New feature integrates research, market intelligence, and portfolio analysis through brokerage platforms connectivity, serving over 400 million investors

NEW YORK, NY., June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aether Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATHR) ("Aether" or the "Company"), an emerging technology platform focused on AI-powered financial intelligence, today announced the official launch of Alphid.ai ("Alphid"), now enhanced with brokerage connectivity capabilities designed to simplify and accelerate investment research while delivering portfolio intelligence and personalized insights to investors.

"When we opened the waitlist last month, the demand for Alphid among individual investors was extremely strong," said Aryan Liaghat, Head of Product of Aether Holdings. "Today, we are thrilled to officially launch Alphid. The strong response reinforces our belief that demand is growing for agentic AI products that make investing smarter, faster, and more connected."

Through secure integration, Alphid connects to more than 30 leading brokerage firms and financial platforms and is available to investors across platforms serving over 400 million users.

The addition of brokerage connectivity advances Alphid from a standalone research platform into a portfolio-aware investing intelligence solution. By integrating portfolio holdings and trading history with market data, news and AI-powered analysis into a single platform, Alphid delivers personalized insights tailored to each investor's objectives, risk profile and trading behavior.

These tailored insights help users better understand their asset allocation, portfolio diversification, concentration and sector exposure, while also providing a clearer view of trading performance and trading patterns that may influence results.

"We believe the future of investing will be increasingly driven by AI-powered intelligence," said Nicolas Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Aether Holdings. "By coordinating a team of specialized AI agents connected to an investor's portfolio and trading activity, Alphid automates fundamental, technical, and risk analysis, transforming fragmented information into actionable investment intelligence."

Aether intends to continue expanding Alphid's capabilities, including data integrations, portfolio intelligence features, and AI-driven workflows designed to help investors make more informed investment decisions.
