Canary XRP ETF
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
The Canary XRP ETF (the “Trust”)
is a Delaware statutory trust, formed on September 24, 2024, pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The Trust continuously issues
common shares representing fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust that may be purchased and sold on the
Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “XRPC.” The Trust operates pursuant to a Trust Agreement,
as amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”). CSC Delaware Trust Company, a Delaware trust company,
is the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”). The Trust is managed and controlled by Canary Capital Group LLC (the “Sponsor”).
The
Trust is an exchange-traded fund that issues shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) that are listed and trade on the
Exchange. The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to provide exposure to the price of XRP, the native asset of the XRP Ledger
(“XRP”), held by the Trust, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations and other liabilities. The Trust is a passive
investment vehicle that does not seek to generate returns beyond tracking the price of XRP. In seeking to achieve its investment objective,
the Trust holds XRP and establishes its net asset value (“NAV”) on each business day by reference to the CoinDesk XRP USD
CCIXber 60m New York Rate (the “Pricing Benchmark”). The Pricing Benchmark is calculated by CoinDesk Indices (the “Benchmark
Provider”) based on a 60-minute time-weighted average price of the XRP-USD CCIXber Reference Rate (the “Underlying Index”),
which is an aggregation of executed trade flow of major XRP trading platforms (“Constituent Platforms”). The Benchmark Provider
publishes the Pricing Benchmark. The Trust is sponsored by the Sponsor.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of these financial statements. The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and
are stated in U.S. dollars. The Trust’s financial statements were prepared using the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services —
Investment Companies. The Trust qualifies as an investment company solely for accounting purposes and not for any other purpose. The Trust
is not registered, and is not required to be registered, as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The Trust follows the significant accounting policies described below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements
in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Generally, the Trust does not intend
to hold any cash. Cash includes non-interest-bearing, non-restricted cash with one institution. Cash in a bank deposit account, at times,
may exceed U.S. federally insured limits. The Trust has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed
to any significant credit risk on such bank deposits.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
The Trust purchases XRP upon the creation
of Shares and sells XRP upon the redemption of Shares. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains (losses) and changes
in unrealized gains (losses) on open positions are determined on a specific identification basis and recognized in the statement of operations
in the period in which the sale occurred or the changes in unrealized gains (losses) occurred.
6
Income Taxes
The
Sponsor takes the position that the Trust is properly treated as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming that
the Trust is a grantor trust, the Trust will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. Rather, if the Trust is a grantor trust,
each beneficial owner of Shares will be treated as directly owning its pro rata Share of the Trust’s assets and a pro rata
portion of the Trust’s income, gains, losses and deductions will “flow through” to each beneficial owner of
Shares. If the Trust were not properly classified as a grantor trust, the Trust might be classified as a partnership for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. However, due to the uncertain treatment of digital assets, with respect to staking and including forks,
airdrops and similar occurrences for U.S. federal income tax purposes, there can be no assurance in this regard. If the Trust were
classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax consequences of owning Shares generally would not be
materially different from the tax consequences described herein, although there might be certain differences, including with respect
to timing. In addition, tax information reports provided to beneficial owners of Shares would be made in a different form. If the
Trust were not classified as either a grantor trust or a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be classified as
a corporation for such purposes. In that event, the Trust would be subject to entity-level U.S. federal income tax (currently at the
rate of 21%) on its net taxable income and certain distributions made by the Trust to shareholders would be treated as taxable
dividends to the extent of the Trust’s current and accumulated earnings and profits.
Digital Asset Trading Platform Valuation
US GAAP defines fair value as the price the Trust would
receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The Trust’s policy is to value investments held at fair value.
The Trust identifies and determines
the XRP principal market (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market) for GAAP purposes consistent with the
application of the fair value measurement framework in FASB ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement. A principal market is the market with
the greatest volume and activity level for the asset or liability. The determination of the principal market will be based on the market
with the greatest volume and level of activity that can be accessed. The Trust obtains relevant volume and level of activity information
and based on initial analysis will select an exchange market as the Trust’s principal market. The net asset value (“NAV”)
and NAV per Share will be calculated using the fair value of XRP based on the price provided by this exchange market, as of 4:00 p.m.
ET on the measurement date for GAAP purposes. The Trust will update its principal market analysis periodically and as needed to the extent
that events have occurred, or activities have changed in a manner that could change the Trust’s determination of the principal market.
