Eightco Holdings Partners with Futurum Group to Launch AI Trust Scoring Platform
- Stock Surge: Eightco Holdings Inc. shares rose 18.44% in after-hours trading to $1.66 following the announcement of a strategic partnership with Futurum Group, indicating strong market optimism about the collaboration.
- Trust Scoring Platform Development: The companies will jointly develop the Futurum ORBS Trust and Authentication Platform (FOTAP), touted as the first comprehensive trust scoring system for AI solution providers, addressing a significant market gap and enhancing transparency.
- Diversified Revenue Model: FOTAP's business model will enable enterprises to purchase trust intelligence to mitigate AI investment risks, while vendors can pay for certification to distinguish themselves in a crowded market, potentially creating multiple revenue streams for the company.
- Share Buyback Program: Eightco's board approved a share buyback program of up to $125 million, expected to be executed by late December 2025, aimed at enhancing shareholder value and stabilizing the stock price.

Palantir Faces Downward Pressure on Stock Price
- Stock Decline: Palantir has started 2026 on a weak note, with shares down about 7% year-to-date as investors question its high valuation, potentially leading to further downward pressure on the stock price.
- Significant Revenue Growth: Despite challenges, Palantir reported a staggering 63% year-over-year revenue growth in Q3 2023, driven by strong demand for its AI platform, with U.S. commercial revenue soaring 121% year-over-year, laying a solid foundation for future growth.
