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 &amp; 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.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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”.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> On March 18, 2026, the Sponsor, in its capacity as seed capital investor (the “Seed Capital Investor”), subject to conditions, purchased <span style="-sec-ix-hidden:fc_104605228;">two</span> Shares at a per-Share price of $50.00 (the “Initial Seed Shares”).

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. </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The statement of assets and liabilities and schedule of investment on September 30, 2026, and the statement of operations and changes in net assets for the three months ended September 30, 2026 have been prepared on behalf of the Trust and are unaudited.

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 HYPE 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 Sponsor’s determination of the Trust’s principal market.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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 Trust records its investment transactions on a trade date basis and changes in fair value are reflected as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on Sponsor Fee payable. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses are recognized in connection with transactions including redemption of Shares, settling obligations for the Sponsor Fee and the in-kind liabilities paid in connection to the Sponsor Fee in HYPE.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> The Trust earns staking rewards by delegating a portion of its HYPE on the Hyperliquid Network’s proof-of-stake consensus protocol. The Sponsor has entered into a staking agreement (as amended, the “Staking Services Agreement”) with Figment Inc., a Canadian corporation (the “Staking Services Provider”), to facilitate the staking of the Trust’s HYPE. Each Staking Services Provider that generates staking rewards is entitled to compensation determined as a portion of the staking rewards (the “Staking Provider Consideration”). The Sponsor, the Staking Services Provider and HYPE Custodians receive an aggregate of 30% of the staking rewards, with the remainder to be distributed to Shareholders at least quarterly in the form of cash distributions. Staking rewards represent variable consideration based on a variety of factors such as the amount of the HYPE holdings the Trust has made available to the network, the staking yield, and other factors, for its contribution to the network. The Trust retains control of its HYPE throughout the staking process. The delegation of HYPE for staking purposes does not constitute a sale, transfer, or other derecognition event, as control of the HYPE is not transferred to the validator or Staking Services Provider. Staking rewards are recorded as staking income recognized at fair value when earned. Because the Trust is not the principal to the block validation service, it does not control the full output of the reward-generating activity, and instead earns net staking rewards, after the Staking Provider Consideration is deducted (“Staking Rewards”). The rewards owed or paid to the Staking Services Provider reduce the amount of HYPE rewards that are generated from the Trust’s staking activities (“Staking Activities”) that are available in the assets of the Trust. As such, the Trust presents staking rewards on a net basis, reflecting transaction cost and only the portion of protocol rewards to which it is entitled. Staking Rewards are received in general daily at the HYPE Custodians’ accounts, as earned. The unbonding period for staked HYPE is a fixed seven-day period mandated by the network protocol following the Sponsor’s request to unstake such assets in addition to the one-day lockup period to unstake HYPE from a specific validator, with the Trust’s HYPE becoming available for transfer upon completion of the applicable unbonding period. The Trust’s staked HYPE is unable to be moved on the blockchain or traded during this period. </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Trust recognizes Staking Rewards as revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under the staking arrangements, the validator (e.g., the HYPE Custodian or other Staking Services Provider) is considered the customer, as it receives access to the Trust’s staking capacity (i.e., the delegation of HYPE), which represents the Trust’s performance obligation. In exchange, the Trust is entitled to staking rewards generated by the Hyperliquid Network, net of validator fees. Staking rewards represent variable consideration, as the amount of rewards is not known until the applicable validation activities are completed, and the Trust receives rewards in its custodial account. The contract term is the length of each staking epoch. Staking rewards are recognized as revenue when the Trust satisfies its performance obligations. Staking rewards are received in HYPE, which represents non-cash consideration. Non-cash consideration is measured at fair value at the date of inception of each contract in accordance with ASC 606.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> Temporary lock-up periods or transfer restrictions from staking could limit the Trust’s ability to meet redemptions. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Trust staked an average of 91.04% of its HYPE holdings on a daily basis. As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the Trust had staked 85.92% and 94.43%, respectively, of its HYPE holdings. The staked percentage as of any particular date, including at the end of a reporting period, may differ from the quarterly average. </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Sponsor Fee payable is settled in HYPE. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date by reference to the fair value of the HYPE required to settle it, with the effect of remeasurement recognized in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Sponsor Fee payable. On settlement, the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the fair value of the HYPE delivered is recognized as a net realized gain (loss) on in-kind liabilities paid.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline">Distributions to Shareholders</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Trust pays cash distributions to Shareholders at least quarterly.

