(SeaPRwire) –   A global financial services provider managing more than $3.5 trillion in assets will deliver fund administration, tokenization support, and regulatory reporting capabilities

NEW YORK, NY, March 25, 2026 — Chaince Digital Holdings Inc. (“Chaince Digital” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CD; previously Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.), a digital finance and technology firm focused on tokenization, on-chain innovation, and regulated brokerage services, today announced it has appointed Apex Group Ltd. (“Apex Group”), a global financial services provider overseeing over $3.5 trillion in assets, to deliver digital asset support, tokenization technology, and operational infrastructure solutions in support of the Company’s institutional-grade digital asset platform and tokenized investment strategy.

Partnering with Apex Group marks a significant step forward in Chaince Digital’s institutional growth. As the Company advances its next-generation platform for tokenized investment infrastructure, it requires a global service provider capable of meeting the operational, regulatory, and compliance standards expected by institutional and professional investors worldwide. Apex Group will provide fund administration, operational assistance, regulatory reporting, tokenization infrastructure, and support solutions across Chaince Digital’s tokenization efforts covering investment funds, public equities, and a range of other real-world assets.

Onboarding a service provider of Apex’s scale and reputation signals the Company’s strategic direction and equips it with critical operational infrastructure as it rolls out on-chain investment vehicles and structured digital asset strategies for institutional and professional investors. By enabling the creation, management, and distribution of tokenized financial products across both traditional and blockchain-based markets, the Company offers institutional investors transparent, efficient, and compliant access to tokenized funds, tokenized financial instruments, and other real-world assets. The Company’s collaboration with Apex on fund administration and support lays the institutional foundation for Chaince Digital’s continued growth and scalability.

This partnership comes at a pivotal moment for digital asset markets. With market participants exploring equity token design frameworks and regulatory alignment around on-chain equities gaining momentum, Chaince Digital is positioning itself to act swiftly as tokenized capital markets take shape. Teaming up with a globally recognized service partner of Apex Group’s caliber further reinforces the Company’s institutional credibility and its ability to attract sophisticated investors to tokenized financial products structured and administered to traditional market standards.

Wilfred Daye, Chief Strategy Officer of Chaince Digital, commented, “Institutional adoption of digital assets requires the same level of operational rigor and transparency investors expect from traditional financial markets. Apex Group’s tokenization infrastructure and fund administration expertise make it an ideal service provider as we build institutional-grade digital asset platforms and tokenized financial products. As market participants explore equity token design frameworks and regulatory and institutional alignment around on-chain equities accelerates, this positions us to move quickly as tokenized capital markets form.”

Angie Walker, Commercial Head of Apex Digital, added, “Chaince’s work in tokenized markets reflects a broader shift toward modernizing how financial products are structured, distributed, and accessed. Our appointment underscores Apex Group’s ability to support clients operating at the intersection of traditional market infrastructure and emerging digital asset ecosystems.
