DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Robo.ai Inc. (NASDAQ:AIIO) and UAE regulated digital asset custodian Changer.ae today jointly unveil "Roboy339", the world's first smart vehicle to be equipped with its own digital wallet, in TOKEN2049.
In August 2025, Robo.ai and Changer.ae signed a strategic memorandum of understanding to co-innovate in the infrastructure of compliant wallets and digital accounts. This joint unveiling at TOKEN2049 represents significant milestone in that collaboration, and it also underscores Robo.ai's strategic progress in deploying "smart machine × compliant stablecoin capability" in the Middle East. As an entity under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) , Changer.ae provides regulated virtual asset custody, forming the foundational support for device-level financial functionality.
The Roboy339's compliant digital wallet enables autonomous real-time payments for tolls, charging, maintenance, and leasing, while also processing authorized income and transactions. This represents a practical implementation of embedded finance, integrating financial services (payments, credit, insurance, etc.) into non-financial products to enhance efficiency and diversify revenue streams. The solution provides standardized compliant financial interfaces and auditable transaction loops for fleet management, automakers, mobility services, and the broader IoT industry, supporting scalable deployment across regions. Future expansion plans include connecting eVTOLs, autonomous taxis, and logistics vehicles to the ecosystem to develop new business models based on verified data and token economics.
Changer.ae's Senior Executive Officer Wang Hao, CFA commented, "We are pleased to support Robo.ai's innovation with underlying security and custody capabilities under the ADGM regulatory framework. The integration of blockchain and compliant architecture is one of the key pathways to enable financial sovereignty for smart machines."
Robo.ai CEO Benjamin Zhai added, "The era of autonomous economics for intelligent devices is upon us. The name Roboy339 is derived from the last three digits of its unique VIN number — it is not only its bank account but also its digital ID. With the support of investors, partners, manufacturers, financial institutions, and regulators, Robo.ai stands at the intersection of the 'machine economy' and the 'digital economy'."
In the Web3 and DePIN (decentralized physical infrastructure network) domain, Robo.ai has made a multi-million dollar strategic investment in Arkreen to advance the integration of "intelligent machine × DePIN × asset tokenization." Arkreen, a leading DePIN ecosystem platform, provides critical decentralized infrastructure for device-level financial innovation such as that embodied by Roboy339.
The synergy between Arkreen's decentralized architecture and Changer.ae's regulatory custody underpins the safe, transparent, and compliant embedded finance ecosystem built for Roboy339. Looking ahead, Robo.ai intends to onboard additional devices such as eVTOLs, robotaxis, and unmanned logistics vehicles onto the on-chain ecosystem, exploring innovative business models founded on authenticated data and token economies. Roboy339 is the strategic embodiment of this plan — evolving the vehicle from a "passive tool" into an "autonomous economic agent."
Robo.ai recently announced that it has secured approximately USD 300 million in strategic investment from U.S. investment firm Burkhan Capital LLC — fueling momentum for the productization and commercialization of its three strategic pillars: AI software, intelligent hardware, and smart assets. This funding also supports Robo.ai's continued investments in next-generation areas including autonomous driving, intelligent commercial vehicles, and eVTOL solutions.
