BABA: Fintech Deal With Doo Group Boosts Reach — But a $433M Investor Claim Still Looms
Court: S.D. New York
Case: 1:20-cv-09568
Alibaba BABA just signed a strategic MoU with Doo Group, aiming to co-develop a next-gen fintech ecosystem through Alibaba Cloud’s AI and cloud infrastructure. The deal brings Alibaba deeper into the global finance stack — from online trading to smart risk control.
The partnership will focus on three key areas:
- ⚙️ Advanced Infrastructure: Alibaba Cloud will power low-latency trading platforms via its global availability zones.
- 🤖 AI-Driven Finance: Doo Tech will deploy Alibaba’s AI for smarter risk, payments, and investment advisory tools.
- 🌐 Global Expansion: With Doo Group active across Asia, the UK, and offshore hubs, Alibaba Cloud aims to scale fintech services across APAC and beyond.
Security and compliance also play a central role, with international cloud security certifications combined with multi-jurisdictional financial licenses from Doo’s subsidiaries.
