PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

DATED SEPTEMBER 1, 2023

32,087,130 ordinary shares

Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling shareholders identified in this prospectus of up to 32,087,130 ordinary shares, par value US$0.004 per share, as further described below under “Prospectus Summary—Private Placements.”

The selling shareholders are identified in the table commencing on page 13. No ordinary shares are being registered hereunder for sale by us. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares by the selling shareholders. All net proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus will go to the selling shareholders (see “Use of Proceeds”). The selling shareholders are offering their securities in order to create a public trading market for our equity securities in the United States. Unlike an initial public offering, any sale by the selling shareholders of the ordinary shares is not being underwritten by any investment bank. The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the ordinary shares from time to time in market transactions through any market on which our ordinary shares are then traded, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, and at prices and on terms that will be determined by the then prevailing market price or at negotiated prices directly or through a broker or brokers, who may act as agent or as principal or by a combination of such methods of sale (see “Plan of Distribution”).

Our ordinary shares currently trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or NASDAQ, under the symbol “MFH.” The last reported closing price of our ordinary shares on August 29, 2023 was $1.48.

We are not a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, but we qualify as a “foreign private issuer”, as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements.

Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc. or “MFH Cayman” is not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company with our operations conducted through our U.S., Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries. Under this holding company structure, investors are purchasing equity interests in MFH Cayman, a Cayman Islands holding company, and obtaining indirect ownership interests in our U.S., Hong Kong and Chinese operating companies. PRC regulatory authorities could decide to limit foreign ownership in our industry in the future, in which case there could be a risk that we would be unable to do business in China as we are currently structured. In such event, despite our efforts to restructure to comply with the then applicable PRC laws and regulations in order to continue our operations in China, we may experience material changes in our business and results of operations, our attempts may prove to be futile due to factors beyond our control, and the value of the ordinary shares you invest in may significantly decline or become worthless.

Prior to 2022, the majority of our operations were based in mainland China. During 2022, we divested our software development business in mainland China, established a new management team, and relocated our headquarters to the United States with the newly established Hong Kong office as the operational hub for our business in the Asia Pacific region. As a result of the recent operational reorganization, the majority of our operations are currently based in the U.S. while part of our technical and back-office team in mainland China.

To certain extent, we are subject to legal and operational risks associated with having part of our operations in mainland China, including risks related to the legal, political and economic policies of the Chinese government, the relations between China and the United States, and changes in Chinese laws and regulations. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. On December 28, 2021, thirteen governmental departments of the PRC, including the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), issued the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. The Cybersecurity Review Measures provide that an online platform operator, which possesses personal information of at least one million users, must apply for a cybersecurity review by the CAC if it intends to be listed in foreign countries. We do not believe that we are subject to the cybersecurity review by the CAC. In addition, as of the date of this prospectus, we have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by any PRC regulatory authority, nor have we received any inquiry, notice, or sanction related to cybersecurity review under the Cybersecurity Review Measures. As of the date of this prospectus, no relevant laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly require us to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or any other PRC governmental authorities for our overseas listing or securities offering plan, nor have we (including any of our subsidiaries) received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanctions regarding our planned offering of securities from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities. Also, as of the date of this prospectus, we do not believe we are in a monopolistic position in the industry in which we operate. However, since these statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government are newly published and official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued, it remains uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operations. The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) or other PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations or implementing rules that would require our Chinese subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before future offerings of securities in the U.S. These risks could result in a material change in our operations in China and potentially the value of our securities being registered herein for sale. The CSRC regulatory risks could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

In addition, our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or over-the-counter market under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) is unable to inspect our auditors for three consecutive years. In addition, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “AHFCAA”), which was signed into law on December 29, 2022, reducing the period of time for foreign companies to comply with the PCAOB audits to two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading. Pursuant to the HFCA Act, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (i) Mainland China of the PRC, and (ii) Hong Kong; and such report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the CSRC and China’s Ministry of Finance (the “PRC MOF”) in respect of cooperation on the oversight of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms based in Mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Statement of Protocol, the PCAOB conducted inspections on select registered public accounting firms subject to the Determination Report in Hong Kong between September 2022 and November 2022. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16, 2021 determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. Each year, the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, among other jurisdictions. If the PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we use an accounting firm headquartered in one of these jurisdictions to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the SEC, we would be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer following the filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the relevant fiscal year. There can be no assurance that we would not be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for any future fiscal year, and if we were so identified for two consecutive years, we would become subject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA. Our auditor, Onestop Assurance PAC, is headquartered in Singapore, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. Our auditor is not headquartered in Mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified in the Determination Report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determinations.

Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. Our PRC subsidiary has not paid dividends and will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements for statutory reserve funds. For PRC and United States federal income tax considerations in connection with an investment in our shares, see “Taxation.”

Under our current corporate structure, to fund any liquidity requirements an entity in our corporate group may have, a subsidiary may rely on loans or payments from MFH Cayman and MFH Cayman may receive distributions or cash transfers from our subsidiaries. Additionally, the transfer of funds and assets between MFH Cayman and its subsidiaries is not subject to any Chinese currency exchange restrictions. As of the date of this prospectus, during the past two completed fiscal years, none of our subsidiaries has made any dividends or distributions to MFH Cayman and neither has MFH Cayman made any dividends or distributions to its shareholders or subsidiaries. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. If MFH Cayman determines to pay dividends on any of its ordinary shares in the future, as a holding company, it may derive funds for such distribution from its own cash position or contributions from its subsidiaries. During the past three completed fiscal years, some transfers of non-cash assets occurred between MFH Cayman and its subsidiaries, in which MFH Cayman repaid the debts of its PRC subsidiary, MFH Cayman advanced expenses for its Hong Kong subsidiary, MFH Cayman transferred fixed assets to MFH Tech and MFH Cayman collected money on behalf of certain other subsidiaries. As of the date of this prospectus, neither MFH Cayman nor its subsidiaries had a cash management policy. See “The Company–Cash Distribution” on page 9.

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” starting on page 11 to read about the factors you should consider before buying the Ordinary Shares.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, nor any state or other foreign securities commission has approved nor disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is , 2023

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section and the financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus.

Overview

Prior to July 2019, we provided integrated B2B services to food service suppliers and customers in China. In May 2019, we acquired Mercurity Limited and its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”) to start blockchain technical services including developing digital asset transaction platforms and other solutions based on blockchain technologies.

On July 22, 2019, we divested our B2B services to food service suppliers and customers by selling all the issued and outstanding shares of New Admiral Limited, or New Admiral, our former wholly-owned subsidiary operating the B2B business, to Marvel Billion Development Limited, or Marvel Billion. After this divestment, we are no longer engaged in B2B services and our current principal business is focused on providing blockchain technical services. We design and develop digital asset transaction platforms based on blockchain technologies for customers to facilitate crypto asset trading and asset digitalization and provide supplemental services for such platforms, such as customized software development services, maintenance services and compliance support services.

In March 2020, we acquired NBpay Investment Limited and its subsidiaries and variable interest entity(“VIE”), a developer of asset transaction platform products based on blockchain technologies, to advance the blockchain technical services business.

In August 2021, we added cryptocurrency mining as one of our main businesses going forward. We entered into cryptocurrency mining pools by executing a business contract with a collective mining service provider on October 22, 2021 to provide computing power to the mining pool and derived USD$664,307 related revenue in 2021 and USD$783,089 related revenue in the first half of 2022.

Due to the extremely adverse regulatory measures taken by the Chinese government in 2021 in the field of digital currency production and transaction, our board of Directors decided on December 10, 2021 to divest the VIEs, which were the Chinese operating companies of the related business controlled through VIE agreements, and the divestiture of such VIEs was completed on January 15, 2022.

Due to the dismantling of the VIEs and the cessation of all business related to the digital asset transaction platforms, the temporary difficulties we faced by the aforementioned incident where our cryptocurrencies were seized and impounded, the departure of our original Chinese technical team in the first half of 2022, and because we failed to rebuild the technical service team in the second half of 2022, our blockchain technical services business did not generate any revenue in 2022.

In July 2022, we added digital consultation services as one of our main businesses going forward, providing digital payment solutions, asset management, and a continued expansion into online and traditional brokerage services.

On July 15, 2022, we incorporated Mercurity Fintech Technology Holding Inc. (“MFH Tech”) to develop distributed computing and storage services and digital consultation services. On August 23, 2022, MFH Tech signed a Consulting Agreement with a Chinese media company, pursuant to which MFH Tech will serve as a business consultant in order to facilitate the Client to establish the entity in the United States and make financing strategy, and derived USD$80,000 related revenue in 2022.

On January 10, 2023, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Jinhe Capital Limited, providing for the purchase of 5,000 Antminer S19 PRO Bitcoin mining machines, for an aggregate consideration of USD$9,000,000. The S19 Pro offers cutting-edge technology and are the highest quality machines currently available on the market with increased speed, computing power and efficiency. The decision to purchase these machines was made with the intention of providing our Company with a competitive edge in the cryptocurrency mining sector, and an increase in revenue relative to cost, due to their efficiency and overall cost-effectiveness.

On January 28, 2023, we decided to write off NBpay Investment Limited and its subsidiaries, which had no meaningful assets or business nor employees. After the adjustment of the above corporate structure, MFH Tech has been acting as the primary U.S. operating entity of distributed computing and storage services (including cryptocurrency mining) and digital consultation services business, and our Hong Kong and China subsidiaries are expected to act as the operating entities of the digital consultation services (mainly digital payment solution services) in the Asia-Pacific region, and we plan to establish a new technical services team in China to support our digital consultation services.

On April 12, 2023, the Company completed the incorporation of another U.S. subsidiary, Chaince Securities, which plans to develop Financial advisory services, online and traditional brokerage services independently in the future. On May 3, 2023, Chaince Securities entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the acquisition of all assets and liabilities of J.V. Delaney & Associates, an investment advisory firm and FINRA licensed broker dealer.

Blockchain technical services

We provide digital asset trading infrastructure solutions based on internet and blockchain technologies to our customers. These services include, among others, (i) comprehensive solutions in connection with digital asset transactions, (ii) platform-based products, such as transaction facilitation systems, trading systems, account management systems, operation management systems and mobile applications, and (iii) a variety of supplemental services, such as customized software development services, maintenance services and compliance support services. We launched Version 2.0 of our asset trading platform in 2019 which has included enhancements to the functionality of Version 1.0 as well as new offerings of services and products for our customer on this platform. Our target customers for such trading platforms are mainly cryptocurrency traders, blockchain-based virtual communities, and liquidity providers. In 2019, we generated substantially all of our Revenue from selling our cryptocurrency asset trading platform and providing supplemental services to one customer who purchased this platform. As a result of such sale, we are no longer operating such cryptocurrency asset trading platform. However, due to changes in management and business team in 2021, we did not conclude any additional sales from this trading platform product in 2021. In 2022, as a result of major changes to the regulatory environment and violent fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, the Company dismantled its VIE structure and suspended the provision of blockchain technology services to original customers, and has no current intention to expand new customers for the time being. Nevertheless, the Company plans to focus on the development of digital payment functions on the vision of the current asset digitalization platform, and hopes to provide digital payment products and solutions to the market after obtaining the corresponding payment license.

In November 2020, we launched an open, decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that designed to solve retail traders’ global problems of low liquidity and capital utilization, poor governance, token growth incentive deficiencies, and slow transaction speeds. However, due to changes of the business focus in 2021, the revenue from this DeFi platform was immaterial and we discontinued the development of such DeFi platform.

Later, we developed an asset digitalization platform, which can provide blockchain-based digitalization solutions for traditional assets, such as fiat currencies, bonds and precious metals. The revenue from this product was US$122,343 during the year of 2021, generated by one of the VIEs which have been divested in 2022, and therefore these revenues are classified under loss/income from discontinued operations in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Due to the dismantling of the VIEs and the cessation of all business related to the digital asset transaction platforms, as well as the temporary difficulties brought to us by the incident that a portion of our cryptocurrencies were out of control, we did not conclude any digital asset trading and asset digitalization platform and solutions related revenue in 2022. Currently we are no longer operating such asset digitalization platform. Due to the regulatory changes in the digital asset industry, we do not plan to conduct any business related to the asset trading platform, asset digitalization platform and decentralized finance (DeFi) platform. In terms of our blockchain technical services, we plan to combine our original project management experience and technology related to blockchain technical services with our digital consultation services to further develop digital banking and digital payment services business.

Cryptocurrency Mining

In August 2021, we added cryptocurrency mining as one of our main businesses going forward. Cryptocurrency mining is part of our distributed computing and storage services business. We carry out cryptocurrency mining primarily from our facilities located in New Jersey, United States.

We have entered into cryptocurrency mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators or executing contracts with the sharing mining service providers to increase computing power or storage capacity to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time by either party and our enforceable right to compensation only begins when we provide computing power or storage capacity to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power or storage capacity, we are entitled to a fractional share of the fixed digital asset awards the mining pool operator receives, for successfully adding blocks to the blockchain. Our fractional share is relative to the proportion of computing power or storage capacity we contribute to the mining pool operator toward the total computing power or storage capacity contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm.

Providing computing power or storage capacity in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of our ordinary activities. The provision of such computing power or storage capacity is the only performance obligation in our contracts with mining pool operators or contracts with the sharing mining service providers. The transaction consideration we receive, if any, is noncash consideration, which we measure at fair value on the date received, which is not materially different than the fair value at contract inception or the time we have earned the award from the pools. These considerations are all variable. Since significant reversals of cumulative revenue are possible given the nature of the assets, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block (by being the first to solve an algorithm) and we receive confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is no significant financing component related to these transactions. Fair value of the digital assets award received is determined using the quoted price of the related digital assets at the time of receipt.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we earned $783,090 in Bitcoin mining revenue from shared mining operations and $348 in Filecoin mining revenue from physical mining operations.

In January 2023, our U.S. subsidiary, MFH Tech signed a Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement with Coinbase, Inc., filed as Exhibit 99.1 to our registration statement on Form F-1. The agreement includes the Coinbase Custody Custodial Services Agreement (the “Custody Agreement”) and the Coinbase Master Trading Agreement (the “MTA”). The agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Coinbase Entities will open and maintain the prime broker account for us and provide services relating to custody, trade execution, lending or post-trade credit (if applicable), and other services for certain digital assets. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not own and/or hold crypto assets on behalf of third parties.

In May 2023, it was reported that a trust sponsor had requested for withdrawal of its registration statement filed with the SEC in deference to the requests in the SEC Staff’s letters, and that the SEC was of the view that Filecoins constituted “securities” under U.S. securities laws. Additionally, in June 2023, the SEC filed a lawsuit against Binance, and named Filecoin as, among other cryptocurrencies, constituting “securities” under U.S. securities laws. Such categorization, as well as further regulatory developments, new legislations and regulations, and changes in regulatory policy, may have materially adverse impacts on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as the price of our shares. Our Filecoin assets constituted less than 7% of our consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2022. As such, we believe that such regulatory changes will have minimal impacts to us. We are reviewing the recent legal and regulatory developments and we intend to alter our business focus and strategy whenever necessary to remain compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. See also “Risk Factors—Certain crypto assets and cryptocurrencies have been identified as a “security” in certain jurisdictions, and we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.”

In addition, due to recent developments in the regulations of cryptocurrencies, particularly in the U.S., such as the creation of subcommittees of the House Financial Services Committee, the approval of custodians for digital assets securities, and the Security and Exchange Commission’s crackdown on illegal trading platforms, we have seen increases of the price volatility of various cryptocurrency assets. For instance, the price of Bitcoins experienced sharp volatility in the first seven months of 2023, including a high price of more than $31,000 and a low price of less than $17,000, and the price of Filecoins also experienced sharp volatility in the first seven months of 2023, including a high price of more than $9 and a low price of less than $3. Our total cryptocurrency asset holdings constituted less than 25% of our consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2022. As such, we believe that the immediate impact of such regulatory changes will be limited to us. We are closely monitoring the changes and trends in prices of cryptocurrencies, and we may make changes to our business focus and strategies in the future should the need arise. See also “Risk Factors—Our operating results may fluctuate and continue to fluctuate, including due to the highly volatile nature of crypto.”

