At the start of each Index Rebalancing Period, the Index Provider applies the CD5 Methodology to determine any changes to the Index Components and the respective weightings of the Index Components within CD5, as determined by the Index Provider based on market capitalization criteria (the “Index Weightings”), after which the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio accordingly, subject to application of the Exclusion Criteria.
−Removed: In order to rebalance the Fund’s portfolio, the Manager will (i) determine whether any Fund Components have been removed from the CD5 and should therefore be removed as Fund Components, (ii) determine whether any new digital assets have been added to the CD5 and should therefore be included as Fund Components, and (iii) determine how much cash and Forked Assets the Fund holds.
−Removed: If a Fund Component is no longer included in the CD5, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling such Fund Component in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings in the Fund (“Fund Weightings”) and using the cash proceeds to purchase additional tokens of the remaining Fund Components and, if applicable, any new Fund Component in proportion to their respective weightings.

The Fund Weightings of each Fund Component are generally expected to be the same as the weighting of each digital asset in the CD5 except when the Manager exercises its limited discretion to exclude one or more digital assets included in the CD5 from the Fund Components in certain rules-based circumstances, in which case the Fund Weightings are generally expected to be calculated proportionally to the respective Index Weightings for the remaining Index Components.
If a digital asset not then included in the Fund’s portfolio is newly eligible for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio because it was added to the CD5 and not excluded through the Exclusion Criteria, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling tokens of the then-current Fund Components in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings and using the cash proceeds to purchase tokens of the newly eligible digital assets.

−Removed: During such history, the market prices of such Fund Components have been volatile and subject to influence by many factors including the levels of liquidity.
−Removed: If Digital Asset Markets continue to experience significant price fluctuations, the Fund may experience losses.
−Removed: Several factors may affect the market price of the Fund Components, including, but not limited to, global supply and demand of such Fund Components, theft of such Fund Components from global trading platforms or vaults, competition from other forms of digital currency or payment services, global or regional political, economic or financial conditions, and other unforeseen events and situations.

−Removed: The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), at least under the prior administration, has stated that certain digital assets may be considered “securities” under the federal securities laws.
−Removed: The test for determining whether a particular digital asset is a “security” is complex and difficult to apply, and the outcome is difficult to predict.
−Removed: A number of SEC and SEC staff actions with respect to a variety of digital assets demonstrate this difficulty.
−Removed: For example, public though non-binding, statements by senior officials at the SEC have indicated that the SEC did not consider Bitcoin or Ether to be securities, and does not currently consider Bitcoin to be a security.
−Removed: In addition, the SEC appears to have implicitly taken the view that Ether is not a security (i) by not objecting to Ether futures trading on Commodity Futures Trading Commission-regulated markets under rules designed for futures on non-security commodity underliers and (ii) by approving the listing and trading of exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) that invest in Ether (i.e., approving the redemption of shares of such ETPs) under the rules for commodity-based trust shares, without requiring these ETPs to be registered as investment companies.
−Removed: Likewise, in various courts filings and arguments the SEC has distinguished Ether from assets that it claimed were securities, and in judicial opinions, courts have accepted or even assumed that Ether is not a security.
−Removed: Moreover, in a recent settlement with another market participant relating to allegations that it acted as an unregistered broker-dealer for facilitating trading in certain digital assets, the SEC highlighted that the firm would cease trading in all digital assets other than Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ether—activity that, if the SEC believed Ether was presently a security—would continue to constitute unregistered brokerage activity.
−Removed: The SEC staff has also provided informal assurances via no-action letter to a handful of promoters that their digital assets are not securities.
−Removed: Moreover, the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance has published statements that it does not consider, under certain circumstances, “meme coins” or some stablecoins to be securities.
−Removed: However, such statements may be withdrawn at any time without notice and comment by the Division of Corporation Finance at the SEC or the SEC itself.
−Removed: In addition, the SEC has brought enforcement actions against the issuers and promoters of several other digital assets on the basis that the digital assets in question are securities and has not formally or explicitly confirmed that it does not deem Ether to be a security.
−Removed: These developments demonstrate the difficulty in applying the federal securities laws to digital assets generally.
−Removed: In January 2025, the SEC launched a crypto task force dedicated to developing a comprehensive and clear regulatory framework for digital assets led by Commissioner Hester Peirce.
−Removed: Subsequently, Commissioner Peirce announced a list of specific priorities to further that initiative, which included pursuing final rules related to a digital asset’s security status, a revised path to registered offerings and listings for digital assets-based investment vehicles, and clarity regarding digital asset custody, lending, and staking.
−Removed: However, the efforts of the crypto task force have only just begun, and how or whether the SEC regulates digital asset activity in the future remains to be seen.
−Removed: In June 2023, the SEC brought charges against the Digital Asset Trading Platforms Binance and Coinbase for alleged violations of a variety of securities laws.

