Figma Shares Indicated To Open $105/$110
SHANGHAI - U Power Limited (NASDAQ:UCAR), a small-cap company with a market value of $17.48 million and significant revenue growth of 124% in the last twelve months, announced Wednesday it has signed a memorandum of understanding with blockchain platform IoTex for the purchase of real-world assets backed by corporate bonds issued by U Power.
Under the strategic partnership, both companies will explore tokenization solutions for these assets, incorporating AI technologies for asset management. The agreement is expected to strengthen U Power’s capital structure while supporting the development of its UOTTA electric vehicle battery-swapping technology. According to InvestingPro analysis, this move comes as the company faces challenges with cash burn and maintaining profitability, though it maintains a healthy current ratio of 1.85.
"This partnership with IoTeX supports U Power’s Web 3.0 initiative for the expansion of our battery-token and battery-bank operations," said Johnny Lee, CEO and Chairman of U Power.
The collaboration includes HabitTrade, a global multi-asset trading platform, which will serve as the structuring and execution agent for the token-equity integration.
U Power describes itself as a provider of AI-integrated energy solutions connecting electric vehicles with energy infrastructure. IoTex, founded in 2017, focuses on transforming machine-generated data into collective intelligence for AI applications.
The announcement comes as U Power shifts its business focus from being primarily a distributor of battery-swapping stations to providing comprehensive AI-integrated solutions for energy grids and transportation systems.
