As of December 31, 2025, institutional engagement had expanded, with over 100 institutions disclosing their holdings—underscoring the Company’s ongoing and growing appeal to institutional investors

New York, NY – February 18, 2026 – Chaince Digital Holdings Inc. (“Chaince Digital” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CD; formerly Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.), a digital finance and technology firm focused on tokenization, on-chain innovation, and regulated brokerage services, today announced that an analysis of Form 13F disclosures filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the quarter ending December 31, 2025, shows more than 100 institutional holders reported positions in the Company as of that date. This milestone reflects continued growth in institutional interest since the Company’s previous update on the number of institutional investors on November 18, 2025.

The Form 13F filings include positions from several major financial institutions, such as BlackRock, Inc., The Vanguard Group, State Street Corporation, UBS Group AG, and The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Notably, State Street Corporation reported a 43.41% increase in its disclosed holdings in its latest Form 13F submission. The ownership data and percentage changes referenced here are derived from publicly available Form 13F and fund filings, and may not reflect current holdings or all accounts managed by these institutions.

These reported holdings may represent passive investment strategies, index rebalancing, or other non-discretionary activities, and should not be interpreted as an explicit or implicit strategic endorsement of the Company or its securities.

“We’re encouraged to see the ongoing expansion of institutions disclosing positions in Chaince Digital,” said Wilfred Daye, the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer. “Our focus remains on executing our strategy and building institutional-grade, compliant infrastructure across tokenization, regulated brokerage, and AI/HPC initiatives to deliver lasting long-term value.”
