FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK, NY — ENERGYPLAT INC., a pioneering fintech company, today announced the launch of a $10 million in exchange for up to 50% equity funding round to accelerate development of OILPLAT, a revolutionary B2B Marketplace-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform designed to digitize and streamline global energy trading.
OILPLAT addresses critical inefficiencies in the $7+ trillion global energy market by providing AI-powered smart auctions, blockchain-based transaction transparency, and automated KYC/AML compliance—eliminating intermediaries and reducing costs for suppliers, traders, and buyers worldwide.
THE MARKET PROBLEM
The global energy market suffers from significant structural challenges:
- Price opacity and information asymmetry
- High intermediary commissions (5-15% per transaction)
- Slow cross-border settlement processes
- Fragmented documentation and compliance workflows
- Limited market access for independent participants
"The energy sector doesn't need another broker—it needs digital infrastructure," said Vitaly Kryuchkov, Co-founder and CEO of ENERGYPLAT INC. "OILPLAT is built to be that infrastructure: a neutral, transparent, and intelligent platform that connects market participants directly while ensuring full regulatory compliance."
THE OILPLAT SOLUTION
OILPLAT operates as a Marketplace-as-a-Service platform, not a trading intermediary. The platform supports trading of oil and petroleum products, electricity, natural gas, and logistics services.
Core technological advantages:
- AI & Neural Networks: Demand forecasting, dynamic pricing, risk analytics
- Blockchain Integration: Immutable transaction records and smart contract automation
- KYC/AML Automation: Integrated compliance via SumSub, Trulioo, and Onfido
- Regulatory Optimization: Platform does not hold funds or execute orders—reducing licensing requirements
- Scalability: Cloud-native architecture designed for multi-industry expansion
BUSINESS MODEL
OILPLAT operates on a subscription-based SaaS model:
Basic ($93/month), Professional ($326/month), and Enterprise ($744/month). Additional revenue streams include listing fees, advertising, premium AI analytics, and white-label solutions.
