The 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust, formed on July 24, 2025, pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”). The Trust was initially registered with the name of Jura Pentium Trust 13. The Trust changed its name from Jura Pentium Trust 13 to 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF on October 27, 2025. The Trust operates pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (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 21Shares US LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Sponsor is a limited liability company formed in the state of Delaware on June 16, 2021, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of 21co Holdings Limited. The ultimate parent company of 21co Holdings Limited is FalconX Holdings Limited (“FalconX”). Anchorage Digital Bank N.A. (“Anchorage”) and BitGo Bank & Trust, N.A. (“BitGo,” and together with Anchorage, the “HYPE Custodians”, and each a “HYPE Custodian”) are the custodians for the Trust and hold all of the Trust’s HYPE on the Trust’s behalf. The transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), the administrator for the Trust (the “Administrator”), and the cash custodian (the “Cash Custodian”), is Bank of New York Mellon.

 

The Trust is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that issues common shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”) that trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Exchange”). The Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange under the ticker symbol “THYP”.

 

The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the performance of HYPE as measured by the performance of the FTSE Hyperliquid Index (the “Pricing Benchmark”), adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities, and to reflect rewards from staking a portion of the Trust’s HYPE, to the extent the Sponsor in its sole discretion determines that the Trust may do so without undue legal or regulatory risk, such as, without limitation, the risk of jeopardizing the Trust’s ability to qualify as a grantor trust for tax purposes. FTSE International Limited is the administrator for the Pricing Benchmark (the “Pricing Benchmark Provider”). The Pricing Benchmark is designed to reflect the performance of HYPE in U.S. dollars. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust holds HYPE at the HYPE Custodians and the Administrator values the Shares daily as of 4:00 p.m. ET based on the Pricing Benchmark.

 

The Trust is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, as such, the Trust may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

On March 18, 2026, the Sponsor, in its capacity as seed capital investor (the “Initial Seed Capital Investor”), subject to conditions, purchased two Shares at a per-Share price of $50.00 (the “Initial Seed Shares”). Total proceeds to the Trust from the sale of these Initial Seed Shares were $100. Delivery of the Initial Seed Shares was made on March 18, 2026. These Initial Seed Shares were redeemed for cash on March 23, 2026.

 

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2026 and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the period from March 18, 2026 (date of initial seeding) through March 31, 2026 have been prepared on behalf of the Trust and are unaudited. 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 period March 18, 2026 (date of initial seeding) through March 31, 2026, have been made. In addition, interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period.

 

The trust had no operations other than the Initial Seed Shares capital transaction and redemption of the Initial Seed Shares.

 

The fiscal year-end of the Trust is June 30th
