AiRWA Inc. (YYAI) presents a compelling asymmetric opportunity: trading at a ~65% discount to cash value ($1.08 vs. ~$3.08/share), with an undiscovered catalyst emerging from SEC-verified connections to an $893 million PIPE transaction. The CEO simultaneously serves as Director of StablecoinX, creating potential ecosystem integration that the market has not yet priced.
Key Findings
YYAI trades at $1.08 per share while holding an estimated ~$129.5 million in cash (~$3.08/share based on 42.1M shares), representing a ~65% discount to cash alone, before considering any operating business value.
Thomas Tarala simultaneously serves as CEO of YYAI, Director of StablecoinX (TLGY), and Director of Core AI Holdings (CHAI). This triple role is explicitly disclosed in StablecoinX's Schedule 14A Definitive Proxy Statement filed February 18, 2026.
On December 22, 2025, YYAI sold 15,382,378 shares (40.6% of the company) at $1.02 to "nine accredited investors" whose identities remain undisclosed. Proceeds designated for "previously announced joint venture" development.
StablecoinX shareholder vote scheduled for March 10, 2026. Upon approval, the combined entity lists on Nasdaq under ticker USDE with access to 3.03 billion ENA tokens and $893 million in PIPE funding.
Chairman Hongyu Zhou has invested ~$7.64 million, accumulating 5,816,489 shares representing ~13.8% ownership (SEC Form 4 verified). His aggressive January 2026 buying—seven separate purchases—demonstrates conviction in the company's value.
SEC filings reveal PIPE investors acquired 914 million ENA tokens at $0.29/token ($265M total). Carnegie Park Capital confirmed as SPAC sponsor. Same institutional playbook of discounted entry being applied across Ethena ecosystem.

Expected Value Analysis
| Scenario | Probability | Price Target | Weighted Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Integration (Cash Floor) | 25% | $2.50-$3.00 | $0.69 |
| JuCoin Lists USDe/ENA | 40% | $4.00-$5.00 | $1.80 |
| JuCoin + Strategic Investment | 20% | $6.00-$8.00 | $1.40 |
| Full Ecosystem Integration | 10% | $10.00-$15.00 | $1.25 |
| Short Squeeze | 5% | $15.00-$25.00 | $1.00 |
| EXPECTED VALUE | 100% | $6.14 | 469% Return |
Downside: The stock is already trading at 69% discount to cash. Even if nothing happens, cash provides a floor around $2.50-$3.00 (still 2-3x upside).
Upside: If ANY integration scenario materializes, the stock re-rates to $4-$8+. If short squeeze occurs (estimated 20-27M synthetic shorts), price could exceed $15. This is a "heads I win big, tails I still win" setup.
Critical Dates
YYAI is NOT mentioned in StablecoinX's S-4 filing. There is NO announced partnership. Tarala owns ZERO equity in StablecoinX—he serves purely as an independent director. The integration scenarios discussed in this research are logical possibilities based on disclosed capabilities, not confirmed plans. The thesis relies on the probability these synergies materialize, not certainty.
