Proposed Investment Targets On-Chain Tokenized U.S. Equity Perpetuals and AI Trading Infrastructure
Guangzhou, China, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Youxin Technology Ltd (Nasdaq: YAAS) (“Youxin Technology” or the “Company”), a software as a service (“SaaS”) and platform as a service (“PaaS”) provider committed to helping retail enterprises digitally transform their businesses, today announced that it has signed a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with RiverBit Holding Limited (“RiverBit”), pursuant to which the Company intends to make a strategic investment in RiverBit and acquire a minority equity interest upon RiverBit’s achievement of certain operating milestones. RiverBit is developing a decentralized perpetual contracts trading platform expected to launch in mid-August 2026. The planned platform is designed to support tokenized U.S. equity perpetual contracts, AI Agent-enabled trading strategies, blockchain-based self-custody and 24/7 on-chain trading and settlement capabilities, while seeking to provide continuous market access and price discovery through blockchain infrastructure.
Under the non-binding Term Sheet, RiverBit is expected to reach an average of 2,000 daily users and exceed US
Decentralized perpetual exchanges (“Perp DEXs”) have become one of the fastest-growing sectors of blockchain-based financial infrastructure. According to CoinGecko’s State of Crypto Perpetuals Report 2026, Perp DEXs processed approximately US
According to RiverBit, its planned platform is designed around four core capabilities:
- Open Alpha AI Agent: Featuring a natural language AI-enabled trading interface, strategy builder, market intelligence, task queue, and auto-execution modules, designed to lower the barrier for users to configure and execute on-chain trading strategies with AI.
- RiverBit DEX: A planned zero-gas, millisecond-level, on-chain order-book trading venue supporting long/short perpetual contracts, self-custody and transparent clearing and settlement.
- EWMA 24/7 Pricing Oracle: A planned continuous pricing framework using external institutional quotes, exponentially weighted moving average (“EWMA”) smoothing and multi-validator on-chain confirmation to provide reference pricing during traditional U.S. equity market closing hours.
- RiverBit Pool Market-Maker Vaults: A planned vault model designed to establish dedicated liquidity vaults for different stock pairs and allow market makers, quantitative teams and ordinary deposit users to participate in on-chain market-making revenue sharing.
RiverBit expects to differentiate its platform from competitors by focusing on tokenized U.S. equity perpetuals, AI Agent-enabled trading access and diversified market-maker vaults designed to improve liquidity and capital efficiency for individual stock pairs. The platform will be available to users across compliant jurisdictions worldwide, while access will be restricted for users in countries and regions where local laws and regulations prohibit such services. Compliance remains the company’s absolute top priority.
Youxin Technology believes that signing the Term Sheet aligns with the Company’s strategy of expanding digital capabilities, AI application scenarios and platform-oriented businesses. The Company believes the proposed investment, if completed, may support several strategic objectives, including:
- Early strategic exposure to on-chain RWA and tokenized U.S. equity perpetual markets;
- Exploration of AI Agent application in financial technology, data analytics, strategy execution and automated operations;
- Enhancing the Company’s positioning in digital assets, Web3 financial infrastructure and global technology ecosystems;
- Managing initial risk via the milestone-based investment structure while allowing expanded participation after RiverBit reaches key operating metrics; and
- Potential future synergies across SaaS/PaaS solutions, AI tools, data services and blockchain applications.
Mr. Shaozhang Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Youxin Technology, commented, “We have been closely following how AI may reshape enterprise software, digital operations and fintech applications. RiverBit’s plan sits at the intersection of tokenized U.S. equities, AI Agent-driven trading and on-chain perpetual contracts. The proposed investment framework allows us to monitor RiverBit’s launch performance, user growth and trading volume validation while managing risks. Subject to due diligence, definitive agreements and required approvals, should RiverBit successfully reach key milestones, we expect to participate in its long-term growth.”
A representative of RiverBit commented, “We believe the future trading interface will extend beyond traditional screens, and will increasingly rely on AI Agents that understand user intent, construct strategies and execute automatically. RiverBit plans to combine this AI trading interface with an on-chain order book, EWMA pricing oracle and market-maker vaults to provide a new tokenized U.S. equity perpetuals trading experience for global users.”
The Term Sheet described in this press release is non-binding and does not constitute a binding acquisition or investment commitment unless and until the parties enter into definitive transaction documents. The Company cannot assure that RiverBit will launch as planned or that RiverBit will achieve any user, trading volume, valuation or financing target.
