Innoval Capital, the subscriber, is a BVI-incorporated investment firm founded by Antalpha CEO Moore Xin Jin. According to the filing, Jin leads the Nasdaq-listed Antalpha Platform Holding Company, which reportedly manages over US$1.6 billion in assets.

Strategic implications for China Financial Leasing Group
This capital injection marks a pivot from traditional leasing toward digital asset investments. With Innoval Capital taking a significant stake, the company secures a committed investor to back its shift. Entering the digital asset space could bring higher volatility but also growth potential if markets perform well. Given Hong Kong’s regulatory support for crypto innovation, the timing may be favorable.
By investing in exchanges, tokens, NFTs, and DeFi, the company bets on multiple fronts rather than a single asset class. Its ambition to integrate AI may help it make smarter asset allocation decisions. Still, risks such as regulatory shifts, crypto volatility, and competition remain significant.
With this placement, China Financial Leasing Group signals a bold strategic reorientation toward digital finance.