Similarly, due to the increased price volatility of cryptocurrencies in general, individualized management failures, failures of internal control and oversight, as well as other macroeconomic or other factors, a string of bankruptcies have occurred in the crypto asset industry, including those of Genesis Global Capital, FTX, BlockFi, Celsuis Network, Voyager Digital and Three Arrows Capital. Such bankruptcies and adverse developments in the crypto asset industry and have not impacted and is not expected to materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, customers, and counterparties, either directly or indirectly, as the Company is not a direct counterparty to such entities. We do not have any material assets that may not be recovered due to the bankruptcies of those named companies or may otherwise be lost or misappropriated. We are also not aware of any material direct or indirect exposures to other counterparties, customers, custodians, or other participants in crypto asset markets that have filed for bankruptcy, that have been decreed insolvent or bankrupt, that have made any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or have had a receiver appointed for them, that have experienced excessive redemptions or suspended redemptions or withdrawals of crypto assets, that have the crypto assets of their customers unaccounted for; or that have experienced material corporate compliance failures. However, it is possible that these recent bankruptcies may have exacerbated the further pricing decline of certain cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, in 2023 which may have imposed adverse impacts to our mining losses and/or value of the cryptocurrencies we hold.

Investors in our securities should be aware that engaging in cryptocurrency mining may result in certain environmental harms and transition risks related to climate change that may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as mining operations consume a substantial amount of power, which may contribute to increased carbon emissions. Recent policy and regulatory changes relating to limiting carbon emissions could impose additional operational and compliance burdens on our cryptocurrency mining operations, such as more stringent reporting requirements or higher compliance fees. There have also been recent market trends that may alter business opportunities for our industry, stemming from recent regulatory and policy changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, where regulators have come out to state that certain cryptocurrencies constitute “securities” and that there would be increased regulation and oversight over businesses engaged in cryptocurrencies, which is highly power-consuming and poses environmental risks. These may lead to increased credit risks, which may lead to financiers and lenders being less willing to enter into business relationships with us, as well as increased litigation risks related to climate change in the jurisdictions in which we carry out mining operations, Some businesses as well as some investors may have also ceased accepting cryptocurrencies for certain types of purchases, and stopped investing in businesses involved in cryptocurrencies businesses, due to environmental concerns associated with cryptocurrencies mining, which may have adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See “Risk Factors—Environmental concerns associated with cryptocurrencies mining could have adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.”

Consultation services

In July 2022, we added digital consultation services as one of our main businesses going forward, providing digital payment solutions for various types of companies, asset management, and a continued expansion into online and traditional brokerage services.

Considering that the contents of different projects of our consultation service business varies greatly, we adopt the percentage-of-completion method to measure and recognize revenue for each consultation service project. The percentage-of-completion method recognizes income as work on a contract’s (or group of closely related contracts) progress. The recognition of Revenue and profits is generally related to costs incurred in providing the services required under the contract.

On August 23, 2022, we signed a Consulting Agreement with a Chinese media company, pursuant to which we will serve as a business consultant in order to facilitate the Client to establish the entity in the United States and make financing strategy. As of December 31, 2022, the project was approximately 50% on schedule and we recognized consultation service revenue of $80,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022 in line with the completion schedule and have plans to expand upon this business in the near future.

In the first half of 2023, we further refined our business structure by further dividing consultation services into financial advisory services, digital banking and digital payment services. MFH Tech is acting as our operating entity for digital banking and digital payment services in North America while Ucon as our operating entity for digital payment services in Asia Pacific. We plan to make Chaince Securities our operating entity for financial advisory services as well as the online and traditional brokerage services once it becomes a licensed FINRA member.

Types Of Cryptocurrencies We Have Held

As of December 31, 2022 and as of the date of this prospectus, we have held five types of cryptocurrencies, which are Bitcoin, USD Coin, FileCoin, Tether USD, and FF Coin. We received these types of cryptocurrencies through mining operations, compensation to us for services and products provided, and acquisition of certain digital assets. In May 2019, we acquired FFcoins with an estimated value of $1,200,000 at the prevailing market price. FF(Fifty-five) coin is a decentralized blockchain digital asset issued by 55 Global Market. In 2020, due to the significant decline in the FF coin market price, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $835,344 at market value at the end of 2020. Even more unfortunately, in 2021, the FF coins further completely lost its market value, and the Company wrote down the remaining book value of the FF coins to 0 and recognized an impairment loss of $372,995.

Due to the price crash of Bitcoin in 2022, the Company, out of caution, decided to change the impairment test method of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from testing once or twice a year by calculating the fair value based on the average daily closing price of the past 12 months to testing every day by calculating the fair value based on the intraday low price. We restated the impacted financial statements as of December 31, 2021, and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and related notes included herein to correct these changes. We recognized $1,292,568 impairment loss of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $3,144,053 impairment loss of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2022 as the restated financial statements.

The revised impairment loss of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 is detailed as follows:

	December 31,		December 31,		December 31,
	2022		2021		2020
		US$		US$		US$
Bitcoin		3,111,232		908,453		-
USD Coin		-		11,120		-
Filecoin		26,957		-
Tether USDs (“USDT”)		5,864		-
FF Coins		-		372,995		835,344
Total impairment loss of intangible assets		3,144,053		1,292,568		835,344

In order to avoid the recurrence of such asset losses, the current management of the company has optimized and improved the investment strategy, asset management internal control and many other aspects to reduce the relevant business risks.

Analysis of Our Crypto Asset Mining Operations

In August 2021, based on the Company's technical capabilities, experience and resources in the cryptocurrency industry, the potential of the cryptocurrency market and the increasingly clear regulatory policy of the US government on cryptocurrency, our management entered into the field of cryptocurrency mining.

Bitcoin mining

On October 22, 2021, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Ucon, entered into a Bitcoin joint mining business agreement (the “Computing Power Purchase Agreement”) with Carpenter Creek LLC (“Bitdeer”), pursuant to which we purchased 180 days of computing power for 480 Antminer S17+ mining machines located in Tennessee from Bitdeer to start our Bitcoin mining business. Based on the Computing Power Purchase Agreement, we paid for the electricity costs and computing power costs (including costs of renting mining machines, operating site and networks) incurred for mining Bitcoins pursuant to our orders. Our average daily operating costs (electricity costs and computing power costs) for this business was $11,080.35 and we recognized revenues on a daily basis based on the closing price of the rewarded Bitcoins on that day. The comparative data of revenue and cost of this Bitcoin shared mining business compiled by month are as follows:

Period	The number of Bitcoin rewards	Revenue	Cost	Gross profit	Average closing price of Bitcoin	Breakeven Bitcoin price
October, 2021	1.15637957	$71,061.41	$(60,018.55)	$11,042.86	$61,659.24	$51,902.12
November, 2021	5.82873982	$353,802.33	$(332,410.42)	$21,391.91	$60,641.88	$57,029.55
December, 2021	4.77001406	$239,443.11	$(310,249.72)	$(70,806.61)	$49,683.50	$65,041.68

March, 2022	4.81988816	$201,511.74	$(343,490.76)	$(141,979.02)	$41,804.32	$71,265.30
April, 2022	4.33004452	$181,540.87	$(294,552.57)	$(122,897.40)	$41,799.11	$68,025.30
Total Amount	30.62004567	$1,447,396.30	$(1,994,462.50)	$(556,951.90)

We carried out the Bitcoin mining from October 2021 to April 2022. Our computing power during this period was 35,000TH/s, our average daily output during this period was 0.17011136 BTC, and the revenue per unit of computing power was 0.000004860 BTC/TH/day. For this Bitcoin mining business, we essentially leased the Bitcoin mining machines instead of owning them, while the cost of renting the mining machines proved to be very high. The average daily operating cost (including the cost of renting the mining machines) of our Bitcoin mining was $110,80.51, so we would not make a profit until the average price of Bitcoin exceeds $65,137.

However, back in October 2021, the management did not anticipate the Bitcoin market crash that would begin in December 2021. In December 2021, the price of Bitcoin suddenly plummeted from the price range of $60,000 per coin and during the first eight months of 2023 such price lingered around the range of $16,000 to $30,000, causing the Company's Bitcoin mining business suffering a great loss. Due to the sharp fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin over the past two years, from May 2022 to August 2023, we did not carry out any business related to Bitcoin mining.

On August 30, 2023, the whole net computing power of Bitcoin was 366.47EH/s, and the net unit computing power income on that day was 0.00000232BTC/TH/day, which was significantly lower than that in 2022. Accordingly, the cost of obtaining a unit Bitcoin reward from Bitcoin mining business will increase significantly in the future.

Although the difficulty of mining Bitcoin has significantly increased and the price of Bitcoin remains low, we will still seek to obtain certain profits through cost control. In the future, cryptocurrency mining will be part of our distributed storage and computing services and will only be conducted when we expect that it is likely to generate a profit.

S19 Pro Mining Project

On February 10, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “S19 Pro Purchase Agreement”) with the seller to buy 5,000 Ant Miner S19 Pro Bitcoin miners for a total purchase price of $9 million, equivalent to the price of $1,800 per machine. Taking into account the increasing difficulty of mining in the mining industry and the general loss of the top mining enterprises, the Company is considering the diversification of its business in the financial technology field, and has decided to reduce the procurement scale of Bitcoin miners and reduce the company's investment in the mining field. As such, the Company and seller entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the S19 Pro Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the parties have agreed to reduce the purchase order to no more than 2,000 Bitcoin miners for a total amount of no more than $3.6 million. As the Ant miner S19 Pro Bitcoin miner is currently one of the best-selling models in the market and our order is back ordered, our batch of the S19 Pro has not been delivered as of the date of this letter. At present, the Company has paid the seller $3 million US dollars. Depending on the actual delivery date of the mining machines and bitcoin market conditions, the Company may change the order amount in the future. As things stand now, the Company may not receive these scheduled miners until the end of 2023 and may begin Bitcoin mining operations in January 2024.

We have assumed that the final number of Bitcoin mining machines purchased is 1500 for the following breakeven analysis. Based on the current level of Bitcoin mining difficulty of the whole net, the breakeven analysis of this batch of Bitcoin mining machines to carry out Bitcoin mining business is as follows:

Types of Bitcoin mining machines

The number of Bitcoin mining machines

Expected average computing power (TH/s)

Average daily operating costs

Assumed daily net unit computing power income (BTC/(TH/s)/day)

As of August 30, 2023, according to the data of Feixiaohao platforms, a platform that aggregates information of the global cryptocurrency markets, the average daily lowest transaction price of Bitcoin for the last 30 days is $27,751.22, which is higher than the above breakeven price of Bitcoin that we have measured.

Filecoin mining

On December 15, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with Huangtong International Co., Ltd., providing for the acquisition and purchase of Web3 decentralized storage infrastructure, including cryptocurrency mining servers, cables, and other electronic devices, for an aggregate consideration of USD$5,980,000, payable in our ordinary shares. The investment is made with an aim to own mining machines capable of gathering, processing, and storing vast amounts of data, to advance the cryptocurrency mining business. Starting on December 20, 2022, we have been using some of the storage capacity of these devices for Filecoin mining business, and other storage capacity will be used to provide cloud storage services to distributed application product operators. We expect the storage capacity for Filecoin mining operations to reach around 60.4PiB in June 2024. The operating costs of Filecoin mining business currently include depreciation costs of equipment, site fees, electricity fees, network fees and software deployment costs. The comparative data of revenue and cost of this Filecoin mining business as of June 30, 2023 compiled by month are as follows:

Period	The number of Filecoin rewards	Revenue	Cost	Gross profit	Average lowest price of Filecoin	Breakeven Filecoin price
December, 2022	115.49	$348.40	$(69,816.21)	$(69,467.81)	$2.7529	$604.52

Total Amount	33,668.07	$167,214.10	$(687,268.47)	$(520,054.37)

We carried out the Filecoin mining business from December 2022. As of June 30, 2023, we have opened two nodes on the Filecoin blockchain with a set storage capacity of 30.2Pib, one of which has not reached the maximum set storage capacity, so the current storage capacity of the two nodes was 25.16PiB. We plan to open another two nodes in the second half of 2023 to enable our hardware devices to release more storage capacity in exchange for revenue, and we expect our storage capacity for Filecoin mining operations to reach 60.4PiB in June 2024.

As of June 30, 2023, the whole net computing power of Filecoin was 21.9288EiB, and the net unit storage capacity income on that day was 0.0084 FIL/TiB/day. One of our nodes reached the set maximum storage capacity of 15.1PiB in early June 2023, and the actual output efficiency of this node in June 2023 was 0.0095FIL/TiB/day, which is about 13 percent higher than the output efficiency of the whole network.

Considering that the market price of Filecoin had also fluctuated significantly in the past two years, we, out of caution, recognize daily revenue based on the lowest trading price on the day of receiving Filecoin rewards, and conduct impairment test monthly by calculating the fair value based on the lowest historical value of Filecoin during the holding period. Since it takes some time for Filecoin to reach its maximum computing power per node, our Filecoin mining business is not yet profitable. We currently have only two nodes, as of June 30, 2023, the final capacity of the two nodes is 25.16PiB, these two nodes have not reached the maximum computing power, we also plan to open another two nodes in the second half of 2023 to enable our hardware devices to release more storage capacity in exchange for revenue.

In addition, we are also exploring opportunities to use some of the storage capacity of our hardware devices planned for non-Filecoin mining businesses to provide computing power and cloud storage services to distributed platform operators. When and if the storage capacity of our Filecoin mining business reaches the set 60.4PiB, the output of Filecoin mining will reach the expected stable level. We expect our Filecoin mining output to reach the stable level in June 2024 but we cannot guaranty that we will achieve this goal on schedule or at all. We use the same batch of Web3 decentralized storage infrastructure for our cloud storage services to decentralized platform operators and Filecoin mining business and therefore do not need to add any new equipment.

On August 30, 2023, the net unit storage capacity income of the whole net of Filecoin mining is 0.0071 FIL/TiB/day. Assuming that our Filecoin mining business has reached the set maximum storage capacity of 60.4PiB and the average net unit storage capacity income is 0.0071 FIL/TiB/day, and that our business of providing cloud storage services to decentralized platform operators can bring in $70,000 per month (average $2,333 per day), then, our breakeven analysis of our business of Filecoin mining and providing cloud storage services to decentralized platform operators is as follows:

Expected average storage capacity (PiB)

Assumed output efficiency (FIL/TiB/day)

The daily number of Filecoin rewards (1)

Expected daily operating cost of Filecoin mining and providing cloud storage services to decentralized platform operators (3)

As of August 30, 2023, according to the data of Feixiaohao platforms, a platform that aggregates information of the global cryptocurrency markets, the average daily lowest transaction price of Filecoin for the last 30 days is $3.78, which is higher than the above breakeven price of Filecoin that we have measured.

However, the above assumption about the revenue of providing cloud storage services to decentralized platform operators is set based on our future business objectives. If we fail to achieve the assumed objectives of the providing cloud storage services to decentralized platform operators in the future, our Filecoin mining and cloud storage services to decentralized platform operators may incur a loss as a whole.

Private Placements

Our Company has entered into certain transactions with investors involving the issuance of our ordinary shares as consideration (the “Private Placements”).

Recent Regulatory Developments

We are subject to a wide variety of complex laws and regulations in the United States, PRC and other jurisdictions in which we operate. The laws and regulations govern many issues related to our business practices, including those regarding cryptocurrencies, cybersecurity, offering and listing of securities, monopolistic behaviours, consumer protection, intellectual property, product liability and disclosures, employee benefits, taxation and other matters.

These laws and regulations are constantly evolving and may be interpreted, applied, created, superseded, or amended in a manner that could harm our business. These changes may occur immediately or develop over time through judicial decisions or as new guidance or interpretations are provided by regulatory and governing bodies, such as federal, state and local administrative agencies. As we expand our business into new markets or introduce new features or offerings into existing markets, regulatory bodies or courts may claim that we are subject to additional requirements, or that we are prohibited from conducting business in certain jurisdictions. This section summarizes the certain regulations applicable to our business.

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as we have not implemented any monopolistic behavior and our business does not involve the large-scale collection of user data, implicate cybersecurity, or involve any other type of restricted industry.

