Faraday Future Intelligent Electric a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, has taken a significant step in formalizing its emerging “FFAI + AIXC” dual-company strategy. The Company announced that its majority-owned, Nasdaq-listed subsidiary, Qualigen Therapeutics Inc., has officially completed its transition to a new name and identity: AIxCrypto Holdings Inc. (“AIxC”), now trading under the ticker symbol “AIXC.”
This change is more than a cosmetic rebrand. It is positioned as a foundational milestone in building a dual-flywheel, dual-bridge, and dual-listed company structure that links Faraday Future’s EAI (Eco/EV + AI) mobility ecosystem with Web3, blockchain, and crypto asset applications. The move is central to the Company’s efforts to develop an “EAI + Crypto” ecosystem that can support new business models, funding pathways, and user engagement methods.
Building the “FFAI + AIXC” Dual-Flywheel, Dual-Bridge System
Faraday Future’s vision for “FFAI + AIXC” is to operate two interconnected but focused platforms:
- FFAI (Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.) – The core EAI mobility company, centered on intelligent electric vehicles, AI-driven mobility services, and a premium user ecosystem.
- AIxC (AIxCrypto Holdings Inc.) – A digital asset and Web3-focused platform aimed at developing crypto-native products, blockchain-based services, and tokenization initiatives that can complement and empower the FF ecosystem.
The “dual-flywheel” concept refers to two engines of growth that can reinforce each other: the physical, experience-driven world of intelligent electric vehicles and mobility services on one side, and the digital, tokenized, Web3-enabled asset and service ecosystem on the other.
The “dual-bridge” element is designed to connect:
- Web2 to Web3 – Migrating traditional internet users and mobility customers into blockchain-enhanced experiences, digital ownership, and token-based participation models.
- Capital Markets to Crypto Markets – Linking traditional public equity financing with decentralized crypto asset mechanisms, thereby broadening financing channels and investor access.
By establishing AIxC as a Nasdaq-listed company in its own right, Faraday Future also completes the “dual-listed” structure: both FFAI and AIXC trade on major U.S. capital markets, offering investors differentiated but connected exposures to EAI mobility and EAI + Crypto innovation.
Tokenization Roadmap: Potential RWA Project Tied to FFAI Stock
As part of its strategic roadmap, AIxC announced that one of its planned business initiatives is the rollout of Real World Asset (RWA) services. RWAs generally involve bringing real-world assets—such as equities, bonds, real estate, or other financial instruments—onto the blockchain in tokenized form.
In this context, AIxC stated that its first potential RWA project could involve exploring the tokenization of up to $5 million of FFAI’s Class A common stock. This would effectively create blockchain-based tokens backed by an underlying pool of FFAI shares, subject to appropriate structure, regulatory review, and commercial agreements.
It is important to note that at this stage, the tokenization is exploratory:
- Any such initiative would require further evaluation,
- The development of detailed business, legal, and technical frameworks, and
- The execution of definitive agreements between AIxC and FFAI.
If implemented, this project would be an early real-world example of bridging a listed EV and mobility company’s equity into a Web3-native financial product, potentially allowing new forms of global, around-the-clock trading, liquidity, and participation for crypto-native investors.
Leadership Perspective: EAI + Crypto as a New Growth Engine
Commenting on the development, YT Jia, Founder and Global Co-CEO of Faraday Future, framed the name and ticker transition, along with the larger dual-company framework, as strategically significant for the entire FF ecosystem.
According to Jia, today’s milestone marks the beginning of a new stage of development fueled by interaction between EAI and Crypto. By leveraging AIxC’s capabilities, Faraday Future aims to:
- Accelerate value creation for its stockholders,
- Unlock new forms of collaboration between vehicle-based digital platforms and blockchain applications, and
- Enhance the innovation pipeline across both mobility and financial technology domains.
In essence, AIxC is expected to act as a digital and financial amplifier for Faraday Future’s core mobility business, extending the brand and its ecosystem into Web3-enabled services and communities.
Five Ways AIxC Could Benefit FFAI
Faraday Future has outlined five key areas where AIxC may deliver strategic benefits to FFAI by building a next-generation integrated ecosystem that fuses EAI mobility, Web3, blockchain, and crypto asset applications.
1. Financing Support
One of the most immediate and practical advantages lies in new financing channels:
- Stock tokenization and other RWA-based financing approaches could offer FFAI lower-cost, higher-efficiency, and potentially more sustainable sources of capital compared to traditional equity or debt routes.
- Tokenized instruments may enable broader global access, including participation from crypto-native investors, DeFi platforms, and global retail users that prefer on-chain financial products.
- Over time, such structures could diversify FFAI’s funding sources, reduce reliance on conventional capital markets alone, and introduce innovative forms of investor engagement such as staking, rewards, or governance-linked structures.
2. Asset Contribution and Cash Flow Support
AIxC is designed not only as a technology and tokenization vehicle but also as a potential value-generating asset for the Faraday Future ecosystem:
- Successful investments, tokenization projects, or crypto asset products created under AIxC could generate investment returns, fees, or yield streams.
