mF International to Wind Down Legacy Financial Trading Business, Shift Focus Completely to Digital Asset Strategy

Published

on

Strategic decision allows the Company to commit its full energy to a growing digital asset-centric business model

mF International holds 678,922 Bitcoin Cash (BCH) as of October 15, 2026

HONG KONG, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — mF International Limited (NASDAQ:MFI) (“mF International” or the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the wind-down and dissolution of the Company’s legacy financial trading solutions business. Following the wind-down, the Company intends to direct its full focus and resources to the development of its Bitcoin Cash (BCH) digital asset treasury, self-mining operations, and other digital asset initiatives going forward.

The decision follows a series of steps the Company has taken since the start of 2026 to build its digital asset operations and represents an important milestone in the planned evolution of mF International’s business model. Notable digital asset initiatives include the Company’s development of BCH self-mining capacity and its ongoing application for a Bermuda Class IILT insurance license to support a future digital asset-denominated life insurance offering. As the Company’s digital asset operations have become more established and continue to grow in importance, management have determined that prioritizing their development is the most effective way to foster long-term growth.

The Company’s BCH self-mining business has continued to grow. Cumulatively, from July 30, 2026 through September 30, 2026, the Company mined 2,265.42 BCH. As of October 15, 2026, the Company held 678,922 BCH, representing approximately 3.23% of the total supply.

The wind-down of the legacy financial trading solutions business will entail the deregistration of m-Finance Limited and its two subsidiaries, Omegatraders Systems Limited and m-Finance Trading Technologies Limited (collectively the “Legacy Companies”), and the disposal of their remaining assets. The Company expects to complete the sale of these remaining legacy fixed assets and domain names by the end of October 2026. Asset disposals, liquidation expenses and final taxes will be recorded in the final audited accounts of the three companies as of December 15, 2026, after which no further changes will be made to their accounting records. The full financial impact on mF International will be reflected in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

“The wind-down of our legacy financial trading business is a deliberate decision, made as our digital asset operations have become established and are growing in importance to the Company,” said Mr. Dawei Yuan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of mF International. “By concentrating our attention and resources on our digital asset strategy, we expect to be better positioned to scale our BCH self-mining operations, grow our BCH treasury, and advance our planned digital asset-denominated life insurance offering. This decision reflects the direction we have been building toward since the start of 2026, and we believe it puts the Company on a clearer, more focused path. We look forward to updating shareholders on our progress as we continue to build mF International into a digital asset-native business.”

The Company will continue to provide updates on its BCH holdings, mining operations, and new business developments through its corporate website, https://mfi.ltd, and its investor relations website, https://ir.mfi.ltd.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

on

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
