Ant Group

Ant Group has publicly denied rumors of a joint venture with the People’s Bank of China and China Rare Earth Group to launch a rare earth-backed RMB stablecoin. This follows a previous denial from AntChain regarding collaboration on Real World Assets with Hainan HuaTie. Ant Group cautions the public against investment scams and misinformation related to digital assets, particularly those falsely implying association with Ant Group or AntChain. The company reserves the right to pursue legal action against unauthorized brand use.

Ant Group celebrated 2,733 employees, 7.5% of its workforce, who have dedicated over 10 years to the company. These “Decade of Dedication” awardees, averaging 39 years old, include key innovators behind initiatives like “Collect Five Blessings” and Yu’e Bao, with 45% in technical roles. CEO Eric Jing presented them with the “Entrusted with Fortune” gift set. In a humorous gesture, Jing offered a “conditional offer” to a 10-year-old boy, son of an honoree, for a job in ten years.

Ant Group launches “AQ,” an AI health app leveraging a medical large language model to offer comprehensive healthcare services. AQ analyzes symptoms, interprets medical reports, identifies skin conditions based on images, and provides health advice. The app connects users with doctors, offers 24/7 AI specialist avatars, supports voice calls, and integrates with health devices for personalized health records and insights. It prioritizes data privacy and security and is built on a foundation of extensive medical data and professional expertise.
