FTFT Hong Kong Subsidiary Launches AI Application for Investment Analytics and Trading

NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Future FinTech Group Inc. (NASDAQ: FTFT), (hereinafter referred to as "Future FinTech", "FTFT" or the "Company"), a comprehensive financial and digital technology service provider, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, FTFT International Securities & Futures Co., Ltd. ("Future Securities"), has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with MaxQuant AI. As per the agreement, the two parties plan to jointly explore cooperation in financial product innovation and to create an AI-driven intelligence system in financial services to enhance investor experiences.

As a licensed firm with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), Future Securities holds Type 1 (Securities Trading), Type 2 (Futures Trading) and Type 4 (Advisory Services for Securities Transactions) qualifications. With over 15 years of experience, Future Securities has assembled a team of highly knowledgeable investment professionals. The MaxQuant AI platform is operated by seasoned IT professionals and a top-tier AI team. After three years of collaboration, the two firms have refined an AI-based sophisticated stock selection platform that upholds the highest standards of professionalism while ensuring regulatory compliance for global investors. In addition, Future Securities plans to launch a '6-Months Free' trial usage campaign for the MaxQuant AI platform, which will allow investors to access all of the platform's features free during this period.

The Company believes that the MaxQuant AI platform is a trailblazer in AI applications. Its core technologies include (1) a robust News Intelligence Engine that conducts precise asset analysis and captures real-time market trends, (2) a Predictive Analytics Core that utilizes multi-agent AI systems to generate trading signals, and (3) Cross-Asset Intelligence that analyzes equities, commodities, forex and cryptocurrencies simultaneously to identify potential investment opportunities.

Though investing involves risks, and there is no guarantee of investment performance, during internal testing the MaxQuant AI platform demonstrated exceptional accuracy in identifying investment opportunities. The platform not only detects critical timing points (such as buy signals, stop-loss levels, and profit-taking points) to help investors lock in gains and mitigate risk, but also provides data-driven decision-making support through big data analytics. Future Securities believes that its responsiveness to market fluctuations and predictive accuracy far surpass traditional manual analysis methods. With extensive experience in the financial services industry, Future Securities applies its financial expertise and extensive resources to deliver comprehensive and personalized decision-making support to its clients, and the MaxQuant AI platform has been developed to leverage these capabilities.

Jeffery Zeng, founder of the MaxQuant AI platform, expressed strong anticipation for this collaboration, "With the rapid advancement of fintech, AI applications in the financial sector are expanding significantly. This partnership with Future Securities not only represents a strategic move to complement each party's strengths and achieve mutual benefits, but it will also inject fresh momentum into the digital transformation and the innovative development of the financial services industry. We are confident that our partnership will create greater value for investors, enable our technology to be deployed across broader financial scenarios, and drive more innovation and transformative changes in the market."

Hu Li, CEO of FTFT, commented, "Our collaboration with MaxQuant AI marks a significant strategic move for our fintech initiative. By combining our respective strengths, we aim to deliver more value-added investment services and drive industry innovation. For investors, the AI system serves not only as an investment assistant but also as a learning companion. We believe that the deployment of AI technology will enhance Future Securities' competitiveness in the marketplace and generate sustained economic benefits."