Various inputs are used in determining
the fair value of assets and liabilities. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may
be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three
broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy
is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair
value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices
included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered
to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally
from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs,
including the Trust’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments, where there is little or no market activity
for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

about the Trust’s assets measured at fair value:

Calculation of NAV
The Administrator, defined below, determines
the NAV of the Trust on each day that the Exchange is open for regular trading, as promptly as practicable after 4:00 p.m. ET. The NAV
of the Trust is the aggregate value of the Trust’s assets less its accrued but unpaid liabilities (which include accrued expenses).
In determining the Trust’s NAV, the Administrator values XRP held by the Trust based on the price set by the Index as of 4:00 p.m.
ET. The Administrator also determines the NAV per Share. For purposes of the Trust’s financial statements, the Trust utilizes a
pricing source that is consistent with GAAP, as of the financial statement measurement date, which may result in valuations that differ
from the Trust’s daily NAV calculations. The Sponsor determines in its sole discretion the valuation sources and policies used to
prepare the Trust’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
The Trust’s NAV per Share is calculated by taking
the current fair value of its total assets, subtracting any liabilities, and dividing that total by the number of Shares.
Segment Reporting
The
Trust operates through a single operating and reporting segment with a primary objective of providing exposure to the price of XRP held
by the Trust, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations and other liabilities. The Trust’s chief operating decision maker
(“CODM”) is the Principal Executive Officer. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Trust and the Trust’s long-term
strategic asset allocation is predetermined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on the defined investment strategy
against which the CODM assesses the Trust’s performance. In addition to other metrics, the CODM uses net increase (decrease) in
net assets resulting from operations as a key metric to assess the Trust’s performance.
3. Trust Expenses and Other Agreements
(a) Sponsor
The Trust pays the Sponsor an annual
unified fee of 0.50 % of the Trust’s XRP Holdings (the “Sponsor Fee”). The Trust’s “XRP Holdings” is
the quantity of the Trust’s XRP plus any cash or other assets held by the Trust represented in XRP as calculated using the Index
Price, less its liabilities (which include estimated accrued but unpaid fees and expenses) represented in XRP as calculated using the
Index Price. The Sponsor Fee is paid by the Trust to the Sponsor as compensation for services performed under the Trust Agreement. The
Administrator calculates the Sponsor Fee in respect of each day by reference to the prior day’s XRP Holdings. Except for periods
during which all or a portion of the Sponsor Fee is being waived, the Sponsor Fee accrues daily in XRP and is payable monthly in XRP or
cash. To the extent there are any on-chain transaction fees incurred in connection with the transfers of XRP to pay the Sponsor Fee, the
Sponsor, and not the Trust, shall bear such fees. The Sponsor may, at its sole discretion and from time to time, waive all or a portion
of the Sponsor Fee for stated periods of time. The Sponsor is under no obligation to waive any portion of its fees, and any such waiver
shall create no obligation to waive any such fees during any period not covered by the waiver.
As partial consideration for its receipt
of the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor is obligated under the Trust Agreement to assume and pay all fees and other expenses incurred by the Trust
in the ordinary course of its affairs, excluding taxes, but including: (i) the fees of the Trust’s third-party service providers,
including, but not limited to, the Marketing Agent, the Administrator, the Custodians, the Transfer Agent, the Cash Custodian, the Index
Provider, and the Trustee, (ii) the fees and expenses related to the listing, quotation or trading of the Shares on the Exchange (including
customary legal, marketing and audit fees and expenses), (iii) legal fees and expenses incurred in the ordinary course, (iv) audit fees,
(v) regulatory fees, including, if applicable, any fees relating to the registration of the Trust and Shares, including any ongoing filings
related to the offering of Shares, under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act, (vi) printing and mailing costs, (vii) costs of maintaining the
Trust’s website and (viii) applicable license fees (each, a “Sponsor-paid Expense” and collectively, the “Sponsor-paid
Expenses”), provided that any expense that qualifies as an Extraordinary Expense (as defined below) will not be deemed to be a Sponsor-paid
Expense. There is no cap on the amount of Sponsor-paid Expenses. The Sponsor has also assumed all fees and expenses related to the organization
and offering of the Trust and the Shares.
The Trust may incur certain extraordinary,
nonrecurring expenses that are not Sponsor-paid Expenses, including, but not limited to, brokerage and transaction costs associated with
the sale or transfer of XRP, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Sponsor
(or any other service provider) on behalf of the Trust to protect the Trust, the Trust’s assets, or the interests of Shareholders,
any indemnification of the Custodians or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Trust, and extraordinary legal fees
and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters
(collectively, “Extraordinary Expenses”). To the extent on-chain transaction fees are incurred in connection with transfers
or sales of XRP to pay Extraordinary Expenses, the Trust will bear such fees, but to the extent there are any on-chain transaction fees
incurred in connection with the transfers of XRP to pay the Sponsor Fee or any Sponsor-paid Expenses, the Sponsor, and not the Trust,
shall bear such fees.
