What is the deep connection between Jia Yueting and AIxC? How exactly does AIXC Hub work?
Written by: KarenZ, Foresight News
At the start of 2026, Jia Yueting is up to his old tricks again!
When Jia Yueting is mentioned, the keywords that come to mind are probably still his dedication to the car manufacturing industry, the media hype of "returning to China next week," or the tug-of-war between debt repayment and delivery. But now, he has quietly launched a second front—AIxC is making new moves in the "AI + Web3" field.
So, what is the deep connection between Jia Yueting and AIXC? What is AIXC's strategic landscape? And how exactly does AIXC Hub, the prediction competition portal that's been trending today, work?
Before proceeding, it's important to note that prediction markets are heavily influenced by global regulatory policies. Furthermore, FF continues to face operating losses, and the synergistic effects of AIxC with FF's ecosystem, as well as the progress of RWA's tokenization, remain uncertain. (DYOR)
What is the deep connection between Jia Yueting and AIxC?
AIxC (AIxCrypto Holdings), formerly known as Qualigen Therapeutics, was a clinical-stage cancer treatment company that underwent restructuring and name change in November 2025, with its stock ticker changing from QLGN to AIXC. The company has completely transformed into an AI + Blockchain + Web3 focused company, 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 was directly led by Jia Yueting, founder and co-CEO of Faraday Future (FF). He not only personally appeared in New York in November 2025 as the chief advisor of AIxC to support the renaming and listing of AIXC, but also positioned it as a core pillar of FF's global strategy.
In terms of shareholding structure, Faraday Future, as the controlling shareholder of AIxC, directly holds approximately 55% of the shares. If related shareholders such as Jia Yueting and FF Global President Jerry Wang are included, the total shareholding increases to approximately 63%, further consolidating Jia Yueting's core control over AIxC.
The capital base for this transformation can be traced back to September 2025, when FF made a strategic investment in QLGN through a private equity investment (PIPE), leading a financing round totaling approximately $41 million. Of this, FF invested approximately $30 million, acquiring beneficial ownership of 55% of its issued common stock; Jia Yueting personally invested $4 million, holding approximately 7% of the shares. Other investors included the SIGN Foundation, Sequoia Capital (US, India, China), IDG and Circle, and FF Global President Jerry Wang. Jerry Wang will also serve as co-CEO of QLGN.
AIxC's Three Core Development Pillars
To achieve ecosystem synergy, Jia Yueting proposed the "FFAI + AIXC" dual-flywheel architecture: FFAI, with its core physical assets such as smart electric vehicles, builds a vast user ecosystem; AIxC, on the other hand, empowers FFAI through Web3, supporting innovative scenarios such as cryptocurrency car purchases and FFAI stock tokenization, forming a two-way driven pattern of "physical ecosystem + digital tools." Around this architecture, AIxC has established three core development pillars:
- BesTrade DeAI Agent & Web3 AI Terminal : This includes the BesTrade DeAI Agent, a one-stop aggregation trading portal responsible for intelligent aggregation, AI decision-making, copy trading, and execution; the Web3 Store, a unified portal for the Web3 application ecosystem, enabling Web3 applications to be installed and used as easily as the App Store; and the Web3 AI Terminal, an on-chain native smart device.
- Web3 Embedded AI (EAI) + RWA Ecosystem 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 shares to explore digital asset products, including tokenizing the purchased shares, which will become the underlying assets for AIxC's first tokenized RWA product.
- AI-powered management of crypto assets and the C10 index .
Before discussing how AIXC Hub works, let's clarify a key background point. AIxC may be a crucial step for Jia Yueting to alleviate FF's financial difficulties. After all, FF is currently under considerable pressure from operating losses, with a single-quarter operating loss of $206.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, and a cumulative loss of $357 million in the first three quarters. Although it has covered operating expenses for six consecutive quarters through frequent financing, raising $135.8 million in the first three quarters, relying on financing to "infuse" capital is not a sustainable solution. The launch of AIxC and Hub products is seen as Jia Yueting opening up a "second battlefield" for FF, attempting to use the popularity of the digital ecosystem to support the main car manufacturing business.
AIXC Hub User Guide
To revitalize the ecosystem, AIxC has launched the official Twitter account of the AIXC Foundation and launched its core ecosystem product, AIXC Hub, on the evening of January 7.
As the core portal for predictions and competitions within the AIxC ecosystem, AIXC Hub adopts a seasonal operating model, with each season featuring a unique theme and rules, and a complete points, ranking, and reward system.
I. Core Gameplay: Season 1 Rules
AIXC Hub Season 1 (S1) uses the AIxC C10 Index as its core benchmark. Users only need to make directional predictions about the index's trend (upward/downward) to participate in accumulating points. Season 1 will last for one month.
The AIXC C10 Index is a basket of ten cryptocurrencies (excluding stablecoins) compiled by AIxC. It uses a market capitalization-weighted calculation method and sets a 50% weight cap for any single asset to ensure diversification and reduce risk. The index undergoes a monthly weight rebalancing, dynamically adjusting the proportion of constituent assets based on market fluctuations to ensure the index's representativeness.
II. How to Earn Points
- C10 Index Prediction : 10 base points are awarded for an accurate prediction, no points are awarded for an incorrect prediction. Each account can participate in 100 predictions per day, once every 10 seconds. Consecutive accurate predictions will trigger a winning streak bonus. Each round of predictions is independent.
- Daily tasks : You can earn extra points by completing daily check-ins, submitting 10 predictions, or posting related analysis content on Twitter (requires tagging @aixc_official and @aixcfoundation).
- Team gameplay : Users can create their own teams or join existing teams (each team has a limit of 1-500 people). The team's total score is the sum of the individual scores of all members, which helps the team to sprint for ranking rewards.
- Hidden missions : Hidden missions will be unlocked periodically.
III. Season Reward System
- Season S1 established an ecosystem incentive pool with a total value of over $2 million, with rewards including cash and points redemption rights, catering to both individual and team needs:
- Individual Rewards: The top 50 participants in the individual rankings of the season will receive rewards based on their rankings.
- Team Rewards: All team members will receive a 1.1x base reward multiplier; the team ranked first, second, and third will receive member reward multipliers of 5x, 3x, and 2x respectively.
- Exclusive Honors: After the season ends, AIxC will invite top individual participants and team captains to Los Angeles, USA, to participate in an exclusive pinnacle honor ceremony.
summary
Clearly, Jia Yueting is using AIxC to upgrade his role from "car maker" to "AI+ digital ecosystem builder," intending to make AIxC the "entry point to the AI Web3 world."
For outsiders, is this the "life-saving solution" that Jia Yueting has found for FF, or the beginning of another capital game? AIXC Hub's S1 season may be the first touchstone to test its ability to generate revenue through its ecosystem.
