Jia Yueting opens the second front, how will AIxC predict the Pionex party?

Original author: KarenZ, Foresight News

At the beginning of 2026, Jia Yueting is up to something again!

When mentioning Jia Yueting, the keywords that may come to mind are his persistence in the car manufacturing race, the public label of "returning to China next week," or the tug-of-war over debt repayment and delivery. However, he has quietly opened a second front—taking AIxC into new actions in the "AI + Web3" field.

So, what is the deep connection between Jia Yueting and AIXC? What does AIXC's strategic landscape look like? How does the trending prediction competition portal AIXC Hub actually work?

Before diving in, it is important to note that prediction markets are significantly influenced by global regulatory policies. Additionally, FF still faces ongoing operational losses, and there is uncertainty regarding the ecological synergy between AIxC and FF, as well as the progress of RWA tokenization business. DYOR.

What is the deep connection between Jia Yueting and AIxC?

AIxC (AIxCrypto Holdings) was formerly known as Qualigen Therapeutics. Qualigen Therapeutics is a clinical-stage cancer treatment company that completed its name change through restructuring in November 2025, with its stock code changing from QLGN to AIXC. The company has completely transformed into a focus on AI + blockchain + Web3, concentrating on decentralized artificial intelligence (DeAI), Web3 asset infrastructure, and smart trading systems, aiming to become a bridge connecting Web2 and Web3.

This strategic transformation is directly led by Faraday Future (FF) founder and co-CEO Jia Yueting, who not only personally appeared as the chief advisor of AIxC in New York in November 2025 for the AIXC name change listing but also positioned it as a core pillar of FF's global strategy.

In terms of equity structure, Faraday Future, as the controlling shareholder of AIxC, holds approximately 55% of the shares directly; when including related shareholders such as Jia Yueting and FF Global President Jerry Wang, the total shareholding rises to about 63%, further solidifying Jia Yueting's core control over AIxC.

The capital foundation for this transformation can be traced back to September 2025, when FF initiated a strategic investment in QLGN through a private equity investment (PIPE), leading to a total financing of approximately $41 million. Among them, FF contributed about $30 million to gain beneficial ownership of 55% of the issued common stock; Jia Yueting personally invested $4 million, holding about 7% of the shares. Other investors include SIGN Foundation, Sequoia Capital (U.S., India, China), IDG, Circle, and FF Global President Jerry Wang, who will also serve as co-CEO of QLGN.

Three Core Development Pillars of AIxC

To achieve ecological synergy, Jia Yueting proposed a "FFAI + AIXC" dual-flywheel structure: FFAI focuses on physical assets such as smart electric vehicles to build a large user ecosystem; AIxC, on the other hand, empowers FFAI through Web3, such as supporting cryptocurrency purchases of vehicles and tokenizing FFAI stocks, forming a two-way driving pattern of "physical ecology + digital tools." Based on this structure, AIxC has established three core development pillars:

BesTrade DeAI Agent & Web3 AI Terminal: This includes a one-stop aggregated trading entry, BesTrade DeAI Agent, responsible for smart aggregation, AI decision-making, copy trading, and execution; a unified entry for the Web3 application ecosystem, Web3 Store, allowing Web3 applications to be easily installed and used like an App Store; and on-chain native smart devices, Web3 AI terminals.
Web3 Embedded AI (EAI) + RWA Ecological Development: FF and AIxC have signed a letter of intent to purchase $10 million worth of FFAI common stock. AIxC stated that if the transaction is completed, it plans to use these common stocks to explore digital asset products, including tokenizing the purchased shares, which will become the underlying assets for AIxC's first tokenized RWA product.
AI Management of Crypto Assets and C10 Index.

Before discussing how to play AIXC Hub, it is worth highlighting a key background. AIxC may be a crucial step for Jia Yueting to rescue FF. After all, FF is currently under significant operational loss pressure, with a single-quarter operational loss of $206.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, and a cumulative loss of $357 million in the first three quarters. Although frequent financing has covered operational expenses for six consecutive quarters, with a financing amount of $135.8 million in the first three quarters, long-term reliance on financing "blood transfusions" is not a sustainable solution. The launch of AIxC and Hub products is seen as Jia Yueting's "second battlefield" for FF, attempting to leverage the heat of the digital ecosystem to support the main car manufacturing business.

AIXC Hub Operation Guide

To activate ecological vitality, AIxC has launched the official Twitter account of the AIXC Foundation and launched the core ecological product AIXC Hub on the evening of January 7.

As the core portal for predictions and competitions in the AIxC ecosystem, AIXC Hub operates on a seasonal basis, with each season setting a dedicated theme and rules, and launching a complete points, ranking, and reward system.

1. Core Gameplay: S1 Season Rules

The first season (S1) of AIXC Hub centers around the C10 index launched by AIxC, where users only need to predict the directional trend of the index (up/down) to participate in point accumulation. The first season will last for one month.

The AIXC C10 index is a basket index of the top ten cryptocurrencies (excluding stablecoins) compiled by AIxC, calculated using a market capitalization-weighted method, while setting a single asset weight cap of 50% to ensure diversification and reduce risk. The index undergoes a weight rebalancing once a month, dynamically adjusting the proportion of component assets based on market fluctuations to ensure the index's representativeness.

2. Points Acquisition Methods

C10 Index Prediction: Accurate predictions can earn 10 basic points, while incorrect predictions do not score. A single account can participate in 100 predictions daily, every 10 seconds, and consecutive accurate predictions can trigger a winning streak reward. Each round of prediction results is independent.
Daily Tasks: Completing daily check-ins, submitting 10 predictions, or posting relevant analysis content on Twitter (must @aixc_official and @aixcfoundation) can earn additional points.
Team Gameplay: Users can create their own teams or join existing teams (each team is limited to 1-500 members), with the total team points being the sum of all members' individual points, helping the team sprint for ranking rewards.
Hidden Tasks: Hidden tasks will be unlocked periodically.

3. Season Reward System

The S1 season has established an ecological incentive pool worth over $2 million, with rewards including cash and points exchange rights, balancing individual and team dimensions:
Individual Rewards: The top 50 participants in the season's individual ranking can receive rewards based on their ranking.
Team Rewards: All team members can receive a 1.1x basic reward multiplier; the first, second, and third-ranked teams will have their members' reward multipliers increased to 5x, 3x, and 2x, respectively.
Exclusive Honors: At the end of the season, AIxC will invite top individual participants and team leaders to Los Angeles, USA, to participate in an exclusive peak honor ceremony.

Conclusion

Clearly, Jia Yueting is pushing to upgrade his role from "car manufacturer" to "AI + digital ecosystem builder" through AIxC, intending to establish AIxC as "the gateway to the AI Web3 world."

For the outside world, is this truly the "lifesaver" Jia Yueting has found for FF, or is it just the beginning of another capital game? The S1 season of AIXC Hub may serve as the first litmus test for its ecological self-sustaining ability.
