Zetrix AI Berhad Gains Momentum with Blockchain‑Powered Age‑Verification Solution
Zetrix AI Berhad, formerly known as MY E.G. Services Berhad, has announced a significant development in its technology portfolio that is poised to reshape compliance for social media platforms in Malaysia. The company’s blockchain‑based age‑verification system has received an endorsement from My Blockchain Infrastructure (MBI), a unit of Mimos Bhd that operates the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation’s Blockchain Infrastructure initiative (MOSTI).
Endorsement by My Blockchain Infrastructure
On 5 January 2026, MBI issued a joint statement to Bursa Malaysia confirming its support for Zetrix’s privacy‑preserving age‑verification solution. The platform is designed to allow social media and messaging services to verify users’ ages without repeatedly collecting personal identification information, thereby addressing regulatory concerns while protecting user privacy. The endorsement aligns with the Malaysian government’s regulatory sandbox, which launched on 1 January, aimed at facilitating the deployment of innovative technologies that meet regulatory standards.
Market Context
The endorsement came amid a broader technology rally that lifted the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI by 0.63 percent on 5 January, reflecting investor confidence in the sector. Zetrix AI’s market capitalisation, listed at 6.32 billion MYR, positions it as a notable player within the information technology segment of Bursa Malaysia. At the close on 1 January, the stock traded at 0.81 MYR, with a 52‑week high of 1.06 MYR and a low of 0.68 MYR, indicating a moderate but steady performance.
Strategic Implications
The partnership with MBI not only validates Zetrix’s technical capabilities but also opens avenues for the company to secure contracts with large social media operators seeking compliant age‑verification mechanisms. By leveraging blockchain technology, Zetrix can offer a scalable solution that meets the stringent data privacy requirements increasingly enforced by regulators worldwide.
Investor Outlook
Analysts note that the endorsement could act as a catalyst for future earnings growth, particularly as Malaysia pursues stricter controls over under‑16 access to social media. The company’s price‑earnings ratio of 7.86 suggests that the market still values its growth potential, albeit within a competitive environment.
In summary, Zetrix AI Berhad’s alignment with Malaysia’s blockchain infrastructure initiative marks a pivotal step toward establishing itself as a leader in privacy‑preserving compliance solutions for the digital economy.
