How Tech Giants Are Quietly Dominating Blockchain: A Deep Dive into BAT's Strategic Moves

How Tech Giants Are Quietly Dominating Blockchain
From Skepticism to Strategic Embrace
When China’s 2017 ICO ban wiped out crypto speculators, something fascinating happened—the country’s internet giants stopped pretending they weren’t building blockchain solutions. As someone who’s analyzed cryptographic whitepapers since the SHA-256 algorithm was considered edgy, I’ve observed three phases of corporate blockchain evolution:
- The Denial Phase (2015-2017): Remember NetEase CEO Ding Lei publicly distancing himself from Bitcoin while quietly filing blockchain patents? Classic case of “smoke but don’t inhale” corporate strategy.
- The Infrastructure Phase (2018-2020): When BAT (Baidu-Alibaba-Tencent) collectively invested $3B+ in blockchain R&D without fanfare. Their play? Enterprise-grade BaaS platforms that now power everything from cross-border payments to milk supply chains.
- The Vertical Domination Phase (2021-Present): Where Ant Group processes more blockchain transactions daily than Ethereum (40+ use cases and counting).
The Silent War of Blockchain-as-a-Service
Here’s where it gets technical—and profitable. While retail investors chased NFT apes, China’s top 50 tech firms made their move:
- 6 companies built core protocols (including Tencent’s TBaaS that now secures tax records for 100M+ users)
- 13 deployed BaaS solutions (because selling shovels beats prospecting for gold)
- 7 dabbled in consumer applications (like JD.com’s anti-counterfeit tracking)
The winner? Undoubtedly Alibaba, whose蚂蚁区块链 handles HK-Pakistan remittances with lower fees than SWIFT. Meanwhile, Baidu’s “digital collectible” experiments (read: glorified ERC-721 tokens) show even giants can misfire.
Why This Matters Beyond China
For institutional clients on my advisory list, these developments reveal three truths:
- Regulatory clarity drives real adoption faster than any whitepaper
- Enterprise blockchains will outlast 99% of altcoins
- The future isn’t decentralized—it’s pragmatically distributed
Next time someone claims “blockchain is dead,” show them Ant Group’s patent portfolio. Then watch them quietly update their LinkedIn bios.

Die drei Phasen der Blockchain-Adaption
Erinnert ihr euch noch an die Zeit, als NetEase Bitcoin öffentlich verleugnete, während sie heimlich Patente anmeldeten? Klassiker! Jetzt dominieren BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) leise das Spiel mit ihren BaaS-Plattformen.
Wer braucht schon DeFi, wenn man Milk-Chain hat?
Während wir uns über NFTs lustig machen, verarbeiten diese Giganten mehr Transaktionen als Ethereum. Und ja, Ant Group hat SWIFT in puncto Gebühren längst überholt.

Was denkt ihr? Wann startet der DAX seine eigene Blockchain – für Bratwurst-Lieferketten?

When Crypto Meets Corporate Ninjas
Watching BAT’s blockchain moves is like observing ninjas rob a bank - silent, strategic, and terrifyingly efficient. While we were busy arguing about JPEG apes, these tech giants quietly built an empire processing more transactions than Ethereum (Ant Group MVP!).
Three Stages of Corporate Dominance:
- Denial phase: “We don’t do crypto” [files 47 patents]
- Infrastructure phase: $3B in R&D? Just casual weekend money
- Domination phase: Your milk carton now has more blockchain cred than your NFT portfolio
Moral of the story? Never bet against companies that can turn tax records into a blockchain use case. Thoughts on this silent takeover? Drop your hot takes below! 🔥

العمالقة الصينيون يلعبون بمهارة
من الإنكار إلى الهيمنة، BAT (بيدو وعلي بابا وتنسنت) تحولت من إنكار العملات المشفرة إلى بناء إمبراطورية بلوكشين خفية! 🕵️♂️
حرب البيااس الصامتة
بينما كنا نلهو بـ NFT، كانوا يبنون البنية التحتية ويحصلون على الأموال الحقيقية. هل تعلم أن علي بابا تعالج معاملات بلوكشين أكثر من إيثريوم؟ 🤯
التعليق الختامي
في المرة القادمة التي يقول فيها أحدهم “البلوكشين ميت”، أريه براءات اختراع مجموعة أنت! 💼