- These cash flows could, in turn, contribute to FF’s broader financial resilience, helping to strengthen its balance sheet and asset base.
- As AIxC evolves, it could function as a strategic incubator whose gains support energy, mobility, and digital service expansion within FFAI.
3. Technology & Business Empowerment
Another dimension of synergy is centered on technology integration and business model innovation:
- AIxC’s roadmap includes the on-chain registration and verification of EAI EV assets, tying physical vehicles, user data, or service rights to blockchain-based identifiers or tokens.
- This could enable integrated EAI + RWA products, such as tokenized mobility access rights, usage-based digital contracts, or NFTs linked to vehicle features, performance data, or brand experiences.
- By embedding blockchain and Web3 logic into the core of EAI mobility services, FFAI could streamline transaction processes, reinforce data integrity, and enable more transparent and programmable products for users and partners.
4. User Development and Ecosystem Expansion
AIxC also opens up new avenues for user acquisition and engagement:
- Through Web3 channels—including crypto exchanges, on-chain communities, and decentralized applications—AIxC can help FFAI tap into global crypto-native traffic.
- This creates the possibility of expanding FFAI’s user ecosystem beyond traditional car buyers or mobility service users, into communities that value token-based participation, gamified experiences, and digital asset ownership.
- Over time, FFAI could blend physical and digital touchpoints—such as vehicle ownership, shared usage, and digital collectibles—into a single, more immersive ecosystem powered by AI, connectivity, and blockchain.
5. Valuation Positioning and Market Narrative
Finally, AIxC is expected to help reframe how the market perceives and values the Faraday Future ecosystem:
- By pursuing a Web3-driven narrative that emphasizes the convergence of AI, mobility, and crypto, FFAI may unlock new valuation drivers that go beyond the traditional metrics of automotive or manufacturing businesses.
- The combined proposition positions FFAI not only as an EV maker but also as a platform company at the intersection of intelligent mobility, digital finance, and blockchain-enabled services.
- If successful, this could attract strategic partners and investors who are specifically looking for exposure to the AI + Crypto convergence theme.
Strategic Incubation: AIxC as a New Growth Pathway
The investment in, and consolidation of, AIxCrypto Holdings marks another key step in Faraday Future’s strategy to incubate and scale new business initiatives around its EAI mobility ecosystem.
FF has long presented itself as more than a traditional automaker, emphasizing its role as an intelligent mobility and technology platform. The AIxC development strengthens this positioning by:
- Creating a dedicated, listed entity to explore digital finance, tokenization, and Web3 services,
- Allowing FFAI to maintain focus on core vehicle development, user operations, and EAI technologies while still benefiting from complementary innovations in the crypto space, and
- Providing a framework where new concepts can be tested, scaled, and eventually integrated back into FF’s wider ecosystem.
This approach complements other innovation-focused initiatives within FF’s portfolio.
Complementary Innovation: FX Program, AIHER Powertrain, and Financial Services
The AIxC development does not exist in isolation. It slots into a larger innovation architecture that Faraday Future has been building across several fronts:
- FX Program – FF continues to refine and expand its FX program, which focuses on ultra-premium, high-performance intelligent electric vehicles and exclusive user experiences for its “FF Developer” community. This program showcases FF’s vehicle engineering, AI capabilities, and digital service layers.
- AIHER Hybrid Extended-Range Powertrain – The Company’s AIHER powertrain initiative aims to bridge electric mobility, range extension, and intelligent energy management. As FF advances this technology, there may be opportunities to integrate token-based services around charging, energy usage, or performance data.
- New Financial Services Initiatives – Beyond traditional vehicle financing, FF is exploring financial service models that can align with its evolving user ecosystem. This may include subscription services, usage-based monetization, and, with AIxC in the picture, crypto-linked or tokenized financial products tied to mobility services or vehicle ownership.
Together, these initiatives reinforce the idea that Faraday Future is building a multi-layered ecosystem where hardware, software, AI, and now Web3/crypto components interact to create differentiated user and investor value.
Expanding the Technology Portfolio: Blockchain and Web3 Mobility Patent
Faraday Future’s ambitions in the blockchain and Web3 domain are also evident in its intellectual property strategy. The Company has recently filed a utility patent application for a blockchain- and Web3-based mobility system.
This proposed system is designed to simplify car-sharing and short-term rental functionality by using blockchain-based mechanisms to manage:
- Access and authentication,
- Usage tracking and billing, and
- Digital agreements between vehicle owners, operators, and users.
By leveraging blockchain’s immutable ledger and programmable smart contracts, FF aims to:
- Reduce complexity and friction in multi-user vehicle access scenarios,
- Enhance transparency and trust among participants, and
- Create a foundation for integrating token-based incentives, rewards, or governance into mobility services.
This patent effort aligns closely with AIxC’s mission and the broader EAI + Crypto vision. It demonstrates that FF sees blockchain not just as a financing tool, but as a core enabling technology for future mobility business models and user experiences.
