Kaixin Holdings Announces Acquisition of XINGCAN, Launching AI Education Business
BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaixin Holdings (“Kaixin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: KXIN) today announced the signing of a term sheet with XINGCAN, a leading Chinese AI education innovation company. Kaixin plans to issue new shares to acquire a 55% stake in XINGCAN. The transaction marks the in-depth collaboration between the two parties, focusing on the global development of the "AI + Education + Live Streaming" ecosystem and accelerating the intelligent upgrade of the education industry.
XINGCAN has established a leading position in AI education, with a focus on the deep integration of "live streaming + education." The business model furnishes both a high-frequency entry point for users to acquire knowledge and a central hub in the closed loop of educational services. XINGCAN has built a full-chain educational ecosystem covering "content production + live streaming interaction + teaching services + user growth." Its core capabilities are comprised of three pillars:
- Intelligent Education Engine: A proprietary AI customer acquisition system that enables automatic course content generation (scripts/materials), real-time optimization of livestream interactions (emotion recognition + script suggestions), and intelligent analysis of student learning data (LTV prediction + personalized recommendations).
- AI Education Ecosystem: A closed-loop ecosystem of "content + traffic + service + technology” with livestreaming as the core scenario, featuring four business modules: IP incubation (paid teachers), course delivery (recorded/livestream classes), user management (private domain SaaS tools), and technology empowerment (intelligent teaching assistants answering questions).
- Knowledge Creator Network: Using AI tools to lower the barrier to knowledge production, it has incubated numerous teacher IPs across diverse sectors, covering K-12, vocational education, and adult hobbies, serving over 300,000 users annually and boasting 300% improvement in teaching efficiency.
Xingcan's past investors include such big names as Zhu Xiaohu of GSR Ventures, Xiangfeng Fund, Himalaya, Kinzon Capital, and Century Tianhong, an A-share listed company, etc.
Mr. Mingjun Lin, Chairman and CEO of Kaixin, stated, "XINGCAN is not a simple education technology company; it’s a leading builder of the 'AI + Education + Live Streaming' ecosystem. We will leverage resource collaboration (traffic portals, technology platforms, and global channels, etc.) to help XINGCAN accelerate its development into a premium firm in the global AI education ecosystem."
Through the cooperation with Kaixin to take advantage of its resources in traffic matrix, technical middle platform, and global channels, XINGCAN will utilize the trio of "technology + content + ecology" to conduct in-depth iterations across four core dimensions: educational services, IP incubation, live broadcast operations, and AI empowerment, and accelerate the realization of the "three-year triple jump" performance goal, achieving a 50% expected annual growth rate over the next few years.
