Introduction

A securities class action has been filed against UP Fintech Holding Limited (NASDAQ: TIGR). The case was brought on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired UP Fintech securities between April 22, 2024 and June 2, 2026.

The complaint alleges UP Fintech made materially false and misleading statements about its legal and regulatory risk. It claims the company kept running illegal cross-border securities business in China. It also claims the company overstated its efforts to fix that prior misconduct.

According to the complaint, the alleged misconduct began to be revealed in May 2026 when Chinese regulators announced significant penalties involving UP Fintech subsidiaries. TIGR ADSs dropped sharply across several trading days, and the complaint alleges that investors suffered significant losses following these disclosures.

Company Profile

UP Fintech Holding Limited describes itself as a leading integrated financial technology platform providing cross-market, multi-product investment services for investors around the world. Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with principal offices in Singapore, the company operates online brokerage services and maintains a U.S. subsidiary, TradeUP Securities Inc., in Roseland, New Jersey. Its American Depositary Shares trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker TIGR.

Class Period

April 22, 2024–June 2, 2026

Investors who purchased or acquired UP Fintech Holding Limited (TIGR) securities during the Class Period may be eligible to seek recovery under the federal securities laws.

Allegations

The complaint centers on UP Fintech, an online brokerage that describes itself as a leading integrated financial technology platform. The lawsuit names the company along with Chief Executive Officer Tianhua Wu and Chief Financial Officer John Fei Zeng, both of whom signed Sarbanes-Oxley certifications attesting to the accuracy of the company's financial reporting and disclosures throughout the class period.

According to the complaint, the alleged misrepresentations appeared in UP Fintech's annual reports on Form 20-F filed on April 22, 2024, April 23, 2025, and April 24, 2026. Those filings included risk disclosures describing the company's dealings with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), including a December 30, 2022 notice (the CSRC 1230 Notice) stating the company had carried out cross-border securities business for Chinese mainland investors without approval. The filings described rectification measures the company said it had taken and represented that it was cooperating with regulators.

The complaint alleges these statements were materially false and misleading because they understated the company's regulatory risk given its continued illegal activity in China, and because they overstated its efforts to rectify prior misconduct. The lawsuit claims defendants failed to disclose that UP Fintech's ongoing conduct exposed it to substantial regulatory penalties.

The filing states that defendants knew or recklessly disregarded that these statements were false, and that as a result, the company's statements about its business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

The Truth Emerges

The alleged truth began to surface before the market opened on May 22, 2026, when Reuters published an article reporting that China announced a major crackdown on cross-border investment and would punish brokers it accused of illegally moving money to foreign markets. The article identified Tiger, Futu, and Longbridge as targets for soliciting business in China without an onshore license, and reported that shares in Tiger parent UP Fintech fell more than 30% in U.S. premarket trade.

That same day, UP Fintech filed a Current Report on Form 6-K disclosing that certain subsidiaries had received notices from the CSRC Beijing Bureau concerning suspected illegal operations of securities, fund, and futures business. The company disclosed administrative penalties of approximately RMB 308.1 million and confiscation of illegal income of approximately RMB 103.1 million, and stated that CEO Tianhua Wu had received a warning and a penalty of RMB 1.25 million. The company also disclosed that retail client assets in mainland China constituted roughly 10% of its total client assets at the end of 2025.

The complaint alleges these disclosures directly contradicted the company's prior representations that it had taken necessary rectification measures and was cooperating with regulators. On June 2, 2026, the company issued its unaudited first quarter 2026 results, which reported a net loss and detailed the penalty totaling approximately RMB 411 million (roughly $59.7 million), characterizing it as a one-off expense that would not materially affect operations.

Market Reaction

When the CSRC investigation and penalties were disclosed on May 22, 2026, UP Fintech ADSs fell $1.48 per ADS, or 25.3%, to close at $4.36. The decline continued after the company's first quarter results were released on June 2, 2026, when TIGR ADSs fell $0.20 per ADS, or 3.86%, to close at $4.97. The following day, June 3, 2026, the ADSs fell a further $0.30 per ADS, or 6%, to close at $4.67. The complaint links these declines to the May 22 and June 2 disclosures concerning the regulatory penalties and UP Fintech's cross-border business.

Next Steps