9
To the extent it does not have cash
readily available, the Sponsor will cause the transfer or sale of XRP in such quantity as may be necessary to permit the payment of Trust
expenses and liabilities not assumed by the Sponsor or for payment of cash redemption proceeds to Authorized Participants (as defined
below). The Trust will seek to transfer or sell XRP at such times and in the smallest amounts required to permit such payments as they
become due. With respect to transfers or sales necessary to pay Trust expenses and liabilities that are denominated other than in XRP,
the amount of XRP transferred or sold may vary from time to time depending on the actual sales price of XRP relative to the Trust’s
expenses and liabilities (e.g., if the price of XRP falls, the amount of XRP needed to be transferred or sold to pay an expense or liability
denominated in U.S. dollars will increase). To the extent the Trust must buy or sell XRP, the Trust may do so through a third-party digital
asset broker or dealer. The Sponsor will select third party brokers or dealers that it believes have implemented adequate AML, KYC and
other legal compliance policies and procedures.
Under the terms of each Authorized
Participant Agreement, the Authorized Participants will be responsible for any brokerage or transaction costs associated with the sale
or transfer of XRP incurred in connection with the fulfillment of a creation or redemption order.
(b) Administrator, Custodians and Transfer Agent
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing
business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (the “Administrator” and “Transfer Agent”) serves as administrator,
transfer agent and accounting agent of the Trust pursuant to a Fund Servicing Agreement. Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC (the “Coinbase
Custodian”) and BitGo Trust Company, Inc. (the “BitGo Custodian” and together with Coinbase Custodian, the “Custodians”)
serve as the Trust’s Custodians. Under the Coinbase Custodial Services Agreement and the BitGo Custodial Services Agreement, the
Custodians are responsible for safekeeping all the Trust’s XRP allocated to each of the Custodians. The Custodians were selected
by the Sponsor. The Sponsor is responsible for opening accounts with the Custodians that will hold the Trust’s XRP (the “XRP
Accounts”), as well as facilitating the transfer or sale of XRP required for the operation of the Trust. U.S. Bank, N.A., an affiliate
of the Administrator and Transfer Agent serves as the cash custodian for the Trust (the “Cash Custodian”). The Cash Custodian
is responsible for safekeeping all cash and other non-XRP assets of the Trust.
(c) Marketing Agent
Paralel Distributors LLC is the marketing
agent of the Trust (the “Marketing Agent”) and is responsible for reviewing and approving the marketing materials, including
the Trust’s website, prepared by the Sponsor for compliance with applicable SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(“FINRA”) advertising laws, rules, and regulations pursuant to a marketing agreement with the Trust. The Marketing Agent is
a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and a member of FINRA.
With the assistance of the Marketing Agent, the Sponsor developed a marketing plan for the Trust, prepared marketing materials regarding
the Shares of the Trust, and exercises the marketing plan of the Trust on an ongoing basis.
(d) Principal Financial Officer
Employees of PINE Advisors LLC (“PINE”)
serve as officers of the Trust. In consideration for these services, the Sponsor pays PINE an annual fee. The Sponsor also reimburses
PINE for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
4. Capital Share Transactions
The Trust is an exchange-traded product.
The Trust issues Shares on a continuous basis and, when the Trust creates or redeems its Shares, it does so in blocks of 10,000 Shares
(a “Basket”) based on the quantity of XRP attributable to each Share of the Trust (net of accrued but unpaid expenses and
liabilities). Certain financial firms are authorized to purchase or redeem Shares of the Trust (“Authorized Participants”).
The manner by which creations are made
is dictated by the terms of the Authorized Participant Agreement. Creation orders may be denominated and settled in an amount of XRP (“In-Kind
Creation Order”) or in cash (“Cash Creation Order”). By placing an In-Kind Creation Order, an Authorized Participant
agrees to facilitate the deposit of XRP with the Custodian, either directly or indirectly through an Authorized Participant Designee.
By placing a Cash Creation Order, an Authorized Participant agrees to facilitate the deposit of cash with the Cash Custodian. An Authorized
Participant may not withdraw a creation order without the prior consent of the Sponsor in its discretion.
