CASE ALLEGATIONS: UP Fintech purports to be a leading financial technology platform providing cross-market, multi-product investment experience for investors around the world.
The UP Fintech class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) UP Fintech’s business was illegal as it related to operations in China as a result of its failure to obtain proper licenses; (ii) UP Fintech did not fully disclose to investors that it was engaging in unlawful activity and instead characterized the applicable Chinese laws as ambiguous; and (iii) the above subjected UP Fintech to a heightened risk of regulatory enforcement.
On October 28, 2021, The Wall Street Journal published an article titled “Chinese Online Broker Shares Dropped After Criticism From Central Bank” which stated, “[a] senior official at China’s central bank said cross-border online brokerages operating in mainland China were acting illegally.” On this news, the price of UP Fintech American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) declined more than 26% over two trading days.

Thereafter, on December 30, 2022, Reuters published an article titled “China regulator asks Futu and UP Fintech to stop soliciting mainland clients.” The article explained, “China’s securities regulatory said on Friday that online brokerage[] . . .
