Chaince Digital Reports Increase in Institutional Ownership with BlackRock, State Street, and UBS Amid Index-Related Activity

Chaince Digital approaches 100 institutional investors, with leading global asset managers and ETF sponsors increasing reported holdings in recent SEC Form 13F filings

New York, NY, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chaince Digital Holdings Inc. (“Chaince Digital” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CD) (formerly Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.), a leading provider of tokenization solutions and digital-asset capital markets infrastructure, today announced that recent institutional ownership reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) show growing participation from a broad range of global asset managers, hedge funds, banks and ETF sponsors.

A review of the most recent Form 13F filings from October and November 2025, compared with prior periods, reflects an expansion in both the number and diversity of institutions reporting positions in Chaince Digital. Filers showing increased or newly reported holdings include BlackRock, Inc., State Street Corporation, Mirae Asset Global ETFs Holdings Ltd., UBS Group AG, Northern Trust Corporation, and other global asset managers.

Both new filers and additional positions from existing institutions contributed to the increase in institutional exposure. Although these acquisitions may be primarily mechanical, reflecting index-related or passive investment activity, and should not be viewed as a strategic endorsement of the Company, Chaince Digital views the expanding institutional presence as an acknowledgment of its ongoing transformation.

The Company also previously announced its rebranding from Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc. to Chaince Digital Holdings Inc. and the change of its Nasdaq ticker symbol from “MFH” to “CD,” which became effective on November 13, 2025. The rebranding reflects Chaince Digital’s evolution into an integrated platform focused on tokenization, on-chain innovation, and regulated capital markets solutions, anchored by its wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, Chaince Securities, LLC, and its AI/HPC infrastructure initiatives.

“We are pleased to see continued interest from a wide range of institutional investors, from global index providers to thematic ETFs and specialist hedge funds,” said Shi Qiu, Chief Executive Officer of Chaince Digital Holdings Inc. “As we execute on our strategy in tokenized real-world assets, regulated brokerage, and AI-driven infrastructure, our goal is to build a business that can meet the due diligence standards of sophisticated institutions while delivering long-term value for all shareholders.”
