Public company invests $10 million in Faraday Future tokenized equity product, soon to be launched
Nasdaq-listed company AIxCrypto announces plans to invest $10 million to purchase common stock of Faraday Future. This investment will serve as the underlying asset for its first tokenized equity product. This not only marks an important step for AIxCrypto in advancing its RWA business but also reflects a strategic shift of traditional listed companies toward the Web3 space.
Strategic Transformation Behind the Investment
AIxCrypto’s Rebranding
AIxCrypto (Nasdaq ticker: AIXC), formerly QLGN, completed its rebranding and business transformation in November 2025. Transitioning from a traditional listed company to a Web3 platform focused on stock tokenization, this change is quite comprehensive. According to the latest news, AIxCrypto’s core business is to tokenize traditional financial assets via blockchain infrastructure, connecting on-chain economy with traditional markets.
This investment in Faraday Future is a concrete implementation of this strategy. AIxCrypto is not simply buying shares but using these holdings as underlying assets to develop its first tokenized equity product. In other words, investors may indirectly hold Faraday Future’s equity through tokens in the future.
Why Choose Faraday Future
Faraday Future (Nasdaq ticker: FFAI) is an electric vehicle manufacturer also listed on Nasdaq. As the investee, it provides a tangible asset with market attention. This is crucial for AIxCrypto’s first tokenized product because it requires a well-known and relatively liquid asset to support the credibility of this new product.
Significance of Tokenized Equity Products
Market-Level Innovation
Tokenized equity products are an important direction in the RWA (Real-World Asset) track. Traditional stock trading is limited by trading hours, geography, and minimum investment amounts. Through tokenization, in theory, 24/7 trading, lower investment thresholds, and faster settlement can be achieved.
Choosing equity of a publicly listed company as an entry point is a smart move. Listed company stocks are standardized and have clear valuation, making them easier to tokenize and trade compared to other RWA assets (such as real estate or art).
Consideration of Regulatory Friendliness
Although tokenized products involve complex legal issues, AIxCrypto’s choice to invest in Nasdaq-listed companies means the entire operation is conducted within a relatively regulated framework. Compared to issuing tokens directly, this approach may face less regulatory resistance.
Future Focus
From the announcement of this investment to the actual launch of a tokenized product, several steps remain. According to reports, AIxCrypto has signed a non-binding letter of intent, meaning further confirmation is needed before proceeding.
In my personal opinion, if this product truly materializes, it could become a landmark case in the RWA track. A tokenized equity product led by a Nasdaq-listed company would have a strong demonstration effect. However, it’s also important to watch how widely such tokenized products are adopted and whether they can attract traditional investors—these are key issues moving forward.
Summary
AIxCrypto’s investment reflects two trends: first, listed companies are actively embracing Web3 and blockchain technology, shifting from passive responses to proactive strategies; second, the RWA track is moving from conceptual to practical implementation, with equity tokenization likely being the most feasible direction.
While the $10 million investment is not particularly large in scale, its strategic signaling is significant. Continued attention is warranted on when AIxCrypto will officially launch its tokenized products and how the market will respond.
