MOGU runs an online fashion and lifestyle marketplace that emphasizes KOL-driven commerce. KOLs are key opinion leaders — influential social media figures who drive engagement, promote products, and connect merchants with users on the platform.

Earlier, MOGU allocated $20 million of corporate assets to digital currencies. Digital currencies are crypto assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL); the company said the allocation would also target related securities and investment products.

China’s digital economy has shifted toward layered KOL strategies and social media marketing even amid tighter marketing budgets. A report notes that investment in social media marketing continues to outpace the broader market, supporting platforms with sizable user communities.

Retail sentiment on Stocktwits around MOGU traded in neutral territory with normal message volume. Shares of MOGU rose more than 12% year to date in 2025.
