Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF (fka Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF) (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on July 12, 2024. The Trust operates pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of November 12, 2025 (the “Declaration of Trust”). The Trust is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, as amended, the “1933 Act”).
The Trust was formed and is managed and controlled by the Sponsor. The sponsor of the Trust is Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. (the “Sponsor”). CSC Delaware Trust Company is the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”). The Trust is designed to provide investors with price exposure to certain crypto assets, namely, those included in the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index™ (NCIS), as detailed below. References to the “Index” as used herein refers to the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price™ Index (NCIUSS) prior to January 20, 2026 (“Transition Date”) and the New Index after the Transition Date. NCIS is a daily closing value of the Nasdaq CME Crypto™ Index (NCI) which is designed to measure the performance of a material portion of the overall crypto asset market. NCIUSS is a daily closing value of the Nasdaq Crypto US™ Index (NCIUS) which is designed to measure the performance of a material portion of the overall crypto asset market. The Trust issues shares representing units of fractional undivided beneficial interests (“Shares”) that trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Exchange”) under the symbol “NCIQ”.
The Trust commenced operations on February 14, 2025. Shares can be purchased and sold by investors through their broker-dealer. Purchasing Shares of the Trust is subject to the risks of crypto assets and crypto asset markets as well as the additional risks of investing in the Trust. The Trust’s investment objective is to align the daily changes in the Shares’ net asset value (“NAV”) with the daily price changes of the Index, minus operational expenses and liabilities, by investing in the index constituents (“Index Constituents”). Because the Trust’s investment objective is to track the price of the Index, changes in the price of the Shares may vary from changes in the Index Constituents’ prices.
An investment in the Trust is subject to the risks of an investment in the Index Constituents of which are subject to a high degree of price variability, as well as to the risks of crypto asset markets more generally. An investment in the Trust may be riskier than other exchange-traded products that do not directly hold crypto assets, or financial instruments related to crypto, and may not be suitable for all investors. In addition, the Index Constituents may experience pronounced and swift price changes. Accordingly, there is a potential for change in the price of Shares between the time an investor places an order to purchase or sell with its broker-dealer and the time of the actual purchase or sale resulting from the price volatility of Index Constituents. The Index will be reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly, on the first Business Day in March, June, September, and December to align the weightings of the Index Constituents with the index methodology published by the Exchange.
The statement of assets and liabilities and schedule of investments at December 31, 2025, and the statements of operations and changes in net assets for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2025 have been prepared on behalf of the Trust and are audited. In the opinion of management of the Sponsor of the Trust, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2025 have been made. The fiscal year end of the Trust is December 31st.
On October 7, 2025, the Trust entered into a Master Infrastructure-as-a-Service Agreement with Coinbase Cloud Pte. Ltd. (“Coinbase Cloud”) pursuant to which Coinbase Cloud will provide the infrastructure and related technical services necessary to enable the Trust to participate in staking activities with respect to certain eligible crypto assets held by the Trust. The Trust did not participate in any staking activities during the period ended December 31, 2025. |
