NEW YORK, NY, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chaince Digital Holdings Inc. (“Chaince Digital” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CD) (formerly Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.), a provider of tokenization solutions and digital-asset capital markets infrastructure, today announced that it continues to be included in the Russell 2000® Index for a second consecutive year in connection with the June 2026 Russell US Indexes reconstitution. The reconstituted indexes took effect after the close of U.S. equity markets on Friday, June 26, 2026, with trading in the newly reconstituted indexes commencing at the market open on Monday, June 29, 2026.
The Russell 2000® Index is one of the most widely followed benchmarks for U.S. small-cap equities. The Company first joined the Russell 2000® Index at the June 2025 reconstitution, and its continued membership reflects the application of FTSE Russell’s objective, rules-based reconstitution methodology, which uses market-capitalization rankings, current index membership and other eligibility criteria.
As a constituent of the Russell 2000® Index, Chaince Digital is also included in the broad-market Russell 3000® Index. FTSE Russell applies a rules-based style methodology to determine the relative growth and value weights of Russell 2000® constituents. The June 2026 reconstitution was the first cycle under FTSE Russell’s return to a semi-annual reconstitution schedule, under which the Russell US Indexes will now be rebalanced twice each year, in June and December. According to FTSE Russell, approximately US$12.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked to or invested in products based on the Russell US Indexes.
Shi Qiu, Chief Executive Officer of Chaince Digital Holdings Inc., commented, “We are pleased that Chaince Digital continues to be included in the Russell 2000® Index for a second consecutive year. Our focus remains on building real value across our core businesses — tokenized real-world assets, regulated brokerage, and AI-driven infrastructure — and pursuing durable, long-term growth for all shareholders.”