−Removed: In September 2024, the SEC filed an enforcement action against Mango Labs, LLC, Mango DAO, and Blockworks Foundation, and in October 2024, the SEC filed an enforcement action against Cumberland DRW, LLC, in both instances describing a number of digital assets, including SOL, as examples of “crypto assets that are offered and sold as securities.” In February 2025, the SEC announced it had filed a joint stipulation with Coinbase to dismiss the enforcement action against it.
−Removed: In March 2025, the SEC announced it had dismissed its enforcement action against Cumberland DRW, LLC.
−Removed: Further, Ripple Labs, Inc.
−Removed: (“Ripple”), the company that retains a key role in stewarding the development of XRP, is currently a defendant in a federal class-action lawsuit filed by certain XRP holders that alleges that XRP is a security issued by Ripple.
−Removed: In addition, in 2020 the SEC filed a complaint against the issuer of XRP, Ripple Labs, Inc., and two of its executives, alleging that they raised more than $ 1.3 billion through XRP sales that should have been registered under the federal securities laws, but were not.
−Removed: Subsequently, in July 2023, the District Court for the Southern District of New York held that while XRP is not a “security”, certain sales of XRP to certain buyers (but not other types of sales to other buyers) amounted to “investment contracts” under the Howey test.
−Removed: The District Court entered a final judgment in the case on August 7, 2024 and the parties each dismissed their appeals to the Second Circuit on August 7, 2025.
−Removed: SOL, XRP, and ADA are currently Fund Components held by the Fund representing approximately 8.84 % of the Fund’s Principal Market NAV as of June 30, 2025.
−Removed: If a Fund Component is determined to be a “security” under federal or state securities laws by the SEC or any other agency, or in a proceeding in a court of law or otherwise, it may have material adverse consequences for such Fund Component.
−Removed: For example, it may become more difficult for such Fund Component to be traded, cleared and custodied as compared to other digital assets that are not considered to be securities, which could, in turn, negatively affect the liquidity and general acceptance of such Fund Component and cause users to migrate to other digital assets.
−Removed: As such, any determination that a Fund Component is a security under federal or state securities laws may adversely affect the value of such Fund Component and, as a result, an investment in the Shares.
−Removed: To the extent that a Fund Component is determined to be a security, the Fund and the Manager may also be subject to additional regulatory requirements, including under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the Manager may be required to register as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
−Removed: If the Manager determines not to comply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, the Manager will terminate the Fund.
−Removed: Any such termination could result in the liquidation of the Fund’s digital assets at a time that is disadvantageous to shareholders.
−Removed: To the extent a private key, held by the Custodian, required to access a Fund Component address is lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised and no backup of the private key is accessible, the Fund may be unable to access the relevant Fund Component controlled by the private key and the private key will not be capable of being restored by the network of such Fund Component.
−Removed: The processes by which the Fund Component transactions are settled are dependent on the peer-to-peer network of such Fund Component, and as such, the Fund is subject to operational risk.
−Removed: A risk also exists with respect to previously unknown technical vulnerabilities, which may adversely affect the value of the Fund Component.
−Removed: The Fund relies on third-party service providers to perform certain functions essential to its operations.
−Removed: Any disruptions to the Fund’s service providers’ business operations resulting from business failures, financial instability, security failures, government mandated regulation or operational problems could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to access critical services and be disruptive to the operations of the Fund.
−Removed: The Manager and the Fund may be subject to various litigation, regulatory investigations, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business.
+Added: Concentration Risk
+Added: The Fund is highly concentrated in Bitcoin and Ether, particularly Bitcoin, and declines in the value of either asset could disproportionately reduce the Fund’s NAV and the value of the Shares.
+Added: As a result, the Fund’s NAV and the value of the Shares are more sensitive to changes in the value of Bitcoin and Ether, particularly Bitcoin, than to changes in the value of any other Fund Component.
+Added: Bitcoin and Ether have experienced significant price volatility and declines, and the Fund’s other holdings may not offset losses in either asset.
+Added: The Fund’s exposure to Bitcoin and Ether may increase or decrease as the Index is rebalanced and may remain highly concentrated.
+Added: Accordingly, a decline in the value of Bitcoin or Ether could materially and adversely affect the value of the Shares.