As of the date of this prospectus, we believe that none of our subsidiaries is currently required to obtain regulatory approvals or permissions from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other relevant PRC regulatory authorities for their business operations, our offering (including the sales of securities to foreign investors) and our listing in the U.S. under any existing PRC law, regulations or rules, nor have we received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to our business operations, our offering and listing in the U.S. from the CSRC, the CAC, or other PRC regulatory authorities.

On November 14, 2021, CAC released the Regulations on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) and accepted public comments until December 13, 2021. The draft Regulations on Network Data Security provide that data processors refer to individuals or organizations that autonomously determine the purpose and the manner of processing data. If a data processor that processes personal data of more than one million users intends to list overseas, it shall apply for a cybersecurity review. In addition, data processors that process important data or are listed overseas shall carry out an annual data security assessment on their own or by engaging a data security services institution, and the data security assessment report for the prior year should be submitted to the local cyberspace affairs administration department before January 31 of each year. On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) was promulgated and took effect on February 15, 2022, which iterates that any “online platform operator” controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review. We are not an “operator of critical information infrastructure” or “large-scale data processor” as mentioned above. However, PRC regulations relating to personal information protection and data protection, it has been clarified in the relevant provision that the processing of PRC individual’s personal information outside China will also under the jurisdiction of the PRC Personal Information Protection Law and if data processing outside China harms the national security, public interests or the rights and interests of citizens or organizations of the PRC, legal responsibilities will also be investigated. In addition, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries is an operator of any “critical information infrastructure” as defined under the PRC Cybersecurity Law and the Security Protection Measures on Critical Information Infrastructure.

However, Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) was recently adopted and the Network Internet Data Protection Draft Regulations (draft for comments) is in the process of being formulated and the Opinions remain unclear on how it will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. There remain uncertainties as to when the final measures will be issued and take effect, how they will be enacted, interpreted or implemented, and whether they will affect us. If we inadvertently conclude that the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) do not apply to us, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and it is determined in the future that the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) become applicable to us, we may be subject to review when conducting data processing activities, and may face challenges in addressing its requirements and make necessary changes to our internal policies and practices. We may incur substantial costs in complying with the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version), which could result in material adverse changes in our business operations and financial position. If we are not able to fully comply with the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version), our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be significantly limited or completely hindered, and our securities may significantly decline in value or become worthless.

On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Administrative Provisions”) and the Measures for the Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing Record-Filings by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Filing Measures,” collectively with the Draft Administrative Provisions, the “Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing”). The Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing lay out the filing regulation arrangement for both direct and indirect overseas listing, and clarify the determination criteria for indirect overseas listing in overseas markets. Among other things, if a domestic enterprise intends to conduct any follow-on offering in an overseas market, the record-filing obligation is with a major operating entity incorporated in the PRC and such filing obligation shall be completed within three working days after the completion of the offering. The required filing materials shall include but not limited to: filing report and relevant commitments and domestic legal opinions. The Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing, if enacted, may subject us to additional compliance requirement in the future. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ordinary shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our ordinary shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

As further advised by our PRC counsel, as of the date of the registration statement, no effective laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly require us to seek approval from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities for our overseas listing or securities offering plans, nor has our Company or any of our subsidiaries received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanctions regarding our overseas listing and offering of securities from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities. We have filed the legal opinion of our PRC counsel as part of our Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filing on Form F-1 as exhibit 5.2. However, since these statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government are newly published and official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued, it is highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on us. The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) or other PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations or implementing rules that requires our Company, or any of our subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before conducting securities offerings in the U.S. It is possible that formal regulation will require companies listed outside the PRC which have/had PRC interests to submit registration or filings to CSRC retrospectively. If any of our subsidiaries or the holding company were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from PRC authorities to conduct securities offerings in the U.S., our ability to conduct our business may be materially impacted, we will not be able to continue listing on any U.S. exchange, continue to offer securities to investors, the interest of the investors may be materially adversely affected and our ordinary shares may significantly decrease in value or become worthless.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated in incorporated in Cayman Islands on July 13, 2011. On December 28, 2016, the Company changed its name from Wowo Limited to JMU Limited. On April 30, 2020, the Company changed its name from JMU Limited to Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 1330 Avenue of Americas, Fl 33, New York, 10019, United States and the telephone number at that address is +1(949)-678-9653. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus and is not incorporated by reference herein or therein. We have included our website address in this prospectus solely for informational purposes and you should not consider any information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website as part of this prospectus or in deciding whether to purchase our securities.

The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus:

Cash Distribution

Under our current corporate structure, to fund any liquidity requirements an entity in our corporate group may have, our subsidiaries may rely on loans or payments from MFH Cayman and MFH Cayman may receive distributions or cash transfers from our subsidiaries. As of the date of this prospectus, there are no currency exchange restrictions or limitations imposed on the transfer of capital within our corporate structure, except that the transfers are subject to money laundering and anti-corruption rules and regulations. However, there is no guarantee that the applicable government will not promulgate new laws or regulations that may impose such restrictions on currency exchanges in the future. As of the date of this prospectus, during the past three completed fiscal years, some transfers of non-cash assets occurred between MFH Cayman and its subsidiaries, in which MFH Cayman repaid the debts of its PRC subsidiary, MFH Cayman advanced expenses for Ucon, MFH Cayman transferred fixed assets to MFH Tech and MFH Cayman collected money on behalf of its other subsidiaries. The following table illustrates the breakdown of the cash transfer within our organization for the year ended December 31, 2022:

Lender		Borrower		Amount Due
Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.		Mercurity Fintech Technology Holding Inc.		$	50,000

The following table illustrates the breakdown of our outstanding loans within our group as of December 31, 2022 (including the non-cash transfers of claims and obligations):

Lender	Borrower	Amount Due
Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.	Mercurity Fintech Technology Holding Inc.	$	62,000
Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.	Ucon Capital (HK) Limited	$	2,093,608
Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.	Beijing Lianji Future Technology Co., Ltd	$	743,855
Mercurity Limited	Mercurity Fintech Holding Inc.	$	1,100,240

As of the date of this prospectus, neither MFH Cayman nor its subsidiaries has a cash management policy. During the past three completed fiscal years, none of MFH Cayman’s subsidiaries has paid dividends, made distributions, transferred cash or other assets by kind to MFH Cayman or its shareholders directly or indirectly. The current laws and regulations of the PRC on currency exchange requires registration with or approval from the SAFE for conversion of RMB into foreign currency and remission out of mainland China to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. However, there is no assurance that the Chinese government will not, in the future, intervene or impose restrictions or limitations on the Company’s ability to generate income out of mainland China and Hong Kong.

As of the date of this prospectus, during the past two completed fiscal years, none of our subsidiaries has made any dividends or distributions to MFH Cayman, nor has MFH Cayman made any dividends or distributions to its shareholders. We intend to keep any future earnings to re-invest in and finance the expansion of our business. If MFH Cayman determines to pay dividends on any of its ordinary shares in the future, as a holding company, it may derive funds for such distribution from its own cash position or contributions from its subsidiaries.

Implications of being a “Foreign Private Issuer”

We are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to “foreign private issuers,” and under those requirements, we file reports with the SEC. As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, we are subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. For example, we are not required to issue quarterly reports, proxy statements that comply with the requirements applicable to U.S. domestic reporting companies, or individual executive compensation information that is as detailed as that required of U.S. domestic reporting companies. We also have four months after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual report with the SEC and are not required to file current reports as frequently or promptly as U.S. domestic reporting companies. Our officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the requirements to report transactions in our equity securities and from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices instead of those otherwise required under the Nasdaq Stock Market rules for domestic U.S. issuers and are not required to be compliant with all Nasdaq Stock Market rules as of the date of our initial listing on Nasdaq as would domestic U.S. issuers. These exemptions and leniencies will reduce the frequency and scope of information and protections available to you in comparison to those applicable to a U.S. domestic reporting company. We intend to take advantage of the exemptions available to us as a foreign private issuer.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described in Part I, Item 3, D. Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, together with the other information set forth in this prospectus, and in the other documents that we include or incorporate by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our Current Reports on Form 6-K and other filings we make with the SEC, the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement and any risk factors set forth in our other filings with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, before making a decision about investing in our ordinary shares. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. If any risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. In such an event, the trading price of our ordinary shares could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.

The risk factor titled “Risk Factors—Domestic and international regulatory regimes governing blockchain technologies, digital assets, distribution and utilization of digital assets are still evolving and uncertain, and any changes in related regulations or policies may have adverse consequences on the development and value of certain digital assets.” described in Part I, Item 3, D. Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F is hereby replaced in its entirely by the following:

“Certain crypto assets and cryptocurrencies have been identified as a “security” in certain jurisdictions, and we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Cryptocurrency mining operations constitute a portion of our business and regulatory developments in the characterization of such crypto assets will have an impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The SEC and its staff have taken the position that certain crypto assets fall within the definition of a “security” under the U.S. federal securities laws. The legal test for determining whether any given crypto asset is a security is a highly complex, fact-driven analysis that evolves over time, and any eventual court ruling and outcome is difficult to predict. The SEC generally does not provide advance guidance or confirmation on the status of any particular crypto asset as a security. Furthermore, the SEC’s views in this area have evolved over time and it is difficult to predict the direction or timing of any continuing evolution.

Several foreign jurisdictions have taken a broad-based approach to classifying crypto assets as “securities,” while other foreign jurisdictions, such as Switzerland, Malta, and Singapore, have adopted a narrower approach. As a result, certain crypto assets may be deemed to be a “security” under the laws of some jurisdictions but not others. Various foreign jurisdictions may, in the future, adopt additional laws, regulations, or directives that affect the characterization of crypto assets as “securities.”

The classification of a crypto asset as a security under applicable law has wide-ranging implications for businesses engaged in operations relating to crypto assets. For example, a crypto asset that is a security in the United States may generally only be offered or sold in the United States pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC or in an offering that qualifies for an exemption from registration. Persons that effect transactions in crypto assets that are securities in the United States may be subject to registration with the SEC as a “broker” or “dealer.” Platforms that bring together purchasers and sellers to trade crypto assets that are securities in the United States are generally subject to registration as national securities exchanges, or must qualify for an exemption, such as by being operated by a registered broker-dealer as an ATS in compliance with rules for ATSs. Persons facilitating clearing and settlement of securities may be subject to registration with the SEC as a clearing agency. Foreign jurisdictions may have similar licensing, registration, and qualification requirements.

Further, if Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins or any other crypto asset is deemed to be a security under any U.S. federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, or in a proceeding in a court of law or otherwise, it may have adverse consequences for such crypto asset. For instance, all transactions in such crypto asset would have to be registered with the SEC or other foreign authority, or conducted in accordance with an exemption from registration, which could severely limit its liquidity, usability and transactability. Moreover, the networks on which such crypto assets are utilized may be required to be regulated as securities intermediaries, and subject to applicable rules, which could effectively render the network impracticable for its existing purposes. Further, it could draw negative publicity and a decline in the general acceptance of the crypto asset. Also, it may make it difficult for such crypto asset to be traded, cleared, and custodied as compared to other crypto assets that are not considered to be securities. As such, our holdings of cryptocurrencies from our mining operations, as well as our storage and trading of such cryptocurrencies on third party service provider platforms, may be adversely affected by any fall in value of cryptocurrencies and any increased restrictions on their trading and liquidity. Whether our activities require registration or the crypto assets we hold would be considered securities is a risk-based assessment, and not a legal standard binding on a regulatory body or court, and does not preclude legal or regulatory action.”

Additionally, we are also subject to the following risk factors.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

The enactment of legislation imposing moratoriums on issuing permits for certain cryptocurrency mining operations that use carbon-based power sources and similar laws could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

In the 2021-2022 Legislative Session, the New York State Senate introduced Bill S6486D, which establishes a two-year moratorium on cryptocurrency mining operations that use proof-of-work authentication methods to validate blockchain transactions. Such restrictions and moratoriums will materially limit the scope of our business operations if we choose to carry out cryptocurrency mining operations in such jurisdictions where they are prohibited. Our cryptocurrency mining facilities are located in New Jersey, and at present we remain unaffected by the potential passage of Bill S6486D. Nonetheless, if a law similar to Bill S6486D were passed and comes into effect in New Jersey or other jurisdictions in which we may carry out cryptocurrency mining operations in the future, this might force us to relocate our cryptocurrency mining operations, which will incur time and resources, and may have other material effects on our business. The passage of any other crypto legislation or regulation which may be directly or indirectly related to our business model may also material effects on your business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Blockchain mining activities are energy-intensive, which may restrict the geographic locations of miners and have a negative environmental impact.

Blockchain mining activities are inherently energy-intensive and electricity costs account for a significant portion of the overall mining costs. The availability and cost of electricity will restrict the geographic locations of mining activities. Any shortage of electricity supply or increase in electricity cost in a jurisdiction may negatively impact the viability and the expected economic return for blockchain mining activities in that jurisdiction, which may in turn negatively impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, the significant consumption of electricity may have a negative environmental impact, including contribution to climate change, which may give rise to public opinion against allowing the use of electricity for blockchain mining activities or government measures restricting or prohibiting the use of electricity for such mining activities, and may also invite adverse media coverage or public opinion against our brand. Regulators may also impose regulatory restrictions on blockchain mining activities. Any such development in the jurisdictions where we carry out our cryptocurrency mining could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental concerns associated with cryptocurrencies mining could have adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Engaging in cryptocurrency mining may result in certain environmental harms and transition risks related to climate change that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, as mining operations consume a substantial amount of power, which may contribute to increased carbon emissions. Moreover, recent policy and regulatory changes relating to limiting carbon emissions could impose additional operational and compliance burdens on our cryptocurrency mining operations, such as more stringent reporting requirements or higher compliance fees. Such regulations may lead to increased credit risks, which may lead financiers and lender to be less willing to enter into business relationships with us, as well as increased litigation risks related to climate change in the jurisdictions in which we carry out mining operations. Further, some businesses as well as some investors may have ceased accepting cryptocurrencies for certain types of purchases, and stopped investing in businesses involved in cryptocurrencies businesses due to environmental concerns associated with cryptocurrencies mining. Such developments could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to an extensive, highly evolving and uncertain regulatory landscape and any adverse changes to, or our failure to comply with, any laws and regulations could adversely affect our brand, reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our business is subject to extensive laws, rules, regulations, policies, orders, determinations, directives, treaties, and legal and regulatory interpretations and guidance in the markets in which we operate, including those governing financial services and banking, securities, broker-dealers, crypto asset exchange and transfer, cross-border and domestic money and crypto asset transmission, privacy, data governance, data protection, cybersecurity, fraud detection, payment services (including payment processing and settlement services), anti-money laundering, and counter-terrorist financing. Many of these legal and regulatory regimes were adopted prior to the advent of the internet, mobile technologies, crypto assets, and related technologies. As a result, some applicable laws and regulations do not contemplate or address unique issues associated with the cryptoeconomy, are subject to significant uncertainty, and vary widely across U.S. federal, state, and local and international jurisdictions. These legal and regulatory regimes, including the laws, rules, and regulations thereunder, evolve frequently and may be modified, interpreted, and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and may conflict with one another. Moreover, the complexity and evolving nature of our business and the significant uncertainty surrounding the regulation of the cryptoeconomy requires us to exercise our judgment as to whether certain laws, rules, and regulations apply to us, and it is possible that governmental bodies and regulators may disagree with our conclusions. To the extent we have not complied with such laws, rules, and regulations, we could be subject to significant fines, revocation of licenses, limitations on our products and services, reputational harm, and other regulatory consequences, each of which may be significant and could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our operating results may fluctuate and continue to fluctuate, including due to the highly volatile nature of crypto.

