The agreement establishes a long-term partnership to develop a trusted, compliant, and interoperable blockchain ecosystem enhanced by AI capabilities. AlphaMove and Guangxi Research Department will jointly explore applications in asset pricing, risk management, and regulatory monitoring, while applying blockchain to tokenized real-world assets such as real estate, private credit, corporate equity and more. The partnership also calls for the setting up of AI and Blockchain research laboratories in both Nanning (capital city in Guangxi, China) and Kuala Lumpur, creating cross-border innovation hubs that strengthen China–Malaysia and wider ASEAN digital cooperation.