Quand les géants chinois jouent à cache-cache avec la blockchain
Rappelez-vous quand NetEase faisait semblant de détester Bitcoin tout en déposant des brevets blockchain ? Maintenant, le BAT (Baidu-Alibaba-Tencent) maîtrise l’art de ‘faire sans faire semblant’. Leur dernier tour ? Des solutions BaaS qui traitent plus de transactions que l’Ethereum entier !
La stratégie secrète : vendre des pelles pendant la ruée vers l’or
Pendant qu’on collectionnait des NFT de singes, ces malins ont construit l’infrastructure. Résultat ? Ant Group envoie maintenant de l’argent au Pakistan avec des frais plus bas que SWIFT. Qui dit mieux ?
Et vous, vous préférez lequel : le blockchain discret des géants ou le cirque des altcoins ? #RéveillezVous

Quand les licornes tech jouent les ninjas
Qui aurait cru que BAT (Baidu-Alibaba-Tencent) maîtrisait mieux la blockchain que mon ex ne maîtrise ses émotions ? 😂 Pendant qu’on s’extasiait sur les NFT de singes, ces géants ont tranquillement construit l’infrastructure du futur.
Le saviez-vous ? Ant Group traite plus de transactions blockchain par jour qu’Ethereum ! (Oui, ça fait mal à notre âme de crypto-puristes).
Et dire qu’en 2017 ils faisaient encore semblant de détester les cryptos… La prochaine fois que quelqu’un vous dit ‘la blockchain est morte’, montrez-lui le portefeuille de brevets d’Alibaba. Mic drop. 🎤
Qui pense encore que la décentralisation est l’avenir ? Débattez-moi ça en commentaires !

Когда CEO говорит ‘нет’ блокчейну, но патенты летят как блины
Китайские IT-гиганты прошли классические стадии принятия блокчейна: от ‘это пузырь’ до ‘а давайте встроим его в молочные поставки’. Теперь Алibaba обрабатывает больше транзакций, чем Ethereum - вот что значит ‘тихая экспансия’!
Где здесь ваш децентрализованный рай? Пока криптоэнтузиасты спорили о философии, BAT просто сделали BaaS (Blockchain-as-a-Snack) и начали кормить этим весь бизнес. Tencent уже хранит налоговые записи 100 млн пользователей - попробуйте объяснить это биткоин-максималистам!
Кто следующий? Может Вконтакте с NFT-пельменями? 😏

Quand les GAFA chinois jouent à cache-cache avec la blockchain
Rappelez-vous quand NetEase faisait semblant de détester le Bitcoin tout en déposant des brevets ? Aujourd’hui, la BAT (Baidu-Alibaba-Tencent) maîtrise l’art de la domination discrète.
Leur recette secrète ?
- Ignorer les NFT ridicules
- Construire des infrastructures sérieuses (40 cas d’usage chez Ant Group !)
- Rire silencieusement face à l’ETH qui rame
Et dire qu’en France on débat encore des stablecoins… Ils nous ont déjà distancés en mode furtif ! 😅

When Giants Play Hide and Seek with Blockchain
Remember when tech CEOs swore they weren’t into crypto? Now BAT (Baidu-Alibaba-Tencent) are the quiet kids who’ve built a blockchain empire while we were busy arguing about NFT apes.
The Denial Phase: NetEase’s CEO filing blockchain patents while dissing Bitcoin is like your vegan friend ‘accidentally’ eating bacon. Classic.
The Punchline: Ant Group now processes more blockchain transactions than Ethereum. So much for ‘decentralization’—meet the new bosses, same as the old bosses (but with better UX).
Next time someone says ‘blockchain is dead,’ show them China’s $3B BaaS playground. Then ask if they’d like fries with their humble pie. 🍟