Our business operations include cryptocurrency mining and the provision of digital consultation services, and thus our operating results are dependent on crypto assets and the broader cryptoeconomy. Due to the highly volatile nature of the cryptoeconomy and the prices of crypto assets, which have experienced and continue to experience significant volatility, our operating results have, and may continue to, fluctuate significantly in accordance with market sentiments and movements in the broader cryptoeconomy. Our operating results will continue to fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are unpredictable and in certain instances are outside of our control, including:

changes in the legislative or regulatory environment, or actions by U.S. or foreign governments or regulators, including fines, orders, or consent decrees;

investments we make in the development of products and services as well as technology offered to our developers, international expansion, and sales and marketing;

our ability to establish and maintain partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, or strategic alliances with third parties;

market conditions of, and overall sentiment towards, the cryptoeconomy, including the trading prices of crptocurrencies;

macroeconomic conditions, including interest rates and inflation;

adverse legal proceedings or regulatory enforcement actions, judgments, settlements, or other legal proceeding and enforcement-related costs;

the development and introduction of existing and new products and services by us or our competitors;

our ability to control costs, including our operating expenses incurred to grow and expand our operations and to remain competitive;

system failure, outages or interruptions, including with respect to third-party crypto networks;

our lack of control over decentralized or third-party blockchains and networks that may experience downtime, cyber-attacks, critical failures, errors, bugs, corrupted files, data losses, or other similar software failures, outages, breaches and losses;

breaches of security or privacy;

As a result of these factors, it is difficult for us to forecast growth trends accurately and our business and future prospects are difficult to evaluate, particularly in the short term.

Our revenue is partially dependent on the prices of crypto assets. If such price or volume declines, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

We generate a portion of our total revenue from our cryptocurrency mining operations. Declines in the price of crypto assets may result in lower total revenue to us, cause us to recognize losses, and affect the price of our shares.

The price of crypto assets and associated demand for buying, selling, and trading crypto assets have historically been subject to significant volatility. For instance, in 2017, the value of certain crypto assets, including Bitcoin, experienced steep increases in value, and our customer base expanded worldwide. The increases in value of certain crypto assets, including Bitcoin, from 2016 to 2017, and then again in 2021, were followed by a steep decline in 2018 and again in 2022, which has adversely affected our net revenue and operating results. If the value of crypto assets and transaction volume do not recover or further decline, our ability to generate revenue may suffer and customer demand for our products and services may decline, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The price and trading volume of any crypto asset is subject to significant uncertainty and volatility, depending on a number of factors, including:

market conditions of, and overall sentiment towards, crypto assets and the cryptoeconomy, including, but not limited to, as a result of actions taken by or developments of other companies in the cryptoeconomy;

changes in liquidity, market-making volume, and trading activities;

trading activities on other crypto platforms worldwide, many of which may be unregulated, and may include manipulative activities;

investment and trading activities of highly active consumer and institutional users, speculators, miners, and investors;

the speed and rate at which crypto is able to gain adoption as a medium of exchange, utility, store of value, consumptive asset, security instrument, or other financial assets worldwide, if at all;

decreased user and investor confidence in crypto assets and crypto platforms;

negative publicity and events relating to the cryptoeconomy;

unpredictable social media coverage or “trending” of, or other rumors and market speculation regarding crypto assets;

the ability for crypto assets to meet user and investor demands;

the functionality and utility of crypto assets and their associated ecosystems and networks, including crypto assets designed for use in various applications;

consumer preferences and perceived value of crypto assets and crypto asset markets;

increased competition from other payment services or other crypto assets that exhibit better speed, security, scalability, or other characteristics;

regulatory or legislative changes and updates affecting the cryptoeconomy;

the characterization of crypto assets under the laws of various jurisdictions around the world;

the adoption of unfavorable taxation policies on crypto asset investments by governmental entities;

legal and regulatory changes affecting the operations of miners and validators of blockchain networks, including limitations and prohibitions on mining activities, or new legislative or regulatory requirements as a result of growing environmental concerns around the use of energy in bitcoin and other proof-of-work mining activities;

ongoing technological viability and security of crypto assets and their associated smart contracts, applications and networks, including vulnerabilities against hacks and scalability;

monetary policies of governments, trade restrictions, and fiat currency devaluations; and

national and international economic and political conditions.

There is no assurance that any crypto asset in which we conduct mining or related operations will maintain its value or that there will be meaningful levels of trading activities and liquidity. In the event that the price of crypto assets decline, our business, operating results, and financial condition, as well as our share price, would be adversely affected, and we may have to recognize losses or impairments in our investments or other crypto assets due to disruptions in the crypto asset markets.

The future development and growth of crypto is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to predict and evaluate. If crypto does not grow as we expect, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Crypto assets built on blockchain technology were only introduced in 2008 and remain in the early stages of development. In addition, different crypto assets are designed for different purposes. Bitcoin, for instance, was designed to serve as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, while Ethereum was designed to be a smart contract and decentralized application platform. Many other crypto networks-ranging from cloud computing to tokenized securities networks-have only recently been established. The further growth and development of any crypto assets and their underlying networks and other cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the creation, transfer, and usage of crypto assets represent a new and evolving paradigm that is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate, including:

many crypto networks have limited operating histories, have not been validated in production, and are still in the process of developing and making significant decisions that will affect the design, supply, issuance, functionality, and governance of their respective crypto assets and underlying blockchain networks, any of which could adversely affect their respective crypto assets;

many crypto networks are in the process of implementing software upgrades and other changes to their protocols, which could introduce bugs, security risks, or adversely affect the respective crypto networks;

several large networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, are developing new features to address fundamental speed, scalability, and energy usage issues. If these issues are not successfully addressed, or are unable to receive widespread adoption, it could adversely affect the underlying crypto assets;

security issues, bugs, and software errors have been identified with many crypto assets and their underlying blockchain networks, some of which have been exploited by malicious actors. There are also inherent security weaknesses in some crypto assets, such as when creators of certain crypto networks use procedures that could allow hackers to counterfeit tokens. Any weaknesses identified with a crypto asset could adversely affect its price, security, liquidity, and adoption. If a malicious actor or botnet (a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers) obtains a majority of the compute or staking power on a crypto network, as has happened in the past, it may be able to manipulate transactions, which could cause financial losses to holders, damage the network’s reputation and security, and adversely affect its value;

the development of new technologies for mining, such as improved application-specific integrated circuits (commonly referred to as ASICs), or changes in industry patterns, such as the consolidation of mining power in a small number of large mining farms, could reduce the security of blockchain networks, lead to increased liquid supply of crypto assets, and reduce a crypto’s price and attractiveness;

if rewards and transaction fees for miners or validators on any particular crypto network are not sufficiently high to attract and retain miners, a crypto network’s security and speed may be adversely affected, increasing the likelihood of a malicious attack;

many crypto assets have concentrated ownership or an “admin key”, allowing a small group of holders to have significant unilateral control and influence over key decisions related to their crypto networks, such as governance decisions and protocol changes, as well as the market price of such crypto assets;

the governance of many decentralized blockchain networks is by voluntary consensus and open competition, and many developers are not directly compensated for their contributions. As a result, there may be a lack of consensus or clarity on the governance of any particular crypto network, a lack of incentives for developers to maintain or develop the network, and other unforeseen issues, any of which could result in unexpected or undesirable errors, bugs, or changes, or stymie such network’s utility and ability to respond to challenges and grow; and

many crypto networks are in the early stages of developing partnerships and collaborations, all of which may not succeed and adversely affect the usability and adoption of the respective crypto assets.

Various other technical issues have also been uncovered from time to time that resulted in disabled functionalities, exposure of certain users’ personal information, theft of users’ assets, and other negative consequences, and which required resolution with the attention and efforts of their global miner, user, and development communities. If any such risks or other risks materialize, and in particular if they are not resolved, the development and growth of crypto may be significantly affected and, as a result, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Any failure to safeguard and manage our crypto assets could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We believe we have developed and maintained administrative, technical, and physical safeguards and safeguard our crypto assets and which are designed to comply with applicable legal requirements and industry standards. However, it is nevertheless possible that hackers, employees or service providers acting contrary to our policies, or others could circumvent these safeguards to improperly access our systems or documents, or the systems or documents of our business partners, agents, or service providers, and improperly access, obtain, misuse crypto assets and funds. The methods used to obtain unauthorized access, disable, or degrade service or sabotage systems are also constantly changing and evolving and may be difficult to anticipate or detect for long periods of time. Any loss of cash or crypto assets could result in a substantial business disruption, adverse reputational impact, inability to compete with our competitors, and regulatory investigations, inquiries, or actions. Any security incident resulting in a compromise of crypto assets could result in substantial costs to us, expose us to regulatory enforcement actions, limit our ability to provide services, subject us to litigation, significant financial losses, damage our reputation, and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.

The theft, loss, or destruction of private keys required to access any crypto assets held in custody for our own account may be irreversible. If we are unable to access our private keys or if we experience a hack or other data loss relating to our ability to access any crypto assets, it could cause regulatory scrutiny, reputational harm, and other losses.

Crypto assets are generally controllable only by the possessor of the unique private key relating to the digital wallet in which the crypto assets are held. While blockchain protocols typically require public addresses to be published when used in a transaction, private keys must be safeguarded and kept private in order to prevent a third party from accessing the crypto assets held in such a wallet. To the extent that any of the private keys relating to our wallets containing crypto assets is lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised or unavailable, and no backup of the private key is accessible, we will be unable to access the crypto assets held in the related wallet. Further, we cannot provide assurance that our wallet will not be hacked or compromised. Crypto assets and blockchain technologies have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, hacking, or other malicious activities. Any loss of private keys relating to, or hack or other compromise of, digital wallets used to store our crypto assets could adversely affect our ability to access or sell crypto assets, and subject us to significant financial losses in addition to hurting our brand and reputation, result in significant losses, and adversely impact our business.

Any gaps in our risk management processes and policies in respect of crypto asset could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

In late February 2022, Wei Zhu, our former acting Chief Financial Officer, former Co-Chief Executive Officer, and a former member and Co-Chairperson of the Board, and Minghao Li, a former member of the Board, were suspected of certain criminal offenses unrelated to our Company’s operations and were detained by the Economic Crime Investigation Detachment of Sheyang County Public Security Bureau, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, People’s Republic of China. At the same time, Sheyang Public Security Bureau wrongly seized the digital assets hardware cold wallet belonging to the Company, along with the cryptocurrencies stored in the hardware cold wallet. Our Company has since undergone major management personnel changes. As of the date of this prospectus, our board and management have not identified any material gaps in our risk management processes and policies in relation to our business model and any crypo assets that we hold. Nonetheless, if any gaps in our risk management processes and policies were to arise, such deficiencies could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. In turn, such deficiencies would require our board and management to make appropriate changes to our risk management processes and policies.

The assertion of jurisdiction by U.S. and foreign regulators and other government entities over crypto assets and crypto asset markets could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We operate our business in a number of jurisdictions, including the U.S. and China. In the case that U.S. and foreign regulators or other government entities assert jurisdiction over a business in the crypto asset markets, this could lead to conflicting laws or directives which, in turn, could impede our business operations. Moreover, such conflicting laws or directives will make it difficult to determine which laws, rules, and regulations apply to our business. Additionally, U.S. and foreign regulators as well as other government entities may disagree with our determination as to which laws, rules, and regulations apply to our business. This could lead to additional compliance cost burdens, as well as increasing our risks of running afoul of laws and regulations from certain jurisdictions in which we operate our business.

Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC

We conduct a portion of our business operations in China and are subject to the attendant risks of operating in China, including regulatory risks resulting from political and regulatory changes which may be swift and unexpected.

We are not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company with a portion of our operations conducted by our subsidiaries based in China. Prior to 2022, the majority of our operations were based in mainland China. During 2022, we divested our software development business in mainland China, established a new management team, and relocated our headquarters to the United States with the newly established Hong Kong office as the operational hub for our business in the Asia Pacific region. As a result of the recent operational reorganization, the majority of our operations are currently based in the U.S. while part of our technical and back-office team in mainland China.

Investors in our securities are purchasing equity interest in MFH Cayman, a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with business operations in China and the U.S. and therefore, investors may never hold equity interests in any of our Chinese operating entities. This operating structure may involve unique risks to investors. There are significant legal and operational risks associated with being based in or having a portion of business operations in China. Any of such risks and uncertainties could result in material changes in our operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer ordinary shares and/or other securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a company with operations in China to conduct business. The PRC government has initiated a series of regulatory actions and has made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement and data privacy protection. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not believe that we are subject to: (i) the cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China, or CAC, as our products and services are not offered to individual users but to our institutional customers, we do not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations, and our business does not involve the collection of data that affects or may affect national security, implicates cybersecurity, or involves any type of restricted industry; or (ii) merger control review by China’s anti-monopoly enforcement agency due to the fact that we do not engage in monopolistic behaviors that are subject to these statements or regulatory actions. However, since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, and, if any, the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, ability to accept foreign investments and listing of our securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. In addition, changes in the legal, political and economic policies of the Chinese government, the relations between China and the United States, or Chinese or U.S. regulations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any such changes could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors, and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. The PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene with or influence our operations as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. The PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities and foreign investment in China-based companies like us. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless.

LISTING DETAILS

Our ordinary shares currently trade on NASDAQ under the symbol “MFH”. As of the date of this prospectus, our only listed class of securities are our ordinary shares. All of our ordinary shares, including those to be offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus, have the same rights and privileges. For more information, see “Description of Share Capital and Governing Documents—Our Articles of Association—Ordinary shares”.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares by the selling shareholders. All net proceeds from the sale of the ordinary shares will go to the selling shareholders.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Since our inception, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our ordinary shares. We have no present plan to pay any dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our business.

Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that our company may only pay dividends out of profits or share premium, and provided always that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend at a general meeting of our company, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our board of directors. Our board of directors’ decision to declare and pay dividends may be based on a number of factors, including our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our U.S., Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries, our general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant. Cash dividends on our ordinary shares, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars.

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. In order for us to distribute any dividends to our shareholders, we will rely on dividends distributed by our US, Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries. Certain payments from our PRC subsidiary to us are subject to PRC taxes, such as withholding income tax. In addition, regulations in China currently permit payment of dividends of a PRC company only out of accumulated distributable after-tax profits as determined in accordance with its articles of association and the accounting standards and regulations in China. Our PRC subsidiary is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards every year to a statutory common reserve fund until the aggregate amount of such reserve fund reaches 50% of the registered capital of such subsidiary. Such statutory reserves are not distributable as loans, advances or cash dividends. Our PRC subsidiary may set aside a certain amount of its after-tax profits to other funds at its discretion. These reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to the company’s parent in the form of loans, advances or dividends. See our annual report filed on Form 20-F with the SEC on April 25, 2023, “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC—Governmental control of currency conversion could affect the value of our shares. We rely principally on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our US, Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we might have. Any limitation on the ability of our US, Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us could have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.”

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

The 32,087,130 ordinary shares being offered by the selling shareholders are the aggregate of ordinary shares previously issued to the selling shareholders in the closing of the Private Placements. For additional information regarding the Private Placements, see “Prospectus Summary—Private Placements”. We are registering the ordinary shares in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the ordinary shares for resale from time to time.

Other than the relationships described herein, to our knowledge, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

Any selling shareholders that are affiliates of broker-dealers and any participating broker-dealers would be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions or discounts given to any such selling shareholders or broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. To our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders listed below are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers.

The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the ordinary shares, as of May 9, 2023.

The third column lists the ordinary shares being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.

Because the number of ordinary shares may be adjusted for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions, the number of ordinary shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of ordinary shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the ordinary shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.

As explained below under “Plan of Distribution,” we have agreed with the selling shareholders to bear certain expenses (other than broker discounts and commissions, if any) in connection with the registration statement, which includes this prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the ordinary shares previously issued, to permit the resale of these ordinary shares by the holders of these securities from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the ordinary shares. Unlike an initial public offering, any resale by the selling shareholders of the ordinary shares is not being underwritten by any investment bank. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the selling shareholders’ ordinary shares.

The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the ordinary shares beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the ordinary shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The ordinary shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

in the over-the-counter market;

in transactions other than on these exchanges or systems or the over-the-counter market;

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the selling shareholders affect such transactions by selling ordinary shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from purchasers of the ordinary shares for whom they may act as an agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).

