increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the

price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants

at the measurement date.

Effective May 23, 2024, the Trustee,

at the direction of the Sponsor, entered into an Allocated Account Agreement and Unallocated Account Agreement with ICBC Standard

Platinum ETF Trust

Notes to the Financial Statements

Trust’s platinum was held at ICBC.

At the Evaluation Time, the Trustee

will value the Trust’s platinum on the basis of the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) Platinum Price PM.

there is no LBMA Platinum Price PM on any day, the Trustee is authorized to use the LBMA Platinum Price AM announced on that day.

If neither price is available for that day, the Trustee will value the Trust’s platinum based on the most recently announced LBMA

Platinum Price PM or LBMA Platinum Price AM.

Realized gains and losses on transfers of platinum, or platinum distributed for the

redemption of Shares, are calculated on a trade date basis as the difference between the fair value and average cost of platinum

The London Metal Exchange (the “LME”) is responsible for the

London platinum fix processes previously employed by the London Platinum and Palladium Fixing Company Ltd (“LPPFCL”),

as well as providing electronic market clearing processes for platinum bullion transactions at the fixed prices established by

the LME pricing mechanism.

LMEbullion, like the previous London platinum fix processes, establishes and publishes fixed prices

for troy ounces of platinum twice each London trading day during fixing sessions beginning at 9:45 a.m.

ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA”) is responsible for the administration of the LBMA Platinum Price and the electronic auctions

through which the benchmark prices are established.

Effective July 1, 2026, IBA assumed responsibility for administering the LBMA Platinum

Price and the related daily auctions from the London Metal Exchange.

The IBA-operated auction process establishes and publishes benchmark

prices for troy ounces of platinum twice each London trading day during auction sessions beginning at 9:45 a.m.

In January 2026, the LBMA announced that it intends to appoint ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) to replace the LME as

the third-party administrator of the LBMA Platinum prices in mid-2026.

Once the value of platinum

has been determined, the net asset value (the “NAV”) is computed by the Trustee by deducting all accrued fees, expenses

and other liabilities of the Trust, including the remuneration due to the Sponsor (the “Sponsor’s Fee”), from

the fair value of the platinum and all other assets held by the Trust.

The Trust recognizes changes

in fair value of the investment in platinum as changes in unrealized gains or losses on investment in platinum through

the Statements of Operations.

The per Share amount of platinum

exchanged for a purchase or redemption is calculated daily by the Trustee using the LBMA Platinum Price PM to calculate the platinum

amount in respect of any liabilities for which covering platinum sales have not yet been made, and represents the per Share

amount of platinum held by the Trust, after giving effect to its liabilities, to cover expenses and liabilities and any losses

that may have occurred.

Fair Value Hierarchy

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy

that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation

techniques used to measure fair value.

The three levels of inputs are as follows:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access.

Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly

or indirectly.

These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on

an inactive market, prices for similar instruments and similar data.

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing

the Trust’s own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability,

and that would be based on the best information available.

To the extent that valuation

is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires

more judgment.

Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized

Platinum ETF Trust

Notes to the Financial Statements

The inputs used to measure fair

value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.

In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair

value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that

is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Trust’s investment

in platinum is classified as a level 1 asset, as its value is calculated using unadjusted quoted prices from

primary market sources.

The categorization of the Trust’s

assets is as shown below:

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets

for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access.

Observable inputs other than quoted prices

administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust, including the Trustee’s monthly fee and out of pocket expenses,

the Custodian’s fee and the reimbursement of the Custodian’s expenses, exchange listing fees, United States Securities

and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and up to $ 100,000 per

most favorable price and execution of orders.

is made at the next LBMA Platinum Price PM or such other publicly available price that the Sponsor deems fair, in each case as

set following the sale order.

A gain or loss is recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the average cost

of the platinum sold.

Neither the Trustee nor the Sponsor is liable for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any sale.

from the transfer of platinum for Share redemptions and/or to pay expenses and are recognized on a trade date basis as the difference

between the fair value and average cost of platinum transferred.

in major platinum producing countries, recycling, autocatalyst demand, industrial demand, jewelry demand and investment demand;
