时隔5年，蚂蚁集团再次向资本市场发起冲锋。只不过，这次准备上市的，是其海外板块跨境支付的核心——蚂蚁国际。 近期有消息显示，蚂蚁集团正计划将其海外业务板块"蚂蚁国际"分拆并赴港上市，目前正与监管部门沟通，初步信息显示"无政策障碍"。蚂蚁方面对此未予 置评。 去年10月，同样从蚂蚁集团拆分出的OceanBase，也透露过上市的计划。其CEO杨冰表示，团队的最大KPI是希望3—5年内可以上市。 显然，2020年蚂蚁集团IPO暂停后，蚂蚁集团又有了新一轮动作。在去年宣布将核心业务分拆后，让它们独立运营，并接受资本市场的考验。 蚂蚁国际独立上市传闻的背后，是新一轮中企出海潮兴起，跨境支付诉求也随之增强。蚂蚁国际迎来新的发展契机。 据了解，蚂蚁国际主打Alipay+、安通环球（Antom）和万里汇（WorldFirst）三大核心产品，覆盖C端支付、B端收单、B2B收付兑等跨境支付服务。 对普通消费者来说，这些业务或许陌生但其早已悄无声息地渗透进日常支付场景。 A - 1 204 LITERA 作者 | 柴旭晨 编辑 | 周智宇 目前，中企出海的大趋势已经让蚂蚁国际的价值凸显。阿里集团财报显示，2024年蚂蚁国际营收27 ...