The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the ordinary shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the ordinary shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the ordinary shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. The selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of ordinary shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the ordinary shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states, the ordinary shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the ordinary shares registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the ordinary shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the ordinary shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the ordinary shares.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the ordinary shares pursuant to the Private Placements, estimated to be $101,500 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the Private Placements, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholders specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related Private Placements, or we may be entitled to contribution.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the ordinary shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

Ordinary shares

General

As of April 5, 2023, our authorized share capital consisted of US$250,000 divided into 62,500,000 ordinary shares of US$0.004 each, of which 46,538,116 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding. All of our outstanding ordinary shares have been, or at the time of the Closing, will be, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. Our ordinary shares are not redeemable and are not subject to any preemptive right.

All of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Our ordinary shares are issued in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of members. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their ordinary shares. Our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not permit us to issue bearer shares.

Dividends

The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our shareholders or board of directors subject to the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, or the Companies Act, and to the fourth amended and restated articles of association. Under Cayman Islands law, dividends may be declared and paid only out of funds legally available therefor, namely out of either profit or our share premium account, and provided further that a dividend may not be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Voting Rights

Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on all matters upon which the ordinary shares are entitled to vote. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands.

A poll may be demanded by the chairman of such meeting or any one shareholder present in person or by proxy.

An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of votes attached to the ordinary shares cast in a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of votes cast attached to the ordinary shares in a meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our memorandum and articles of association.

Transfer of ordinary shares

Subject to the restrictions contained in our fourth amended and restated articles of association, as applicable, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up to a person of whom it does not approve, or any share issued under any share incentive scheme for employees upon which a restriction on transfer imposed thereby still subsists. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:

the instrument of transfer is lodged with us or such other place at which the register of members is kept in accordance with Cayman Islands law, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

the ordinary shares transferred are fully paid and free of any lien in favor of us;

a fee of such maximum sum as the Nasdaq Global Market may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as the board may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof; and

the transfer is not to more than four joint holders.

If our directors refuse to register a transfer they are required, within three months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, to send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice requirement of the Nasdaq Global Market, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our directors may from time to time determine; provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year as our directors may determine.

Restructuring

A company may present a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the appointment of a restructuring officer on the grounds that the company:

(a) is or is likely to become unable to pay its debts; and

(b) intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors (or classes thereof) either pursuant to the Companies Act, the law of a foreign country or by way of a consensual restructuring.

The Grand Court may, among other things, make an order appointing a restructuring officer upon hearing of such petition, with such powers and to carry out such functions as the court may order. At any time (i) after the presentation of a petition for the appointment of a restructuring officer but before an order for the appointment of a restructuring officer has been made, and (ii) when an order for the appointment of a restructuring officer is made, until such order has been discharged, no suit, action or other proceedings (other than criminal proceedings) shall be proceeded with or commenced against the company, no resolution to wind up the company shall be passed, and no winding up petition may be presented against the company, except with the leave of the court. However, notwithstanding the presentation of a petition for the appointment of a restructuring officer or the appointment of a restructuring officer, a creditor who has security over the whole or part of the assets of the company is entitled to enforce the security without the leave of the court and without reference to the restructuring officer appointed.

Liquidation

On a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on redemption or purchase of ordinary shares), assets available for distribution among the holders of ordinary shares will be distributed among the holders of the ordinary shares on a pro rata basis. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders proportionately.

Calls on ordinary shares and Forfeiture of ordinary shares

Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their ordinary shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 clear days prior to the specified time of payment. The ordinary shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

Share Repurchases

We are empowered under our fourth amended and restated memorandum of association to purchase our shares subject to the Companies Act and our fourth amended and restated articles of association. Our fourth amended and restated articles of association provide that this power is exercisable by our board of directors in such manner, upon such terms and subject to such conditions as it in its absolute discretion thinks fit subject to the Companies Act and, where applicable, the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market and the applicable regulatory authority.

Variation of Rights of Shares

If at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the special rights attached to any class of shares may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, be varied with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. Consequently, the rights of any class of shares cannot be detrimentally altered without a majority of two-thirds of the vote of all of the shares in that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights will not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.

General Meetings of Shareholders

Shareholders' meetings may be convened by our board of directors. Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company's articles of association. Our fourth amended and restated articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than 30% of our voting share capital in issue, to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting; however, our fourth amended and restated articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders. Advance notice of at least ten clear days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders' meeting and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in our company.

Retirement, Election and Removal of Directors

Unless otherwise determined by the members in the general meeting, our fourth amended and restated articles of association provide that our board will consist of not less than three directors. There are no provisions relating to retirement of directors upon reaching any age limit.

Any director on our board may be removed by way of an ordinary resolution of shareholders. Any vacancies on our board of directors or additions to the existing board of directors can be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors. The shareholders may also by ordinary resolution elect any person to be a director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing board of directors.

Any director appointed by the board of directors to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office for the remaining term of the director in whose place he is appointed and shall be eligible for re-election at the expiry of the said term.

Grounds for vacating a director

The office of a director shall be vacated if the director:

resigns his office by notice in writing delivered to us or tendered at a meeting of the board of directors;

becomes of unsound mind or dies;

without special leave of absence from the board of directors, is absent from meetings of the board of directors for six consecutive months and the board of directors resolves that his office be vacated;

becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or suspends payment or compounds with his creditors;

is prohibited by law from being a director; or

ceases to be a director by virtue of any provisions of Cayman Islands law or is removed from office pursuant to the fourth amended and restated articles of association.

Proceedings of Board of Directors

Our fourth amended and restated articles of association provide that our business is to be managed and conducted by our board of directors. The quorum necessary for the board meeting may be fixed by the board and, unless so fixed at another number, will be two directors.

Inspection of Books and Records

Holders of our ordinary shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records (except for our memorandum and articles of association, our register of mortgages and charges and special resolutions of our shareholders). However, we will in our fourth amended and restated articles of association provide our shareholders with the right to inspect our list of shareholders and to receive annual audited financial statements. See "Where You Can Find More Information".

Changes in Capital

We may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe;

consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than our existing shares;

without prejudice to the powers of the board of directors under our articles of association, divide our shares into several classes and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing shares attach thereto respectively and preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges, conditions or such restrictions which in the absence of any such determination by the Company in general meeting, as the board of directors may determine;

sub-divide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount; or

cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

We may by special resolution reduce our share capital or any capital redemption reserve in any manner permitted by law.

Register of Members

Under Cayman Islands law, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein

(a)

the names and addresses of the members, together with a statement of the shares held by each member, and such statement shall confirm (i) the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member; (ii) the number and category of shares held by each member, and (iii) whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the articles of association of the company, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional;

(b)

the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and

(c)

the date on which any person ceased to be a member.

Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e. the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members should be deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Once our register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.

If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in or omitted from our register of members, or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a member of our company, the person or member aggrieved (or any member of our company or our company itself) may apply to the Cayman Islands Grand Court for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.

Differences in Corporate Law

The Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the Older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent statutory enactments in England. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (a) "merger" means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company and (b) a "consolidation" means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a combined company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company's articles of association.

The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Dissenting shareholders have the right to be paid the fair value of their shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) if they follow the required procedures, subject to certain exceptions. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by (a) 75% in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders, as the case may be, or (b) a majority in number representing 75% in value of the creditors or each class of creditors, as the case may be, with whom the arrangement is to be made, that are, in each case, present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act.

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Shareholders' Suits

In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, there are exceptions to the foregoing principle, including when:

a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires;

the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and

those who control the company are perpetrating a "fraud on the minority".

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association permit indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from dishonesty or fraud which may attach to such directors or officers. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of Association

Some provisions of our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders.

However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.

Directors' Fiduciary Duties

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company—a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him to do so) and a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

In addition, directors of a Cayman Islands company must not place themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests. However, this obligation may be varied by the company's articles of association, which may permit a director to vote on a matter in which he has a personal interest provided that he has disclosed that nature of his interest to the board. Our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that a director with an interest (direct or indirect) in a contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement with the company must declare the nature of his interest at the meeting of the board of directors at which the question of entering into the contract or arrangement is first considered, if he knows his interest then exists, or in any other case at the first meeting of the board of directors after he is or has become so interested.

A general notice may be given at a meeting of the board of directors to the effect that (i) the director is a member/officer of a specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or arrangement which may after the date of the notice in writing be made with that company or firm; or (ii) he is to be regarded as interested in any contract or arrangement which may after the date of the notice in writing to the board of directors be made with a specified person who is connected with him, will be deemed sufficient declaration of interest. Following the disclosure being made pursuant to our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and subject to any separate requirement for Audit Committee approval under applicable law or the listing rules of Nasdaq, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a director may vote in respect of any contract or arrangement in which such director is interested and may be counted in the quorum at such meeting. However, even if a director discloses his interest and is therefore permitted to vote, he must still comply with his duty to act bona fide in the best interest of our company.

In comparison, under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

Shareholder Proposals

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. The Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide shareholders an express right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, but in keeping with common law, Delaware corporations generally afford shareholders an opportunity to make proposals and nominations provided that they comply with the notice provisions in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

There are no statutory requirements under Cayman Islands law allowing our shareholders to requisition a shareholders' meeting. However, under our fourth amended and restated articles of association, on the requisition of shareholders representing not less than 30% of the voting rights entitled to vote at general meetings, the board shall convene an extraordinary general meeting. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders' annual general meetings. Our fourth amended and restated articles of association provides that we may (but shall not be obliged to) in each calendar year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting.

Cumulative Voting

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation's certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder's voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under Cayman Islands law, our fourth amended and restated articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Removal of Directors

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our fourth amended and restated articles of association, directors may be removed by an ordinary resolution of shareholders.

Transactions with Interested Shareholders

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws that is approved by its shareholders, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an "interested shareholder" for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target's outstanding voting stock or who or which is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target's board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

Dissolution; Winding Up

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation's outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

Under the Companies Act and our fourth amended and restated articles of association, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

Variation of Rights of Shares

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under Cayman Islands law and our fourth amended and restated articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Amendment of Governing Documents

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation's certificate of incorporation may be amended only if adopted and declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, and the bylaws may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and may, if so provided in the certificate of incorporation, also be amended by the board of directors. Under Cayman Islands law, our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.

Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders

There are no limitations imposed by our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that require our company to disclose shareholder ownership above any particular ownership threshold.

Directors' Power to Issue Shares

Subject to applicable law, our board of directors is empowered to issue or allot shares or grant options and warrants with or without preferred, deferred, qualified or other special rights or restrictions.

Preemptive Rights

The shareholders of our company do not have preemptive right.

Other Rights

Not applicable.

TAXATION

The following is a general summary of the material Cayman Islands, People’s Republic of China and U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to an investment in our ordinary shares. The discussion is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any particular prospective purchaser. The discussion is based on laws and relevant interpretations thereof as of the date of this annual report, all of which are subject to change or different interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussion does not address U.S. state or local tax laws, or tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands, the People’s Republic of China and the United States. You should consult your own tax advisors with respect to the consequences of acquisition, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

Cayman Islands Taxation

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of the shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of the Shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of the shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

People’s Republic of China Taxation

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and the Regulations on the Implementation of the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China, enterprises established outside of China but whose “de facto management body” is located in China are considered “resident enterprises” for PRC tax purposes. Under the applicable implementation regulations, “de facto management body” is defined as the organizational body that effectively exercises overall management and control over production and business operations, personnel, finance and accounting, and properties of the enterprise. Substantially all of our management is currently based in China, and may remain in China in the future. If we are treated as a “resident enterprise” for PRC tax purposes, foreign enterprise holders of our ordinary shares may be subject to a 10% PRC income tax upon dividends payable by us and on gains realized on their sales or other dispositions of our ordinary shares. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Doing Business in China—Under the PRC enterprise income tax law, we could be classified as a ‘resident enterprise’ of China. Such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.” In addition, gains derived by our non-PRC individual shareholders from the sale of our shares may be subject to a 20% PRC withholding tax. It is unclear whether our non-PRC individual shareholders (including our ADS holders) would be subject to any PRC tax on dividends obtained by such non-PRC individual shareholders in the event we are determined to be a PRC resident enterprise. If any PRC tax were to apply to dividends realized by non-PRC individuals, it would generally apply at a rate of 20% unless a reduced rate is available under an applicable tax treaty. However, it is unclear either whether our non-PRC shareholders would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership of our ordinary shares as of the date hereof. Except where noted, this summary deals only with ordinary shares held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As used herein, the term “United States Holder” or “U.S. Holders” means a beneficial owner of our ordinary share or ADS that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

●

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

●

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

	●	an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

	●	a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

This summary does not represent a detailed description of all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences, including those that may be applicable to U.S. Holders if you are subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, such as:

●

a broker-dealer in securities or currencies;

●

a bank or other financial institution;

●

a regulated investment company;

●

a real estate investment trust;

●

an insurance company;

●

a pension plan;

●

a cooperative;

●

a tax-exempt organization (including a private foundation);

●

Certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents;

●

a person holding our ordinary shares as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, a constructive or wash sale or a straddle;

●

a dealer or trader in securities that use the mark-to-market method of accounting;

●

a person who owns or is deemed to own 10% or more of our stock (by voter or value);

●

a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or an investor therein);

●

a person whose “functional currency” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the United States dollar;

●

a person who acquires our ordinary shares through the exercise of an employee share option or otherwise as compensation; or

●

persons holding our ordinary shares in connection with a trade or business, permanent establishment, or fixed place of business outside the United States.

In addition, this discussion does not address any state, local, estate, gift, alternative minimum or non-United States tax considerations, special accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code or the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-United States income and other tax considerations of an investment in our ordinary shares.

The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, rulings, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Such authorities may be interpreted differently, replaced, revoked or modified, possibly with retroactive effect, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. No ruling has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with respect to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. In addition, this summary is based, in part, upon representations made by the depositary to us and assumes that the deposit agreement, and all other related agreements, will be performed in accordance with their terms.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partnership or their partners should consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our ordinary shares.

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on our ordinary shares

Subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, the gross amount of any distributions on our ordinary shares (including any amounts withheld to reflect PRC withholding taxes) will be taxable as dividends, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Such income (including withheld taxes) will be includable in a U.S Holder’s gross income as ordinary income on the day actually or constructively received by the U.S Holder, in the case of the ordinary shares. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received-deduction allowed to corporations under the Code.

Dividends paid to certain non-corporate United States Holders may be taxable at preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gain if we are treated as a “qualified foreign corporation,” provided certain holding period requirements are met (as discussed below).A foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on ordinary shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Our ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and thus, pursuant to the United States Treasury Department guidance, our ordinary shares are treated as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Thus, we believe that dividends we pay on our ordinary shares will meet the conditions required for the reduced tax rate.

A qualified foreign corporation also includes a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of certain income tax treaties with the United States. In the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC tax law, we believe that we would be eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC (including any protocol thereunder), or the Treaty, and if we are eligible for such benefits, dividends we pay on our ordinary shares, regardless of whether such shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, would be eligible for the reduced tax rates. For a discussion regarding whether we may be classified as a PRC resident enterprise, see “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—People’s Republic of China Taxation.”

Even if dividends we pay on our ordinary shares would be treated as paid by a qualified foreign corporation, non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for the reduced tax rates if they do not hold our ordinary shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date or to the extent that such U.S. Holders elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” under the Code. In addition, the tax rate reduction will not apply if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met. The U.S Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules in their particular circumstances.

Non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for the reduced tax rate on any dividends received from us if we are a PFIC for the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or for the preceding taxable year.

In the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC tax law, a U.S. Holder may be subject to PRC withholding taxes on dividends paid to the U.S. Holder with respect to our ordinary shares. See “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—People’s Republic of China Taxation.” In that case, PRC withholding taxes on dividends (limited, in the case of a U.S. holder who qualifies for the benefits of the Treaty, to the extent not exceeding the applicable dividend withholding rate under the Treaty) generally will be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against the U.S. Holder’s United States federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on the ordinary shares will be treated as foreign-source income and generally will constitute passive category income. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the ordinary shares (thereby increasing the amount of gain, or decreasing the amount of loss, to be recognized by a U.S. Holder on a subsequent disposition of the ordinary shares), and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange. However, we do not expect to calculate our earnings and profits in accordance with United States federal income tax principles. Therefore, U.S. Holders should expect that a distribution generally will be treated as a dividend (as discussed above).