The manner by which redemptions are
made is dictated by the terms of the Authorized Participant Agreement. Redemption orders are denominated and settled either in-kind (“In-Kind
Redemption Order”) or in cash (“Cash Redemption Order”). By placing a redemption order, an Authorized Participant agrees
to facilitate the deposit of Shares with the Transfer Agent. If an Authorized Participant fails to consummate the foregoing, the order
will be cancelled or delayed until the required Shares have been received. An Authorized Participant may not withdraw a redemption order
without the prior consent of the Sponsor in its discretion.
10
Shares initially comprising the same
Basket but offered by the Authorized Participants to the public at different times may have different offering prices, which depend on
various factors, including the supply and demand for Shares, the value of the Trust’s assets, and market conditions at the time
of a transaction. Shareholders who buy or sell Shares during the day from their broker may do so at a premium or discount relative to
the NAV of the Shares of the Trust.
Shareholders who decide to buy or sell Shares of the
Trust place their trade orders through their brokers and incur customary brokerage commissions and charges.
Only Authorized Participants may place orders to create
and redeem baskets through the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent coordinates with the Trust’s custodians to facilitate settlement of
the Shares.

6. Related Parties
The Sponsor is considered
to be a related party to the Trust. The Trust’s operations are supported by its Sponsor. As of June 30, 2026, the Sponsor did not own
any Shares of the Trust.
7. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In the
normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that contain a variety of general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s
maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust which have
not yet occurred and cannot be predicted with any certainty. However, the Sponsor believes the risk of loss under these arrangements
to be remote. There were no commitments or contingencies required to be disclosed as of the date of the financial statements.
12
8. Concentration Risk
Substantially all of the Trust’s assets
are holdings of XRP, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of XRP. Accordingly, a decline in the
price of XRP will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares of the Trust. Factors that may have the effect of causing a decline
in the price of XRP include negative perception of digital assets; a lack of stability and standardized regulation in the digital asset
markets; the closure or temporary shutdown of digital asset platforms due to fraud, business failure, security breaches or government
mandated regulation; and a loss of investor confidence.
9. Subsequent Events
The Sponsor has evaluated subsequent events through
the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments or disclosures to the financial statements were
required.
Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion and analysis of the Trust’s financial condition and results of operations should be read together with, and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Trust’s unaudited financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
This Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” with respect to the financial
conditions, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of Canary XRP ETF (the “Trust”). In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,”
“expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,”
“potential,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. All statements (other than statements of historical
fact) included in this Quarterly Report that address activities, events, or developments that will or may occur in the future, including
such matters as movements in the digital asset markets, the Trust’s operations, the plans of Canary Capital Group LLC (the “Sponsor”),
and references to the Trust’s future success and other similar matters, are forward-looking statements. These statements are only
predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. These statements are based upon certain assumptions and analyses the Sponsor
has made based on its perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments, as well as other factors
appropriate in the circumstances.
Factors which could have a material
adverse effect on the Trust’s business, financial condition or results of operations and future prospects or which could cause actual
results to differ materially from the Trust’s expectations include, but are not limited to:
● the special considerations discussed in this Quarterly Report;
● general economic, market and business conditions;
● technology developments regarding the use of XRP and other digital
assets, including the systems used by the Sponsor and the Trust’s custodians in their provision of services to the Trust;
● changes in laws or regulations, including those concerning taxes,
made by governmental authorities or regulatory bodies;
● other world economic and political developments, including, without
limitation, global pandemics and the societal and government responses thereto; and
● any additional factors discussed in this Quarterly Report, as
well as those described from time to time in the Trust’s future reports filed with the SEC.
All the forward-looking statements
made in this Quarterly Report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments
the Sponsor anticipates will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the expected consequences to, or
have the expected effects on, the Trust’s operations or the value of the Shares.
Should one
or more of these factors or other uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary
materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on the Sponsor’s beliefs,
estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made, and neither the Trust nor the Sponsor is under a duty to update any of the
forward-looking statements to conform such statements to actual results or to reflect a change in the Sponsor’s expectations or
predictions, other than as required by applicable laws. Investors are therefore cautioned against relying on forward-looking statements.
Overview of the Trust
The
Trust is an exchange-traded fund that issues Shares that are listed and trade on the Exchange. The Trust’s investment
objective is to seek to provide exposure to the price of XRP held by the Trust, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations
and other liabilities. The Trust is a passive investment vehicle that does not seek to generate returns beyond tracking the price of
XRP. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds XRP and establishes its NAV on each business day by reference
to the Pricing Benchmark. The Pricing Benchmark is calculated by the Benchmark Provider based on a 60-minute time-weighted average
price of the Underlying Index, which is an aggregation of executed trade flow of Constituent Platforms. The Benchmark Provider
publishes the Pricing Benchmark. The Trust is sponsored by the Sponsor.
