Fluid and AGI3 Group Announce Strategic Partnership; Kinetic Group to Acquire Up to 10% of FLUID Supply

According to Huoxing Finance, on July 24, the DeFi protocol Fluid and AGI3 Group announced a strategic ecosystem partnership through a governance proposal. Kinetic Group plans to acquire up to 10% of the total FLUID token supply through secondary market purchases and over-the-counter transactions; these tokens will not originate from the DAO treasury or team allocations. The Fluid Foundation will separately allocate 5% of FLUID tokens to establish custody with compliant private banks and institutional digital asset custodians in Switzerland, the European Union, Hong Kong, and Singapore. These tokens will be locked for at least four years until 2030. As part of the strategic partnership, AGI3 will grant the Fluid Foundation a 2% equity stake, also locked for four years. AGI3 was established under Kinetic Group, a private asset management group regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), and focuses on building integrated financial infrastructure spanning payments, banking, capital markets, and tokenization. The core product of the collaboration is AGI3 Markets, a licensed DeFi platform for institutions featuring KYC/AML compliance mechanisms, enabling lending and trading of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) such as private credit, government bonds, commodities, equities, and corporate bonds. Both parties have agreed that all protocol revenues and incentive budgets generated by AGI3 Markets will be split equally on a 50/50 basis.
