What is Alibaba?
Alibaba Group Holding Limited, also known as Alibaba Group and Alibaba.com, is a Chinese multinational tech company that provides infrastructure and marketing reach to help sellers, brands and other businesses engage with users and customers. As a holding company, it is legally domiciled in the Cayman Islands and conducts its e-commerce businesses through its Chinese subsidiaries and variable interest entities (VIEs). The company operates four main business segments: the core commerce segment, e.g. China retail, Taobao Marketplace and Tmall; the cloud computing segment; the digital media segment; and the innovation initiatives segment.
In August of 2021, Alibaba said it was increasing its share repurchase program from $10bn to $15bn, the largest share buyback program in its history, demonstrating the tech giant’s confidence in its long-term sustainable development and value creation.
In 2014, Alibaba’s initial public offering (IPO) on New York Stock Exchange raised $25bn, giving the company a market value of $231bn and remains the largest IPO in world history.
How to invest in Alibaba stocks: tokenised security method and the traditional online method
Invest in Alibaba stock with tokenised shares
Tokenised shares allow you to invest in Alibaba stock in the form of a digital coin, gaining exposure to Alibaba shares without needing to own the underlying asset. At Dzengi.com, a tokenised security allows an individual to invest in fractional stocks that are backed by digital tokens stored on the blockchain. Crypto-holders are no longer required to convert their cryptocurrencies into fiat money to be able to trade Alibaba or any other shares because tokenised shares can be bought with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ether.
You can speculate on the price movement of Alibaba shares through the tokenised assets available on Dzengi.com and receive real-time updates via an Alibaba price chart available on your computer, iOS or Android device.
Step 1: visit the Dzengi.com trading platform and open an account by completing the two-factor authentication security process.
Step 2: choose how much you want to deposit into your account. It is possible to trade with either crypto or with fiat currency.
Step 3: calculate the value of the position you want to open, or you can calculate the size of the position based on your available capital and the percentage margin. For example, a position of $10,000 would require that you have $500 of available capital when you trade tokenised Alibaba shares 1 : 20 (5%).
Step 4: positions are opened using the same approach in place at other investment platforms - i.e. taking a long position if an Alibaba stock price increase is anticipated, or shorting if there is an expected decline in the Alibaba share price value.
Step 5: Dzengi.com links the open Alibaba stock trading positions between its clients and all unpaired buy or sell orders that are hedged with Capital.com, LMAX Digital or, if needed, with Binance, Bitstamp, Kraken, NASDAQ, NYSE and Gain Capital.
Step 6: you may also consider placing a take profits order or initiate a stop loss order.

Alibaba stock trading without the blockchain
In order to buy Alibaba stock, it is necessary to find a broker that has or can provide access to the New York Stock Exchange, the main exchange that the shares are traded on. This is generally considered a longer-term method of investment because Alibaba stock price valuations fluctuate daily but generally follow a steady price evolution as time progresses.
Step 1: find a suitable online broker
The broker must have access to the exchanges you want to trade on, meaning the broker must hold BABA shares that are accessible through the New York Stock Exchange. The broker must also be fit for purpose, so it is important to note that not all brokers allow every individual to open an account with them, and where some brokers may charge high fees, others may be free.
Step 2: open a brokerage account
This requires confirmation of your identity and background checks. It is where records of the Alibaba shares will be stored.
Step 3: deposit money to your account
The most common way to deposit money into a personal brokerage account is via bank transfer or using a credit or debit card. At some brokers you make a deposit into your investment account from different electronic wallets, like Paypal.
Step 4: buy Alibaba shares at the Alibaba share price
The last step is to purchase the shares. After logging into your online brokerage account and searching for the Alibaba share, select the number of shares you want to buy, and confirm the transaction, which will then initiate the purchase of shares, also known as executing the buy order.
Step 5: review your position regularly
Follow your investment strategy. If you bought Alibaba shares to hold them for a longer term, you might participate in the company’s annual meetings and may choose to follow the company’s prospects in the news.
