AIxCrypto announces 'Hub Season 2' launch
AIxCrypto Inc. (NASDAQ: AIXC), a technology company focused on Embodied AI infrastructure, shared a business update from its Co-CEO, Jerry Wang. The company announced the launch of AIxC Hub – Season 2, as part of an expansion of its ecosystem.
- The launch of Hub Season 2 is part of AIxCrypto's broader "AI × Crypto × RWA" strategy, which focuses on the tokenization of Real World Assets and Embodied AI (EAI). The company, which rebranded from Qualigen Therapeutics in 2024, aims to use the Hub as a gamified gateway to introduce users to these concepts. - Season 2 aims to evolve the Hub from an engagement platform, which attracted over 1.64 million registered wallets in its first season, into a "Web2-to-Web3 super gateway" that is powered by an AI Agent infrastructure. This aligns with a broader enterprise SaaS trend where autonomous AI agents are being integrated to replace manual workflows in platforms like Zendesk and Workday. - The company's focus on "Embodied AI" refers to integrating AI into physical systems like robots or autonomous vehicles, allowing them to interact with and learn from the physical world via sensors and motors. AIxCrypto has a non-binding letter of intent with FF EAI-Robotics to explore using robotics as physical gateways, or DePIN endpoints, for its on-chain ecosystem. - This move occurs as programmatic advertising, a key area for the target user, is increasingly dominated by AI for targeting and optimization. The adtech industry is also grappling with signal loss from cookie deprecation, forcing a strategic shift toward first-party data and alternative ID solutions for 2026. - In the London tech ecosystem, AI startups raised a record $3.5 billion in VC funding in 2024. However, overall UK startup funding has seen a 19.35% year-over-year drop as of February 2026, with $2.78 billion raised across 144 rounds compared to $3.45 billion in the same period of 2025. - A notable recent CTO hire in the UK was Zurich's appointment of former HSBC technology leader Asha Kumar as its first Chief Technology Officer in October 2025, tasked with accelerating the company's adoption of AI. - For personal interest, the 2026 Formula 1 season is undergoing pre-season testing in Bahrain ahead of a major regulatory change to car and engine design. The new rules significantly increase the power unit's electrical energy output, forcing drivers to adapt to aggressive energy management techniques.
