Expanding Web3 ambitions via a partnership with IoTeX, U Power moves forward in its mission.
U Power Limited, a NASDAQ-listed company specializing in AI-enhanced energy systems for electric vehicles, has announced a significant partnership with IoTeX and HabitTrade. This collaboration aims to tokenize real-world assets (RWAs), such as EV battery-swapping and charging stations, and integrate blockchain and AI technologies to create a smart, connected, and sustainable ecosystem for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure.
Under the terms of the agreement, IoTeX will purchase RWAs issued by U Power, backed by corporate bonds, and convert these physical assets into transparent, scalable digital tokens on the blockchain. This move enables secure, efficient investment and capital support for expanding EV infrastructure.
The integration of AI and blockchain is another key aspect of the partnership. By combining U Power’s AI-powered battery-swapping technology (UOTTA™) with IoTeX’s decentralized IoT platform, the collaboration facilitates real-time tracking and monitoring of battery health, safety, and energy consumption. This improvement in operational reliability and sustainability is expected to be a significant advantage for the EV industry.
HabitTrade, an international multi-asset trading platform, will act as the structuring and execution agent for integrating equity with tokenized assets in this partnership. Their role involves providing technical and strategic assistance for the compliant, smooth integration of tokenized assets and equity transactions, ensuring regulatory efficiency and transaction security.
U Power's leadership has stated that this collaboration aligns with the firm's Web3 aspirations, focusing on developing a decentralized ecosystem around battery-token and battery-bank applications. The company anticipates that this initiative will strengthen its capital structure and accelerate the advancement of its electric vehicle battery-swapping technology, UOTTA.
Market analysts at InvestingPro have noted a 124% revenue growth for U Power over the past twelve months. However, despite this growth, U Power continues to face challenges related to cash flow sustainability and profitability. The partnership with IoTeX and HabitTrade is expected to play a significant role in addressing these challenges.
This latest collaboration between U Power, IoTeX, and HabitTrade reflects a growing trend among technology firms seeking to redefine legacy asset structures and operations through tokenization and intelligent automation. The expected benefits include real-time asset tracking, enhanced safety, energy efficiency, and performance monitoring of batteries through decentralized IoT infrastructure combined with AI capabilities.
