All In FutureTech Alliance Accelerates AI Infrastructure Plans with Hainan Project and HyalRoute Acquisition
All In FutureTech Alliance Inc. (Nasdaq: AIFA), formerly Allied Gaming & Entertainment Inc., is doubling down on its AI ambitions, announcing a bold expansion of its silicon‑photonics supercomputing hub in Hainan and a move to secure a controlling stake in the ASEAN‑wide fiber‑optic network operator HyalRoute.
The company said it is shifting the Hainan initiative from a standalone compute center to a broader “AIFA Digital Industrial Park.” The park will house silicon‑photonics compute nodes, distributed storage, cross‑border fiber connectivity, international data transmission, and an AI application incubation zone. The proposed supercomputing facility will occupy AIFA’s industrial land in Qingshui Bay, Lingshui, within the Hainan Free Trade Port—a zone that offers tax incentives, duty‑free import of advanced equipment and pilot programs for cross‑border data flows.
James Li, AIFA’s chairman and CEO, emphasized that the firm is “accelerating project planning, policy coordination, financing arrangements and cross‑border resource integration around its dual‑engine strategy of an AI infrastructure network powered by optical technologies and an AI application services matrix.” Li added that the company is “actively screening, evaluating, and advancing multiple potential projects” and will “make disclosures as appropriate based on the actual progress of relevant transactions and projects.”
On June 5, Li met with senior executives from Morgan Stanley at the firm’s Hong Kong headquarters and a delegation from the Lingshui government of Hainan Province. The discussion focused on the park’s overall layout, implementation pathway, resource coordination, potential policy support, and financing arrangements. AIFA plans to secure financing through multiple institutions, including Morgan Stanley, to fund the park’s construction.
In parallel, AIFA is moving forward with regulatory approvals for its announced acquisition of a controlling interest in HyalRoute. HyalRoute operates a pan‑ASEAN fiber‑optic network, the AAE‑1 submarine cable, and related cross‑border optical transmission capabilities. The company has signed equity acquisition agreements with HyalRoute shareholders, but the deal remains subject to closing conditions, regulatory approvals in China, the United States and other jurisdictions, and customary governance arrangements. AIFA is also engaging HyalRoute’s management to discuss post‑closing arrangements and is requesting additional information from shareholders for due diligence.
AIFA is evaluating several mergers and acquisitions in AI application sectors—including AI education, AI poker, AI drones, and related hardware and software projects. The firm also plans a near‑term board reorganization to bring in professionals aligned with its new strategic direction and to strengthen capabilities in AI applications, AI infrastructure and optical communications.
The company’s transformation from a global experiential entertainment business to a technology platform is driven by the two core engines described above. It aims to build an integrated ecosystem that combines AI compute capacity, fiber‑optic network infrastructure and AI‑enabled services.
At this stage, the Hainan project remains in the planning and approval phase, and the HyalRoute acquisition is pending regulatory clearance. AIFA will provide further updates as the approval and closing processes progress. The company’s next milestones will include the completion of regulatory approvals for the HyalRoute transaction, the finalization of financing arrangements for the Hainan digital industrial park, and the formalization of its board and management changes. Investors and analysts will watch for announcements related to these developments and any subsequent earnings reports or shareholder votes.