Passive Foreign Investment Company

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to the special tax rules discussed below, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, except if the U.S. Holder makes a timely mark-to-market election discussed below.

These special tax rules generally apply to any “excess distribution” (generally any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder which is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares) we make to the U.S. Holder and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares. Distributions received in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the ordinary shares will be treated as excess distributions. Under these special tax rules:

●

the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares,

●

the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder (each, a “pre-PFIC year”), will be treated as ordinary income, and

●

the amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year; and.

●

the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares and any of our non-United States subsidiaries, including our VIEs, is also a PFIC, the U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

As an alternative to the excess distribution rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock. “Marketable stock” is generally stock that is regularly traded on a qualified exchange.

If the U.S. Holder makes an effective mark-to-market election, which is generally effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years, the U.S. Holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the ordinary shares held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares, and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss in each such taxable year the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. Any gain the U.S. Holder recognizes upon the sale or other disposition of its ordinary shares in a year when we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. If we cease to be a PFIC, the U.S. Holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that we are not a PFIC. Because a mark-to-market election cannot technically be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors about the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether making the election would be advisable in their particular circumstances.

Instead of making a mark-to-market election, a U.S. investor in a PFIC may generally mitigate the adverse consequences of the excess distribution rules described above by electing to treat the PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” under the Code. However, we do not intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make such an election.

We expect to file annual reports on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in which we will indicate whether we believe we were a PFIC for the relevant taxable year. We do not intend to make any other annual determination or otherwise notify U.S. Holders regarding our status as a PFIC for any taxable year. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding our ordinary shares if we are a PFIC in any taxable year.

If a U.S. Holder owns (or is deemed to own) our ordinary shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, the U.S. Holder must generally file an annual IRS Form 8621 or such other form as is required by the United States Treasury Department with respect to us. Taxation of Capital Gains

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize gain or loss on any sale or exchange of our ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for the ordinary shares and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares. Subject to the discussion under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company” above, such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the ordinary shares have been held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses may be subject to limitations.

Any such gain or loss the U.S. Holder recognizes will generally be treated as United States source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes, which will generally limit the availability of foreign tax credits. However, if we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and PRC tax were imposed on any gain, and if the U.S. Holder is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty, the U.S. Holder may elect to treat such gain as PRC source gain under the Treaty and, accordingly, the U.S. Holder may be able to credit the PRC tax against the U.S. Holder’s United States federal income tax liability. If the U.S. Holder is not eligible for the benefits of the Treaty or fails to make the election to treat any gain as PRC source, then the U.S. Holder generally would not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any PRC tax imposed on the disposition of our ordinary shares unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. The U.S. Holder will be eligible for the benefits of the Treaty if, for purposes of the Treaty, the U.S. Holder is a resident of the United States, and the U.S. Holder meets other factual requirements specified in the Treaty. Because qualification for the benefits of the Treaty is a fact-intensive inquiry which depends upon the particular circumstances of each investor, U.S. Holders are specifically urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their eligibility for the benefits of the Treaty and the availability of the foreign tax credit and the election to treat any gain as PRC source under their particular circumstances.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends and sales proceeds that are made within the United States or through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting, and may be subject to backup withholding, unless (i) the U.S. Holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient or (ii) in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle it to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Foreign Asset Reporting

Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and under proposed regulations, certain entities) may be required to report information relating to an interest in our ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for shares held in accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions) on IRS Form 8938. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their information reporting obligations, if any, with respect to their ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares.

This summary does not contain a detailed description of all the United States federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to you in light of your particular circumstances and, except as set forth below with respect to PRC tax considerations, does not address the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws. If you are considering the purchase, ownership or disposition of our ordinary shares, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the United States federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular situation as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Certain legal matters as to Cayman Islands law will be passed upon for us by Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP. Certain legal matters as to PRC law will be passed upon for us by Deheng Law Offices. Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP may rely upon Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP with respect to matters governed by Cayman Islands law and Deheng Law Offices with respect to matters governed by PRC law.

(1)	Including fees associated with incremental audit procedures for 2019-2021 required to comply with PCAOB standards.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands to take advantage of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as:

	·	political and economic stability;
	·	an effective judicial system;
	·	a favorable tax system;
	·	the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and
	·	the availability of professional and support services.

However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include but are not limited to:

the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the United States; and

Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Our memorandum and articles of association does not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

A substantial portion of our directors and executive officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these individuals, or to bring an action against us or these individuals in the United States, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. It may also be difficult for you to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors.

There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in a U.S. court (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), the courts of the Cayman Islands will, at common law, recognize and enforce a foreign monetary judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay a liquidated sum for which such judgment has been given, provided such judgment (i) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (iii) is final and conclusive, (iv) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty, (v) is not inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, and (vi) is not impeachable on the grounds of fraud and was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the United States courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of China would:

recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or

entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law and other applicable laws and regulations based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. There exists no treaty and few other forms of reciprocity between China and the United States or the Cayman Islands governing the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments as of the date of this prospectus. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in China will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands. Under the PRC Civil Procedures Law and PRC Law on the Application of Laws to Foreign-related Civil Relations, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC law before a PRC court against a company for disputes relating to contracts or other property interests, and the PRC court may accept a cause of action based on the laws or the parties’ express mutual agreement in contracts choosing PRC courts for dispute resolution if such foreign shareholders can establish sufficient nexus to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction and meet other procedural requirements, including, among others, that the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case and that there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis and a cause for the case. The PRC court will determine whether to accept the complaint in accordance with the PRC Civil Procedures Law and PRC Law on the Application of Laws to Foreign-related Civil Relations. The shareholder may participate in the action by itself or entrust any other person or PRC legal counsel to participate on behalf of such shareholder. Foreign citizens and companies will have the same rights as PRC citizens and companies in an action unless the home jurisdiction of such foreign citizens or companies restricts the rights of PRC citizens and companies.

There is uncertainty as to whether the judgment of United States courts will be directly enforced in Hong Kong, as the United States and Hong Kong do not have a treaty or other arrangements providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts of the United States in civil and commercial matters. However, a foreign judgment may be enforced in Hong Kong at common law by bringing an action in a Hong Kong court since the judgment may be regarded as creating a debt between the parties to it, provided that the foreign judgment, among other things, is a final judgment conclusive upon the merits of the claim and is for a liquidated amount in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges. Such a judgment may not, in any event, be so enforced in Hong Kong if (a) it was obtained by fraud; (b) the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; (c) its enforcement or recognition would be contrary to the public policy of Hong Kong; (d) the court of the United States was not jurisdictionally competent; or (e) the judgment was in conflict with a prior Hong Kong judgment.

In addition, it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders to originate actions against us in China in accordance with PRC laws because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders, by virtue only of holding our ordinary shares, to establish a connection to China for a PRC court to have jurisdiction as required under the PRC Civil Procedures Law.

Accordingly, we will be required to file or furnish reports and other information with the SEC. Those other reports or other information may be inspected without charge at the locations described above. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file annual, quarterly, and current reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. However, we will file with the SEC, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, and intend to submit to the SEC, on Form 6-K, unaudited interim financial information.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

Indemnification

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association permit indemnification of officers and directors for the time being of the Company for all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses incurred or sustained by or by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duty, or supposed duty, in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from dishonesty or fraud which may attach to such directors or officers. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Set forth below are the sales of all securities by the Company since January 1, 2022, which were not registered under the Securities Act. The Company believes that each of such issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 701 and/or Regulation S under the Securities Act.

On November 11, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with a private investment in public equity (the “PIPE”) financing with certain non-U.S. investors to offer and sell our units, each consisting of one ordinary share and three warrants for total gross proceeds of USD$3.15 million (the “First PIPE Proceeds”).

On November 30, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two investors to offer and sell our units, each consisting of one ordinary share and three warrants for total gross proceeds of USD$5 million (the “Second PIPE Proceeds”).

II-1

On December 15, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Huangtong International Co., Ltd. (the “Vendor” or “Huangtong International”), providing for the acquisition of certain assets, for an aggregate consideration of USD$5,980,000, payable in our ordinary shares. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, we completed payment for the acquired assets in the form of our ordinary shares (the “Purchase Price Shares”), at a stipulated price of USD$0.0022 per share, in the aggregate amount of 2,718,181,818 shares. We also issued Huangtong International certain amount of warrants, with an exercise price of USD$0.00167 per ordinary share, subject to certain conditions.

On December 23, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with a private investment in public equity (the “PIPE”) financing with an accredited non-U.S. investor to offer and sell our units, each consisting of one ordinary share and three warrants for total gross proceeds of USD$5 million.

On February 6, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with a non-U.S. investor (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the SPA, we issued the Purchaser an Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note with a face value of $9 million upon receiving the proceeds from the Purchaser on February 2, 2023. The Note shall bear non-compounding interest at a rate per annum equal to 5% from the date of issuance until repayment of the Note unless the Purchaser elects to convert the Note into ordinary shares. If the Purchaser does not elect to convert the Note, then the outstanding principal amount and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Note shall be due and payable upon the one-year anniversary of the Issuance Date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”). The Purchaser has the right to convert the outstanding balance under the Note into the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Conversion Shares”) at a per share price equal to $0.00172 (the “Conversion Share Price”) according to the terms and conditions of the Note. In addition, upon conversion of the Note, the Purchaser shall receive 100% warrant coverage equal to the number of Conversion Shares with the exercise price at the Conversion Share Price.

Financial Statement Schedules:

All financial statement schedules have been omitted because either they are not required, are not applicable or the information required therein is otherwise set forth in the Company’s financial statements and related notes thereto.

Item 9. Undertakings

(a)	The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)	To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

i.	To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

ii.

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

iii.	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19 of this chapter if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

(5)

(“Coinbase”), on behalf of itself and as agent for Coinbase, Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC (“Coinbase Custody”), and, as applicable, Coinbase Credit, Inc. (“Coinbase Credit,” and collectively with Coinbase and Coinbase Custody, the “Coinbase Entities”). This Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Coinbase Entities will open and maintain the prime broker account (the “Prime Broker Account”) for Client and provide services relating to custody, trade execution, lending or post-trade credit (if applicable), and other services (collectively, the “Prime Broker Services”) for certain digital assets (“Digital Assets”) as set forth herein. Client and the Coinbase Entities (individually or collectively, as the context requires) may also be referred to as a “Party”. Capitalized terms not defined in these General Terms and Conditions (the “General Terms”) shall have the meanings assigned to them in the respective exhibit, addendum or supplement. In the event of a conflict between these General Terms and any exhibit, addendum or supplement hereto, then the document governing the specific relevant Prime Broker Service shall control in respect of such Prime Broker Service.

To receive more information about the Coinbase Entities’ business continuity plan, please send a written request to security@coinbase.com.

15.

Acknowledgement of Risks

Client hereby acknowledges, that: (i) Digital Assets are not legal tender, are not backed by any government, and are not subject to protections afforded by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or Securities Investor Protection Corporation; (ii) Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and/or value of Digital Assets; (iii) transactions in Digital Assets are irreversible, and, accordingly, Digital Assets lost due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable; (iv) certain Digital Assets transactions will be deemed to be made when recorded on a public blockchain ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that Client initiates the transaction or such transaction enters the pool; (v) the value of Digital Assets may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange any government issued currency (“Fiat Currency”) for Digital Assets, which may result in the permanent and total loss of value of a Digital Asset should the market for that Digital Asset disappear; (vi) the volatility of the value of Digital Assets relative to Fiat Currency may result in significant losses; (vii) Digital Assets may be susceptible to an increased risk of fraud or cyber-attack; (viii) the nature of Digital Assets means that any technological difficulties experienced by a Coinbase Entity may prevent the access or use of Client Digital Assets; and (ix) any bond or trust account maintained by Coinbase Entities for the benefit of its customers may not be sufficient to cover all losses (including Losses) incurred by customers.

16.

Operation of Digital Asset Protocols

16.1

The Coinbase Entities do not own or control the underlying software protocols which govern the operation of Digital Assets. Generally, the underlying software protocols and, if applicable, related smart contracts (referred to collectively as “Protocols” for purposes of this Section 16) are open source and anyone can use, copy, modify or distribute them. By using the Prime Broker Services, Client acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Coinbase Entities make no guarantee of the functionality, security, or availability of underlying Protocols; (ii) some underlying Protocols are subject to consensus-based proof of stake validation methods which may allow, by virtue of their governance systems, changes to the associated blockchain or digital ledger (“Governance Modifiable Blockchains”), and that any Client transactions validated on such Governance Modifiable Blockchains may be affected accordingly; and (iii) the underlying Protocols are subject to sudden changes in operating rules (a/k/a “forks”), and that such forks may materially affect the value, function, and/or even the name of the Digital Assets. In the event of a fork, Client agrees that the Coinbase Entities may temporarily suspend Prime Broker Services (with or without notice to Client) and that the Coinbase Entities may, in their sole discretion, determine whether or not to support (or cease supporting) either branch of the forked protocol entirely. Client agrees that the Coinbase Entities shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever arising out of or relating to the operation of Protocols, transactions affected by Governance Modifiable Blockchains, or an unsupported branch of a forked protocol and, accordingly, Client acknowledges and assumes the risk of the same.

16.2

Unless specifically communicated by the Coinbase Entities through a written public statement on the Coinbase website, the Coinbase Entities do not support airdrops, metacoins, colored coins, side chains, or other derivative, enhanced or forked protocols, tokens or coins, which supplement or interact with a Digital Asset (collectively, “Advanced Protocols”) in connection with the Prime Broker Services. The Prime Broker Services are not configured to detect, process and/or secure Advanced Protocol transactions and neither Client nor the Coinbase Entities will be able to retrieve any unsupported Advanced Protocol. Coinbase shall have no liability, obligation or responsibility whatsoever in respect to Advanced Protocols.

17.

Set-off

Upon the termination of, or the occurrence of a default or an event of default under, an agreement with a Coinbase Entity (including an “Event of Default” as such term is defined in the PTC Agreement (in each case, at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) or the occurrence of an event that constitutes “Cause” (as defined below) (each, a “Setoff Event”), each Coinbase Entity may set off and net the amounts due from it or any other Coinbase Entity to Client and from Client to it or any other Coinbase Entity, so that a single payment (the “Net Payment”) shall be immediately due and payable by the Client or the Coinbase Entity to the other (subject to the other provisions hereof and of any agreement with a Coinbase Entity). If any amounts cannot be included within the Net Payment, such amounts shall be excluded but may still be netted against any other similarly excluded amounts. Upon the occurrence of a Setoff Event, each Coinbase Entity may also (a) liquidate, apply and set off any or all Client Assets (as such term is defined in the MTA) against any Net Payment, unpaid trade credits, or any other obligation owed by Client to any Coinbase Entity and (b) set off and net any Net Payment or any other obligation owed to the Client by any Coinbase Entity against (i) any or all collateral or margin posted by any Coinbase Entity to Client (or the U.S. dollar value thereof, determined by Coinbase in its sole discretion on the basis of a recent price at which the relevant Digital Asset was sold to customers on the Trading Platform); and (ii) any Net Payment, unpaid trade credits or any other obligation owed by Client to any Coinbase Entity (in each case, whether matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, or liquidated or unliquidated). Client agrees that in the exercise of setoff rights or secured party remedies, the Coinbase Entities may value Client Digital Assets using the same valuation methods and processes that are otherwise used when a Coinbase customer sells an asset on the Trading Platform (as such term is defined in the MTA) or any other commercially reasonable valuation method as determined by Coinbase in its sole discretion.