13
The Shareholders of the Trust
take no part in the management or control, and have no voice in, the Trust’s operations or business. Except to elect a successor
Sponsor upon the resignation of the Sponsor or as otherwise required by laws of the state of Delaware, Shareholders have no voting rights
under the Trust Agreement.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The Trust
typically does not hold a cash balance except in connection with the creation and redemption of “Baskets” (i.e., blocks of
10,000 Shares) or to pay expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. The Trust pays the Sponsor an annual unified fee of 0.50% of the Trust’s
XRP Holdings (the “Sponsor Fee”). The Trust’s “XRP Holdings” is the quantity of the Trust’s XRP plus
any cash or other assets held by the Trust represented in XRP as calculated using the Pricing Benchmark price, less its liabilities (which
include estimated accrued but unpaid fees and expenses) represented in XRP as calculated using the Pricing Benchmark price.
The Trust
may also incur certain extraordinary, nonrecurring expenses that are not assumed by the Sponsor, including, but not limited to, brokerage
and transaction costs associated with the sale or transfer of XRP, taxes and governmental charges, expenses and costs of any extraordinary
services performed by the Sponsor (or any other service provider) on behalf of the Trust to protect the Trust, the Trust’s assets,
or the interests of Shareholders, any indemnification of the Custodians or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Trust,
and extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement
or investigation matters (collectively, “Extraordinary Expenses”). To the extent on-chain transaction fees are incurred in
connection with transfers or sales of XRP to pay Extraordinary Expenses, the Trust will bear such fees.
To the extent
it does not have cash readily available, the Sponsor shall cause the transfer or sale of XRP in such quantity as may be necessary to permit
the payment of Trust expenses and liabilities not assumed by the Sponsor or for payment of redemption proceeds to Authorized Participants.
The Trust does not bear any costs associated with the transfer or sale of XRP to pay the Sponsor Fee. To the extent the Trust incurs any
Extraordinary Expenses, the Trust will bear the costs of any transfers or sales of XRP to pay such expenses. The Trust seeks to transfer
XRP at such times and in the smallest amounts required to permit such payments as they become due. With respect to transfers or sales
necessary to pay Trust expenses and liabilities that are denominated other than in XRP, the amount of XRP transferred or sold may vary
from time to time depending on the actual sales price of XRP relative to the Trust’s expenses and liabilities (e.g., if the price
of XRP falls, the amount of XRP needed to be transferred or sold to pay an expense denominated in U.S. dollars will increase). To the
extent the Trust must buy or sell XRP, the Trust may do so through a third-party digital asset broker or dealer. When the Trust buys or
sells XRP, the Sponsor seeks quotes from its XRP trading counterparties. Such transactions are typically conducted over the counter rather
than over a trading platform or similar order matching service. The Sponsor selects third party brokers or dealers that it believes have
implemented adequate AML, KYC and other legal compliance policies and procedures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June
30, 2026, the Trust has not used, nor does it expect to use in the future, special purpose entities to facilitate off balance sheet financing
arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in
the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing
services which are in the best interests of the Trust. While the Trust’s exposure under such indemnification provisions cannot be
estimated, these general business indemnifications are not expected to have a material impact on the Trust’s financial position.
Critical Accounting Policies
Principal Market and Fair Value Determination
The Trust’s
periodic financial statements are prepared in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 820 and utilize an exchange-traded price from the Trust’s
principal market for XRP on the Trust’s financial statement measurement date. The Sponsor determined in its sole discretion the
valuation sources and policies used to prepare the Trust’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Trust engaged a third-party
vendor to obtain a price from a principal market for XRP, which was determined and designated by such third-party vendor daily based on
its consideration of several exchange characteristics, including oversight, and the volume and frequency of trades. Under GAAP, such a
price is deemed a Level 1 input in accordance with ASC Topic 820 because it is a quoted price in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Investment Company Considerations
The Trust follows
accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Trust
uses fair value as its method of accounting for XRP. The Trust qualifies as an investment company solely for accounting purposes and not
for any other purpose. The Trust is not registered, and is not required to be registered, as an investment company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk .
Not applicable to “Smaller Reporting Companies,”
as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Trust
maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its 1934 Act reports
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Sponsor to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Under the
supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer of the Sponsor,
the Sponsor conducted an evaluation of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based
on this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer of the Sponsor concluded that,
as of June 30, 2026, the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Trust’s
internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Trust’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these internal controls over financial reporting.
