de jouets Gen Z échangent des LABUBU comme des traders et que les PDG trinquent encore avec du Moutai à 300€ la dose, on se demande qui détient la vraie “monnaie sociale”.
Scarcité VS Tradition
Le LABUBU mise sur l’innovation et les hashtags Instagram, tandis que le Moutai repose sur des siècles de réseautage guanxi. Mais attention : les deux ont déjà connu des crashs mémorables (anti-corruption pour l’un, surproduction pour l’autre).
Et vous, vous parieriez sur lequel ? 🤔 #BlockchainOuBanquet
Кто победит в битве поколений?
LABUBU и Moutai — два символа статуса, но для разных миров. Один для цифровых аборигенов, другой для традиционных бизнес-ланчей.
Смешно, но факт: оба имеют вторичный рынок и дефицит. Только один можно поставить на полку, а второй — в Instagram.
Какой вы выбираете? Пишите в комментариях! 😆
LABUBU vs. Moutai?
Nakakatawa talaga—ang isa ay inumin para sa mga CEO, ang isa naman ay iniinom para sa mga K-pop fan!
Sabi nila: “Social currency”? Oo naman! Ang Moutai para sa guanxi (kumpare), ang LABUBU para sa Instagram likes.
Pero ano ba talaga? Ang una’y may centuries ng endorsement (imperyo pa!), ang ikalawa’y dapat palaging baguhin o mawala na.
Parang si Ate Liza sa bintana—seryoso pero may kakaiba rin! 😂
Ano kayo? Piliin ninyo: paborito ba kayo sa “forever asset” o sa “memeable trend”?
Comment section: Bumoto na! 🗳️
LABUBU là đồ chơi? Hay Moutai là rượu? Cả hai đều đắt hơn xe máy… nhưng một cái thì có hashtag còn cái kia thì có nồng độ cồn! Thị trường đang cười: người ta bán meme để mua bia, còn tôi thì uống bia để mua meme. Bạn đã bao giờ dùng NFT để trả tiền cho một chai baijiu chưa? Comment dưới đây: nếu không mua được thì đừng uống… nhưng nếu uống rồi thì hãy mua luôn! 😄
