Chaince Digital Appoints Apex Group to Provide Institutional Infrastructure for Tokenized Investment Platform

Global financial services provider servicing over $3.5 trillion in assets to deliver fund administration, tokenization servicing, and regulatory reporting capabilities

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

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

Bringing on a servicing provider of Apex’s size and standing signals the Company’s strategic direction and provides the Company with critical operational infrastructure as it rolls out on-chain investment vehicles and structured digital asset strategies for institutional and professional investors. As the Company enables the creation, management, and distribution of tokenized financial products across both traditional and blockchain-based markets, it provides institutional investors with transparent, efficient, and compliant access to tokenized funds, tokenized financial instruments, and other real-world assets. The Company’s work with Apex on fund administration and servicing establishes the institutional foundation for Chaince Digital’s continued growth and scalability.

This engagement comes at a pivotal moment for digital asset markets. With market participants exploring equity token design frameworks and regulatory alignment around on-chain equities accelerating, Chaince Digital is positioning itself to move quickly as tokenized capital markets take shape. The engagement of a globally recognized servicing partner of Apex Group’s caliber further reinforces the Company’s institutional credibility and its ability to attract sophisticated investors into 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. With market participants exploring equity token design frameworks, regulatory and institutional alignment around on-chain equities is accelerating, it positions us to move quickly as tokenized capital markets take shape.”

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. We look forward to supporting Chaince as they scale institutional-grade tokenized investment solutions globally.”
