HONG KONG, Nov. 24, 2025 – Waton Financial Limited (NASDAQ: WTF), a group specializing in securities brokerage and financial technology (referred to as “Waton” or the “Company”), announced today a broadened strategic alliance with Chongqing Liangyun Zhijing Information Technology Limited (“Panda AI”), an AI agent development platform. This expanded partnership aims to explore the formation of a joint venture, contingent on future negotiations and discussions between both entities. This enhanced collaboration builds upon their prior joint effort in organizing the Global Competition for AI Agents in Securities Trading, which Waton had previously announced in a press release on November 20, 2025. Waton intends to utilize Panda AI’s artificial intelligence capabilities to bolster its proprietary DePearl™ core AI technology and AI agents for trading, with the goal of promoting the widespread adoption of automated trading strategies across institutional and retail sectors globally.
This expansion of the partnership is anticipated to accelerate Waton’s initiatives in AI-driven securities trading, as well as the creation and commercialization of forthcoming AI-powered services and products. By incorporating Panda AI’s technical expertise into Waton’s regulated financial infrastructure and trading execution capabilities, this collaboration is expected to enhance the Company’s capacity to deliver AI solutions to institutional clients. Waton foresees this strategic synergy positioning the Company as a foundational infrastructure layer connecting traditional finance with the burgeoning AI trading economy, thereby creating new revenue streams through platform monetization and deeper engagement with institutional clients.
“Our exploration of a joint venture with Panda AI underscores Waton’s steadfast commitment to spearheading the transformation of conventional finance through artificial intelligence,” stated Kai Zhou, Chairman of Waton Financial Limited. “By integrating Panda AI’s proficiency in AI agent development with Waton’s robust, regulated financial infrastructure, our objective is to drive the adoption of AI trading at an institutional level. This reinforced partnership is expected to establish Waton as a key infrastructure provider facilitating AI-native trading across its comprehensive AI roadmap and offerings, ultimately generating sustainable, long-term shareholder value.”
This collaboration highlights both companies’ dedication to establishing industry benchmarks for the development and implementation of AI agents within securities trading. As the partnership progresses towards a potential joint venture, both parties aim to expedite the global uptake of AI trading solutions while capitalizing on significant market opportunities within the rapidly expanding AI-powered fintech sector. A prospective joint venture may also extend the collaboration to encompass Waton’s wider AI product portfolio, including its InfoMan investor relations agent. This strategic expansion is projected to strengthen Waton’s competitive advantage and redefine how financial institutions interact with autonomous trading innovations.