Client

To the extent Client is a natural person over 18 years of age, if Coinbase receives legal documentation confirming Client’s death or other information leading Coinbase to believe Client is deceased, Coinbase will freeze Client’s Prime Broker Account (“Freeze Period”). During the Freeze Period, no transactions may be completed until: (i) Client’s designated fiduciary has opened a new Prime Broker Account, as further described below, and the entirety of Client’s Prime Broker Account has been transferred to such new Prime Broker Account, or (ii) Client has received proof in a form satisfactory to Coinbase that Client is not deceased. If Coinbase has reason to believe Client is deceased but Coinbase does not have proof of Client’s death in a form satisfactory to Coinbase, Client authorizes Coinbase to make inquiries, whether directly or through third parties, that Coinbase considers necessary to ascertain whether Client is deceased. Upon receipt by Coinbase of proof satisfactory to Coinbase that Client is deceased, the fiduciary Client designated in a valid will or similar testamentary document will be required to open a new Prime Broker Account. If Client has not designated a fiduciary, then Coinbase reserves the right to (i) treat as Client’s fiduciary any person entitled to inherit Client’s Prime Broker Account, as determined by Coinbase upon receipt and review of the documentation Coinbase, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate, including (but not limited to) a will, a living trust or a Small Estate Affidavit, or (ii) require an order designating a fiduciary from a court having competent jurisdiction over Client’s estate. In the event Coinbase determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that there is uncertainty regarding the validity of the fiduciary designation, Coinbase reserves the right to require an order resolving such issue from a court of competent jurisdiction before taking any action relating to Client’s Prime Broker Account. Pursuant to the above, the opening of a new Prime Broker Account by a designated fiduciary is mandatory following the death of Client, and Client hereby agrees that its fiduciary shall be required to open a new Prime Broker Account and provide required account opening information to gain access to the contents of Client’s Prime Broker Account.

35.

This Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile or email of .pdf signatures or DocuSign (or similar electronic signature software), each of which shall be deemed to be an original document, but all such separate counterparts shall constitute only one and the same Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

to the Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement

COINBASE CUSTODY CUSTODIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Custody Agreement is entered into between Client and Coinbase Custody and forms a part of the Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement between the Client and the Coinbase Entities. Capitalized terms used in this Custody Agreement that are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the other parts of the Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement.

Custodial Services.

Coinbase Custody shall provide Client with a segregated custody account controlled and secured by Coinbase Custody (“Custodial Account”) to store certain Digital Assets supported by Coinbase Custody, on Client’s behalf (“Custodial Services”). Coinbase Custody is a fiduciary under § 100 of the New York Banking Law and a qualified custodian for purposes of Rule 206(4)-2(d)(6) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and is licensed to custody Client’s Digital Assets in trust on Client’s behalf. Digital Assets in Client’s Custodial Account shall (i) be segregated from the assets held by Coinbase Custody as principal and the assets of other customers of Coinbase Custody, (ii) not be treated as general assets of Coinbase Custody, and except as otherwise provided herein, Coinbase Custody shall have no right, title or interest in such Digital Assets, (iii) constitute custodial assets and Client’s property. In addition, Coinbase Custody shall maintain adequate capital and reserves to the extent required by applicable law and shall not, directly or indirectly, lend, pledge, hypothecate or re-hypothecate any Digital Assets in the Custodial Account.

Custodial Account.

2.1

In General. The Custodial Services shall permit the Client (i) to hold its Vault Balance in its Custodial Account and transfer Digital Assets to and from its Trading Balance, (ii) to deposit supported Digital Assets from a public blockchain address controlled by Client into its Custodial Account, (iii) withdraw supported Digital Assets from its Custodial Account to a public blockchain address controlled by Client and (iv) certain additional services as may be agreed to between the Client and Coinbase Custody from time to time. Each such deposit or withdrawal shall be referred to as a “Custody Transaction” and shall conform to Instructions provided by Client through the Coinbase Prime Broker Site. Client shall only withdraw or deposit Digital Assets to public blockchain addresses and accounts owned by Client or an address for which Client has conducted the necessary Know Your Customer (“KYC”) and anti-money laundering (“AML”) due diligence. Digital Assets shall be held in Client’s Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of this Custody Agreement and shall not be commingled with other clients’ Digital Assets. Coinbase Custody reserves the right to refuse to process or to cancel any pending Custody Transaction to comply with applicable law or in response to a subpoena, court order or other binding government order, or to enforce transaction, threshold and condition limits, or if Coinbase Custody reasonably believes that the Custody Transaction may violate or facilitate the violation of an applicable law, regulation or rule of a governmental authority or self-regulatory organization.

2.2

Digital Asset Deposits and Withdrawals. Coinbase Custody will process supported Digital Asset Custody Transaction according to the Instruction received from Client or Client’s Authorized Representatives, and Coinbase Custody does not guarantee the identity of any user, receiver, requestee or other party. Client must verify all deposit and withdrawal information prior to submitting Instructions to Coinbase Custody regarding a Custody Transaction. Coinbase Custody shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever for Client Digital Asset transfers sent to or received from a wrong party or sent or received with inaccurate Instructions. Coinbase Custody reserves the right to charge network fees (including miner fees) to process a Custody Transaction on Client’s behalf. Coinbase Custody will calculate the network fee, if any, in its sole and absolute discretion, although Coinbase Custody will always notify Client of the network fee at or before the time Client authorizes the Custody Transaction. Coinbase Custody reserves the right to delay any Custody Transaction if it perceives a risk of fraud or illegal activity.

2.3

Digital Asset Storage and Transmission Delays. Coinbase Custody requires up to twenty-four (24) hours between any request to withdraw Digital Assets from Client’s Custodial Account and submission of Client’s withdrawal to the applicable Digital Asset network. Since Coinbase Custody securely stores all Digital Asset private keys in offline storage, it may be necessary to retrieve certain information from offline storage in order to facilitate a withdrawal in accordance with Client’s Instructions, which may delay the initiation or crediting of such withdrawal. Client acknowledges and agrees that a Custody Transaction may be delayed, and that Digital Assets shall not be deposited or withdrawn upon less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice initiated from Client’s Custodial Account. The time of such request shall be the time such notice is transmitted from Client’s Custodial Account. Coinbase Custody makes no representations or warranties with respect to the availability and/or accessibility of (1) the Digital Assets, (2) a Custody Transaction, (3) the Custodial Account, or (4) the Custodial Services. While Coinbase Custody will make reasonable efforts to process Client initiated deposits in a timely manner, Coinbase Custody makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing as such processing is dependent upon many factors outside of Coinbase Custody’s control.

2.4

Supported Digital Assets. The Custodial Services are available only in connection with those Digital Assets that Coinbase Custody, in its sole discretion, decides to support, which may change from time to time. Prior to initiating a deposit of Digital Asset to Coinbase Custody, Client must confirm that Coinbase Custody offers Custodial Services for that specific Digital Asset. By initiating a deposit of any Digital Asset to a Custodial Account, Client attests that Client has confirmed that the Digital Asset being transferred is a supported Digital Asset offered by Coinbase Custody. Under no circumstances should Client attempt to use the Custodial Services to deposit or store Digital Assets in any forms that are not supported by Coinbase Custody. Depositing or attempting to deposit Digital Assets that are not supported by Coinbase Custody may result in such Digital Asset being irretrievable by Client and Coinbase Custody. Client shall be fully responsible and liable, and Coinbase Custody shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever, regarding any unsupported Digital Asset sent or attempted to be sent to it, or regarding any attempt to use the Custodial Services for Digital Assets that Coinbase Custody does not support. Digital Assets supported by Coinbase Custody shall be listed on the Coinbase Prime Broker Site. Coinbase Custody recommends that Client deposit a small amount of supported Digital Asset as a test prior to initiating a deposit of a significant amount of supported Digital Asset. Coinbase Custody shall provide Client with thirty (30) days’ written notice before ceasing to support a Digital Asset, unless Coinbase Custody is required to cease such support by court order, statute, law, rule (including a self-regulatory organization rule), regulation, code, or other similar requirement.

2.5

Use of the Custodial Services. Client acknowledges and agrees that Coinbase Custody may monitor use of the Custodial Account and the Custodial Services and the resulting information may be utilized, reviewed, retained and or disclosed by Coinbase Custody for its internal purposes or in accordance with the rules of any applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory organization or as otherwise may be required to comply with relevant law, sanctions programs, legal process or government request.

2.6

Independent Verification. If Client is subject to Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Coinbase Custody shall, upon written request, provide Client’s authorized independent public accountant confirmation of or access to information sufficient to confirm (i) Client’s Digital Assets as of the date of an examination conducted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2(a)(4), and (ii) Client’s Digital Assets are held either in a separate account under Client’s name or in accounts under Client’s name as agent or trustee for Client’s clients.

2.7

Third Party Payments. The Custodial Services are not intended to facilitate third party payments of any kind. As such, Coinbase Custody has no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that Client may purchase or sell to or from a third party (including other users of Custodial Services) involving Digital Assets that Client intends to store, or have stored, in Client’s Custodial Account.

2.8

Termination, and Cancellation. If Coinbase Custody closes Client’s Custodial Account or terminates Client’s use of the Custodial Services, Client will be permitted to withdraw Digital Assets associated with Client’s Custodial Account for a period of up to ninety (90) days following the date of deactivation or cancellation to the extent not prohibited (i) under applicable law, including applicable sanctions programs, or (ii) by a facially valid subpoena, court order, or binding order of a government authority.

Coinbase Custody Obligations

3.1

Bookkeeping. Coinbase Custody shall keep timely and accurate records as to the deposit, disbursement, investment and reinvestment of the Digital Assets, as required by applicable law and in accordance with Coinbase Custody’s internal document retention policies.

3.2

Insurance. Coinbase Custody shall obtain and maintain, at its sole expense, insurance coverage in such types and amounts as shall be commercially reasonable for the Custodial Services provided hereunder.

Additional Matters

In addition to any additional service providers that may be described in an addendum or attachment hereto, Client acknowledges and agrees that the Custodial Services may be provided from time to time by, through or with the assistance of affiliates of, or vendors to, Coinbase Custody. Client shall receive notice of any material change in the entities that provide the Custodial Services.

EXHIBIT B

to the Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement

COINBASE MASTER TRADING AGREEMENT

Client should carefully consider whether trading or holding Digital Assets is suitable for its purpose, including in relation to Client’s knowledge of Digital Assets and Digital Asset markets and Client’s financial condition. All investments involve risk, and the past performance of a financial product does not guarantee future results or returns.

This Master Trading Agreement (“MTA”) sets forth the terms and conditions for clients to trade Digital Assets through the Coinbase prime broker execution platform (“Trading Platform”) and forms a part of the Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement between Client and the Coinbase Entities. Pursuant to this MTA, Coinbase shall open a Trading Account for the Client on the Trading Platform consisting of linked accounts at Coinbase and Coinbase Custody, each accessible via the Trading Platform (“Trading Account”). The Trading Platform shall provide Client with access to trade execution and automated trade routing services and Coinbase Execution Services (as defined below) to enable Clients to submit orders (“Orders”) to purchase and sell specified Digital Assets in accordance with this MTA and the Coinbase Trading Rules set forth at https://www.coinbase.com/legal/trading_rules or a successor website (as amended and updated from time to time, the “Coinbase Trading Rules”) (such services, the “Trading Services”). Capitalized terms used in this MTA that are not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the other parts of the Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement.

Order Routing and Connected Trading Venue

1.1

The Trading Platform operates a trade execution service through which Client may submit Orders to purchase or sell Digital Assets. After Client submits an Order, the Trading Platform will automatically route the Order (or a portion of the Order) to one of the trading venues to which the Trading Platform has established connections (each such venue, a “Connected Trading Venue”). Each Order will be sent, processed and settled at each Connected Trading Venue to which it is routed. Once an Order to purchase Digital Assets has been placed, the associated Client Assets (as defined below) used to fund the Order will be placed on hold and will generally not be eligible for other use or withdrawal.

1.2

With each Connected Trading Venue, Coinbase shall establish an account in its name, or in its name for the benefit of clients, to trade on behalf of its clients, and the establishment of a Trading Account will not cause Client to have a direct legal relationship, or account with, any Connected Trading Venue. The Trading Platform will not intentionally match the buy and sell orders of its clients against each other and will not intentionally settle Orders against or otherwise trade with Coinbase’s principal funds. Client acknowledges that Coinbase and its other clients may trade in their own interests on the Connected Trading Venues and could, therefore, be the counterparty to a Client Order on a Connected Trading Venue.

1.3

Client acknowledges that Coinbase has sole discretion to determine the Connected Trading Venues with which it will establish connections. Coinbase will direct Orders to the Connected Trading Venues on an automated basis and generally will not manually route orders. In designing algorithms that determine an Order’s routing logic, Coinbase considers a variety of factors relating to the Order and the Connected Trading Venues, including the speed of execution, whether the venue is able to consummate off-chain transactions, the availability of efficient and reliable systems, the level of service provided, and the cost of executing orders. Coinbase may receive cash payments or other financial incentives (such as reciprocal business arrangements) from Connected Trading Venues.

1.4

Coinbase makes no representation or warranty of any kind regarding any Connected Trading Venue, including as to its financial condition, data, security or quality of its execution services, and shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever for the selection or performance of any Connected Trading Venue. Digital Assets may trade at different prices on different trading venues, and other Connected Trading Venues and/or trading venues not used by Coinbase may offer better prices and/or lower costs than the Connected Trading Venue used to execute Client’s Order.

1.5

Coinbase acts in an agency capacity for purposes of certain Orders, and may also act in a principal capacity for certain other Orders, as specified in the Coinbase Trading Rules. In the Request For Quotation (“RFQ”) service, Coinbase may act as principal to fill Orders by providing indicative firm pricing in accordance with a variety of market factors, at its sole discretion. Each Client should independently evaluate whether such services are appropriate given its own investing profile and sophistication, among other considerations.

Client Trading Balance and Vault Balance

2.1

For purposes of this MTA, Client’s Digital Assets are referred to as “Client Digital Assets,” Client’s cash is referred to as “Client Cash,” and Client Digital Assets and Client Cash are together referred to as “Client Assets.”

2.2

Within the Trading Platform, Coinbase provides access to two types of accounts with balances relating to Client Assets: (1) the “Trading Balance” (as described below in Section 2.3) and (2) the “Vault Balance” (as described below in Section 2.5). The Trading Account provides a record of both the Trading Balance and the Vault Balance. Client determines the allocation of its Client Digital Assets between the Trading Balance and the Vault Balance. Maintenance of the Vault Balance shall be subject to the terms of the Custody Agreement; provided, however, Client’s Trading Balance is separate from any Digital Assets Client maintains directly with Coinbase Custody.

2.3

Client Digital Assets credited to the Trading Balance are immediately available to Client for purposes of submitting an Order. Coinbase holds Digital Assets credited to the Trading Balance in one of three ways: (i) in omnibus hot wallets (each, an “Omnibus Hot Wallet”); (ii) in omnibus cold wallets (each, an “Omnibus Cold Wallet”); and (iii) in Coinbase’s accounts with the Connected Trading Venues (“Coinbase Connected Trading Venue Digital Asset Balance”). Client agrees that Coinbase has sole discretion in determining the allocation of Digital Assets credited to the Trading Balance. Because Digital Assets credited to the Trading Balance are held on an omnibus basis and because of the nature of certain Digital Assets, Client does not have an identifiable claim to any particular Digital Asset. Instead, Client’s Trading Balance represents an entitlement to a pro rata share of the Digital Assets Coinbase has allocated to the Omnibus Hot Wallets, Omnibus Cold Wallets and Coinbase Connected Trading Venue Digital Asset Balance. Coinbase relies on the Connected Trading Venues for the Coinbase Connected Trading Venue Digital Asset Balance, and Client has no contractual relationship with the Connected Trading Venues with respect to Digital Assets credited to the Trading Balance.

