21Shares Hyperliquid Staking 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 changed its name from 21Shares Hyperliquid ETF to 21Shares Hyperliquid Staking ETF on August 25, 2026. The Trust operates pursuant to a Second 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”) 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. The Pricing Benchmark is calculated by FTSE International Limited (the “Pricing Benchmark Provider”) based on the volume weighted average price across qualifying HYPE spot markets. 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 and values its 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 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 “Seed Capital Investor”), subject to conditions, purchased 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.
On May 11, 2026, the Sponsor, in its capacity as the Seed Capital Investor, subject to conditions, purchased 20,000 Shares (the “Seed Creation Baskets”) at a per-Share price of $24.40. In its capacity as the Seed Capital Investor, the Sponsor has acted as a statutory underwriter in connection with such purchase. Total proceeds to the Trust from the sale of the Seed Creation Baskets were $488,079. Delivery of the Seed Creation Baskets was made on May 11, 2026. On May 11, 2026, the Trust purchased HYPE with the proceeds of the Seed Creation Baskets by transacting with a designated third party, who may be an Authorized Participant or an affiliate of an Authorized Participant, and with whom the Sponsor has entered into an agreement on behalf of the Trust (each such third party, a “HYPE Counterparty”) to acquire HYPE on behalf of the Trust in exchange for cash provided by the Sponsor in its capacity as Seed Capital Investor. All HYPE acquired in connection with the Seed Creation Baskets is held by one or more of the HYPE Custodians.
