Blockchain start-up FLock said it has been appointed the Hong Kong government’s official AI training partner, giving the two-year-old platform a high-profile endorsement for its privacy-preserving, federated-learning technology. The company also announced a strategic agreement with CIMG Inc., a Nasdaq-listed digital media firm, to co-develop LifeNode, an AI-assisted wellness monitoring and recommendation product. As part of the collaboration, CIMG is considering adding FLOCK tokens to its corporate treasury and will tap FLock’s AI Arena and FL Alliance services to expand its existing business model. Investor enthusiasm has lifted the FLOCK token about 30% over the past 24 hours, pushing its fully diluted market capitalization to roughly US$48.6 million, according to data tracker GeckoTerminal. The token was listed Tuesday on decentralized exchange AerodromeFi, broadening access for holders and liquidity providers.