2.4

Client may maintain Client Cash in the Trading Balance but not in the Vault Balance. Coinbase holds Client Cash credited to the Trading Balance in one of two ways: (i) in one or more omnibus accounts in Coinbase’s name for the benefit of customers at one or more U.S. insured depository institutions (each, an “FBO account”) and (ii) in Coinbase’s omnibus accounts at Connected Trading Venues. Coinbase will title the FBO accounts it maintains with U.S. depository institutions and maintain records of Client’s interest in a manner designed to enable receipt of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) deposit insurance, where applicable and up to the deposit insurance limits applicable under FDIC regulations and guidance, on Client Cash for the Client’s benefit on a pass-through basis. Coinbase does not guarantee that pass-through FDIC deposit insurance will apply to Client Cash, since such insurance is dependent in part on compliance of the depository institutions. Coinbase may also title its accounts at some or all Connected Trading Venues and maintain records of Client interests in those accounts in a manner consistent with FDIC requirements for pass-through deposit insurance, but availability of pass-through deposit insurance, up to the deposit insurance limits applicable under FDIC regulations and guidance, is also dependent on the actions of the Connected Trading Venues and any depository institutions they use, which may not be structured to provide pass-through deposit insurance. FDIC insurance applies to cash deposits at banks and other insured depository institutions in the event of a failure of that institution, and does not apply to any Coinbase Entity or to any Digital Asset held by a Coinbase Entity on Client’s behalf. Client Cash is immediately available to Client for purposes of submitting an Order, unless a restriction applies.

2.5

At Client’s election, all or a portion of Client Digital Assets may also be allocated to the Vault Balance which is held in a Custodial Account in Client’s name at Coinbase Custody pursuant to the Custody Agreement. Such Vault Balance will be divided between segregated hot storage in Client’s name (“Hot Vault Balance”) and segregated cold storage in Client’s name (“Cold Vault Balance”). Client shall have sole discretion to allocate Digital Assets between the Hot Vault Balance and Cold Vault Balance. Digital Assets in the Hot Vault Balance may be transferred immediately to Client’s Trading Balance unless a restriction applies. A transfer of Digital Assets in the Cold Vault Balance to Client’s Trading Balance will be subject to Coinbase Custody’s standard cold storage withdrawal procedures. Client hereby appoints Coinbase as Client’s agent for purposes of instructing Coinbase Custody to transfer Client Digital Assets between Client’s Vault Balance and Client’s Trading Balance. Client agrees that an Instruction to Coinbase to settle an Order to or from Client’s Vault Balance constitutes authorization to Coinbase to transfer Client Digital Assets to or from Client’s Vault Balance as necessary or appropriate to consummate such settlement.

2.6

In all circumstances and consistent with laws and regulations applicable to Coinbase, Coinbase will keep an internal ledger that specifies the Client Assets credited to Client’s Trading Balance and enables Coinbase and its auditors and regulators to identify Client and the Client Assets.

2.7

Coinbase treats all Client Assets as custodial assets held for the benefit of Client. No Client Assets credited to the Trading Balance shall be considered to be the property of, or loaned to, Coinbase, except as provided in any loan agreement between Client and any Coinbase Entity. Neither Coinbase nor any Coinbase Entity will sell, transfer, loan, rehypothecate or otherwise alienate Client’s Assets credited to Client’s Trading Balance unless instructed by Client pursuant to an agreement between Client and a Coinbase Entity.

Role of Coinbase Custody

3.1

To facilitate the Trading Services, Coinbase may at its sole discretion maintain portions of the Omnibus Hot Wallet and the Omnibus Cold Wallet in one or more custodial FBO accounts with its affiliate, Coinbase Custody. In such circumstances, although the Omnibus Hot Wallet and the Omnibus Cold Wallet are held in Coinbase’s FBO accounts with Coinbase Custody, Client’s legal relationship for purposes of Digital Assets held in the Omnibus Hot Wallet and the Omnibus Cold Wallet will not be, directly or indirectly, with Coinbase Custody and the terms, conditions and agreements relating to those wallets are to be governed by this MTA.

3.2

Client Digital Assets held in the Hot Vault Balance and Cold Vault Balance are maintained directly between Client and Coinbase Custody in Client’s name and are subject to the terms of the Client’s Custody Agreement.

Cash and Digital Asset Deposits and Withdrawals

4.1

To deposit Client Cash, Client must initiate a transfer from a linked bank account, a wire transfer, a SWIFT transfer, a Silvergate Exchange Network deposit or other form of electronic payment approved by Coinbase from time to time to Coinbase’s bank account, the instructions for which are available on the Coinbase Prime Broker Site. Coinbase will credit the Trading Balance with Client Cash once the associated cash is delivered to Coinbase.

4.2

To withdraw Client Cash, Client may also initiate a withdrawal of Client Cash from the Trading Balance at any time using the withdrawal function on the Trading Platform.

4.3

To deposit Client Digital Assets, Clients may transfer Client Digital Assets directly to the Omnibus Hot Wallet or Omnibus Cold Wallet, the instructions for which are available on the Coinbase Prime Broker Site. Client may transfer funds to and among its Hot Vault Balance or Cold Vault Balance. When Client transfers Digital Assets to Coinbase or Coinbase Custody, it delivers custody and control of the Digital Assets to Coinbase, Coinbase Custody or Coinbase’s designee, as applicable. Client represents and warrants that any Digital Asset so transferred shall be free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances.

4.4

To withdraw Client Digital Assets, Client must provide applicable Instructions via the Coinbase Prime Broker Site (“Withdrawal Transfer”). Once Client has initiated a Withdrawal Transfer, the associated Client Digital Assets will be in a pending state and will not be included in the Client’s Trading Balance or Vault Balance. Client acknowledges that Coinbase may not be able to reverse a Withdrawal Transfer once initiated. Client may withdraw Client Digital Assets at any time, subject to delays for Digital Assets held in Cold Vault Balance, and any applicable account restrictions.

4.5

Client must verify all transaction information prior to submitting withdrawal Instructions to Coinbase, as Coinbase cannot and does not guarantee the identity of the wallet owner or bank account to which Client is sending Client Digital Assets or Client Cash, as applicable. Coinbase shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever for Client Cash or Client Digital Asset transfers sent to or received from an incorrect party or sent or received via inaccurate Instructions.

Disruption to Trading Platform

5.1

Client acknowledges that electronic facilities and systems such as the Trading Platform are vulnerable to disruption, delay or failure and, consequently, such facilities and systems may be unavailable to Client as a result of foreseeable and unforeseeable events. Client understands and agrees that Coinbase does not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Trading Platform or all features of the Trading Services. Client acknowledges that although Coinbase will attempt to provide notice of any scheduled or unscheduled unavailability that would result in Client being unable to access the Trading Platform or the Trading Services, Coinbase cannot guarantee advanced notice to Client.

5.2

Coinbase may, in its sole discretion, take any of the following actions, and in the case of clause (i), shall use reasonable efforts to provide Client with as much prior notice as is practicable: (i) halt or suspend Trading Services, including trading on the Trading Platform or the trading of any Digital Assets or currency, or (ii) impose limits on the amount or size of Client’s Orders. Coinbase shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility to Client as a result of making any changes to or suspending the Trading Platform.

Coinbase Trading Rules and Order Types

6.1

Client agrees to comply with the Coinbase Trading Rules in effect at the time of any Order. Client agrees to review and become familiar with the terms of the various types of Orders (each an “Order Type”) available through the Trading Service. A detailed description of the terms of all Orders is contained in the Coinbase Trading Rules. Coinbase reserves the right to modify the terms of any Order Type and the Coinbase Trading Rules at any time and without prior notice to Client, and Client acknowledges that it is solely responsible for ensuring knowledge of applicable Order Types and Coinbase Trading Rules prior to placing an Order.

6.2

Coinbase may modify the terms of, or cancel, any Order executed on Trading Platform if Coinbase determines in its sole reasonable discretion that the Order was clearly erroneous according to the Coinbase Trading Rules. Coinbase shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility to Client as a result of exercising its rights under this Section 6.

Coinbase Supported Digital Assets

Coinbase determines in its sole discretion which Digital Assets to support for use with the Trading Services, as specified on the Coinbase Prime Broker Site. Not all Digital Assets supported for Custodial Services are also supported for Trading Services.

Coinbase Execution Services

8.1

At Coinbase’s sole discretion, Client may elect to submit Orders to Coinbase Execution Services (“CES”), a Trading Service through which CES personnel will execute Orders on behalf of Client. CES will execute Orders by using automated trade routing services through Client’s Prime Broker Account or by filling Orders on Coinbase’s over-the-counter (“OTC”) trading service (“OTC Services”). Coinbase has sole and absolute discretion to accept or reject any Order. Coinbase and Client may communicate regarding Instructions related to Orders on a mutually agreed communication medium, including instant messaging, email, and telephone.

8.2

CES brokers Orders on a commercially reasonable basis as Client’s agent and may exercise discretion in executing Orders. Client must pre-fund its Trading Balance and/or establish a credit arrangement with Coinbase prior to submitting Orders. By electing to use CES, Client agrees that it is authorizing CES personnel to access its Prime Broker Account to initiate and execute Orders. Client acknowledges that CES personnel will retain access to the Client Prime Broker Account until Client provides Coinbase with Instructions to terminate such access. Absent express written agreement between the Parties, Coinbase will accept Orders only from Authorized Representatives that are designated in the Client’s Prime Broker Account as having trading authority with respect to the Prime Broker Account.

8.3

For OTC Services, CES personnel will confirm the terms of an Order (which terms shall include asset, quantity, price, settlement timing and fees) with Client prior to executing the Order. Coinbase has policies and procedures in place that are reasonably designed to prevent the disclosure of any Client identity to its OTC counterparty. Coinbase may, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept the following statements (or similar or analogous statements) as Client’s final and binding agreement to the terms of an Order: “done,” “I buy,” “bought,” “I sell,” or “sold.” A completed, executed and settled Order will be reflected in Client’s Prime Broker Account.

8.4

For Orders fulfilled via OTC Services (“OTC Orders”), each of Client’s and its OTC counterparty’s confirmations of the terms of the OTC Order deems such OTC Order as binding and final, and thereby executed. Client’s failure to timely settle an executed OTC Order in accordance with the settlement terms will constitute a default under the Coinbase Prime Brokerage Agreement. Upon Client’s default of an OTC Order:

(a)

In addition to all rights under this Coinbase Prime Broker Agreement, Coinbase may exercise any rights of a secured creditor with respect to its interests in Client’s assets, and may exercise all other rights under agreements between Client and any of the Coinbase Entities. The Coinbase Entities agree that they will exercise their secured creditor rights, including rights to setoff under Section 17 of the General Terms, with respect to Client’s Trading Balance before exercising their secured creditor rights with respect to the Vault Balance in the Client’s Custodial Account.

(b)

Client hereby grants to Coinbase a continuing first priority security interest in, lien on and right of set off against all of Client’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, in Client’s Trading Balance and Vault Balance in the Client’s Custodial Account together with proceeds thereof, in order to secure repayment of costs, fees, and all other obligations of Client to Coinbase arising hereunder from time to time. Client shall execute such documents and take such other actions as Coinbase shall reasonably request in order to perfect and maintain the priority of the Coinbase’s security interest with respect to Client’s Trading Balance and Vault Balance in Client’s Custodial Account.

(c)

Client hereby authorizes Coinbase Custody, as securities intermediary with respect to the Custodial Account, to comply with all instructions and entitlement orders from Coinbase, as secured party, with respect to the disposition of assets in Client’s Vault Balance in the Custodial Account as contemplated herein without further consent or direction from Client or any other party. Coinbase Custody agrees to follow such instructions and entitlement orders without further consent or direction from Client or any other party.

(d)

Without prior notice to Client, Coinbase shall have the right to: (i) transfer Client Assets from Client’s Trading Balance to Coinbase to settle the OTC Order subject to default, and/or (ii) liquidate or cancel outstanding OTC Orders (including OTC Orders that have been submitted or are in the process of being fulfilled).

(e)

Without prior notice to Client, Coinbase may suspend or terminate the Client’s ability to receive extensions of credit from Coinbase Credit, regardless of whether Client has cured the default.

If the above actions are not sufficient to satisfy all obligations of Client to Coinbase in respect of OTC Orders subject to default, Coinbase shall have the right to liquidate any and all of Client’s assets and positions held with Coinbase or Coinbase Custody, including the Trading Balance and Vault Balance in Client’s Custodial Account, to cover any Losses incurred by Client’s failure to settle the OTC Order. In connection with liquidating such assets, Client authorizes Coinbase, in Coinbase’s sole discretion, to liquidate any of Client’s Digital Assets in a commercially reasonable sale at the market price that otherwise applies to such Digital Assets at the time of liquidation, without regard to whether Client would recognize a gain or loss on such sale or would recognize a greater or lesser gain or loss if different Digital Assets were sold. Client understands that the value of Digital Assets may rise or fall quickly, and Coinbase has no obligation to liquidate Client’s Digital Assets at a time that provides the best price for Client. Client agrees that Digital Assets held in its Trading Balance and the Vault Balance in Client’s Custodial Account are of a kind or type customarily sold on recognized markets, subject to standard price quotations and may decline speedily in value. Client agrees that if Coinbase exercises its setoff rights or secured party remedies against Client’s Digital Assets, that Coinbase may value such Digital Assets using the same valuation method and same process that is otherwise used when Digital Assets are sold on the Trading Platform or any other commercially reasonable valuation method. A sale by Coinbase of Client’s Digital Assets, without notice, at a private sale using the valuation and method described above shall be a commercially reasonable method of disposition.

Determination of Suitability; All Risks Not Disclosed

Coinbase’s provision of the Trading Services is neither a recommendation that Client enter into a particular Order nor a representation that any product described on the Trading Platform is suitable or appropriate for Client. Many of the Trading Services described on Trading Platform involve significant risks, and Client should not use the Trading Services unless it has fully understood all such risks and has independently determined that such Orders are appropriate. Any discussion of the risks contained in this MTA or on the Trading Platform should not be considered to be a disclosure of all risks or a complete discussion of the applicable risks.

10.

Characterization of Trading Services; Not a Registered Broker-Dealer or Investment Adviser

Client understands and acknowledges that no transactions executed in connection with Client’s Trading Account or the Trading Services are securities transactions, and Coinbase is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a broker-dealer or an investment adviser or licensed under any state securities laws. Coinbase is not acting as a fiduciary in respect of Client (including in connection with its rights under this MTA) and does not have any responsibility under the standards governing the conduct of broker-dealers, fiduciaries, investment advisers or investment managers. Client agrees and acknowledges that any information or advice provided by Coinbase or any other Coinbase Entity does not and will not serve as the basis of any investment decision by Client.

11.

Coinbase Corporate Accounts

Coinbase and its affiliates may transact through Trading Accounts on the Trading Platform (“Coinbase Corporate Accounts”) for purposes including inventory management, to facilitate Client Orders, and for other corporate purposes. To the extent that a Coinbase Corporate Account transacts on the Trading Platform, the Coinbase Corporate Account (i) will not have any special priority vis-a-vis Client Orders and will be subject to the Coinbase Trading Rules, (ii) will trade only on Market Data available to all Clients, and (iii) will not access any non-public data of other Clients. Coinbase’s internal ledger will indicate the amount of each Digital Asset held for each client and each such Coinbase Corporate Account.

12.

Term, Termination and Suspension

12.1

Regardless of any other provision of this MTA, Coinbase may, in its sole discretion, suspend, restrict or terminate the Client’s Trading Services, including by suspending, restricting or closing the Client’s Trading Account, in accordance with the General Terms.

12.2

If Client is subject to termination, Client agrees to transfer any Client Assets off the Trading Platform within thirty (30) days of receipt of the termination notice unless such transfer is otherwise prohibited (i) under applicable law, including any sanctions programs, or (ii) by a facially valid subpoena or court order. Client agrees to promptly provide Coinbase with Instructions as to where its Client Assets should be transferred, and agrees that failure to do so within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of termination may result in Client Assets being transferred to the Client’s linked bank account or Digital Asset wallet on file, in each case subject to off-set for any outstanding obligations to any Coinbase Entity in accordance with the General Terms. Final disbursement of assets may be delayed until any remaining obligations or indebtedness have been satisfied. Client is responsible for all debits, costs, commissions, and losses arising from any actions Coinbase must take to liquidate or close transactions in the Client’s Trading Account.

13.

Unclaimed Property

If Coinbase is holding Client Assets in the Trading Balance, has no record of Client’s use of the Trading Services for an extended period, and is otherwise unable to contact Client, Coinbase may be required under applicable laws, rules or regulations to report these assets as unclaimed property and to deliver such unclaimed property to the applicable authority. Coinbase may deduct a dormancy fee or other administrative charge from such unclaimed funds, as permitted by applicable laws, rules or regulations.
