Shineco Launches First Blockchain-Based Cell Asset Tokenization Platform and Acquires Xi'an Dong'ao Health Management Co.

Shineco launches the world's first blockchain-based cell asset tokenization platform in partnership with Plus Me Limited. The platform involves the creation of "Cell Infusion Redemption Tokens" on the Ethereum mainnet for digital custody and trading of cellular assets. Shineco also acquired a 51% stake in Xi'an Dong'ao Health Management Co., bolstering its global network for cell storage and infusion. The platform aims to disrupt traditional biotech marketing models and create a new paradigm where each cell can be a liquid, programmable asset.

Shineco Inc. (NASDAQ: SISI) has made a significant stride in the biotech sector by announcing a groundbreaking partnership with Plus Me Limited to launch the world's first blockchain-based cell asset tokenization platform. The initiative involves the creation of "Cell Infusion Redemption Tokens" on the Ethereum mainnet, enabling digital custody and trading of biological cellular assets [1].

Under this partnership, Plus Me Limited will issue tokens that can be redeemed at Shineco-affiliated therapy centers. These tokens follow ERC-1400/ERC-20 standards and are programmatically burned upon redemption, ensuring that the tokens are not reused and maintaining scarcity [1]. The platform aims to address industry challenges such as high user costs, product provenance verification, and illiquid asset pools [1].

To support this initiative, Shineco has acquired a 51% stake in Xi’an Dong’ao Health Management Co., a specialist in cryogenic cell storage and clinical applications. This acquisition provides the physical infrastructure needed for token redemption and strengthens Shineco's global network for cell storage and infusion [1]. The strategic acquisition, combined with its existing Singapore-based Infiniclone operations, establishes a comprehensive infrastructure for token redemption and asset settlement [2].

The platform utilizes ERC-1400/ERC-20 compliant security tokens, with smart contracts ensuring asset ownership rights and regulatory compliance through non-fungible digital identifiers (NFDIs). The ecosystem aims to transform traditional biotech marketing models while addressing industry challenges such as high costs and illiquid asset pools [2].

Shineco’s new platform represents a fundamental transformation of its business model, transitioning from a traditional biotech service provider to an infrastructure layer for a decentralized cell economy. The partnership with Plus Me Limited introduces several technical innovations with practical applications, including the implementation of non-fungible digital identifiers (NFDIs) on Ethereum's mainnet, which creates immutable proof of cellular asset ownership and provenance [2].

The strategic acquisition of a 51% controlling stake in Xi'an Dong'ao Health Management demonstrates Shineco's execution capability beyond conceptual planning. This acquisition, combined with their previously acquired Singapore firm Infiniclone, establishes a critical global network that bridges the gap between digital tokens and physical cellular assets, solving the 'last mile' problem that has plagued many real-world asset (RWA) tokenization projects [2].

The business model innovation centers on transforming cellular assets into programmable financial instruments while maintaining biological integrity. The token burning mechanism upon redemption creates engineered scarcity that could potentially drive token value appreciation. The open ecosystem approach, where Shineco provides physical infrastructure while Plus Me delivers the tokenization layer, creates network effects that could scale more rapidly than a closed system [2].

This initiative reflects broader market trends where RWA tokenization is gaining institutional adoption, though regulatory frameworks remain inconsistent across jurisdictions. The inclusion of governance rights through future DAO voting indicates an evolving business structure that may decentralize certain decision-making processes while maintaining corporate control of critical infrastructure [2].