Shareholders of record as of the ex-dividend date are entitled to receive distributions paid on the applicable payment date.

The distributions reduced the Trust’s HYPE holdings through the sale of HYPE to generate cash.

As a grantor trust, the Trust can undertake only certain types of activities. For example, generally, the Trust cannot vary its investment portfolio to take advantage of market fluctuations. The Trust may receive income from investment activities that do not require such decision-making. If staking is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a passive ministerial and administrative activity, it should be permissible for the Trust. To that end, on November 10, 2025, the Treasury Department and IRS issued a revenue procedure that provided a safe harbor for trusts that otherwise qualify as investment trusts and as grantor trusts to stake their digital assets without jeopardizing their tax status as investment trusts and grantor trusts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The revenue procedure provides specific requirements that must be satisfied by a Trust in order to be eligible to rely on the safe harbor. The Trust intends to operate so that it will qualify to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Because the treatment of staking in a grantor trust, including interpretation of the requirements under the safe harbor, is still developing, there remains a risk of adverse regulatory or legal determinations that could affect the tax treatment of the Trust as a grantor trust or affect the Trust’s operations.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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, gain, losses and deductions. If the Trust sells HYPE (for example, to pay fees or expenses), such a sale is a taxable event to shareholders of the Trust (“Shareholders”). Upon a Shareholder’s sale of its Shares, the Shareholder will be treated as having sold the pro rata share of the HYPE held in the Trust at the time of the sale and recognizes a gain or loss on such sale.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Sponsor has reviewed the tax positions as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Trust’s financial statements.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline">Segment Reporting</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> The Trust operates in one segment.

The Trust records its investment transactions on a trade date basis and changes in fair value are reflected as net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and the net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on Sponsor Fee payable.

The Sponsor has entered into a staking agreement (as amended, the “Staking Services Agreement”) with Figment Inc., a Canadian corporation (the “Staking Services Provider”), to facilitate the staking of the Trust’s HYPE. Each Staking Services Provider that generates staking rewards is entitled to compensation determined as a portion of the staking rewards (the “Staking Provider Consideration”). The Sponsor, the Staking Services Provider and HYPE Custodians receive an aggregate of 30% of the staking rewards, with the remainder to be distributed to Shareholders at least quarterly in the form of cash distributions. Staking rewards represent variable consideration based on a variety of factors such as the amount of the HYPE holdings the Trust has made available to the network, the staking yield, and other factors, for its contribution to the network. The Trust retains control of its HYPE throughout the staking process. The delegation of HYPE for staking purposes does not constitute a sale, transfer, or other derecognition event, as control of the HYPE is not transferred to the validator or Staking Services Provider. Staking rewards are recorded as staking income recognized at fair value when earned. Because the Trust is not the principal to the block validation service, it does not control the full output of the reward-generating activity, and instead earns net staking rewards, after the Staking Provider Consideration is deducted (“Staking Rewards”). The rewards owed or paid to the Staking Services Provider reduce the amount of HYPE rewards that are generated from the Trust’s staking activities (“Staking Activities”) that are available in the assets of the Trust. As such, the Trust presents staking rewards on a net basis, reflecting transaction cost and only the portion of protocol rewards to which it is entitled. Staking Rewards are received in general daily at the HYPE Custodians’ accounts, as earned. The unbonding period for staked HYPE is a fixed seven-day period mandated by the network protocol following the Sponsor’s request to unstake such assets in addition to the one-day lockup period to unstake HYPE from a specific validator, with the Trust’s HYPE becoming available for transfer upon completion of the applicable unbonding period. The Trust’s staked HYPE is unable to be moved on the blockchain or traded during this period. </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Trust recognizes Staking Rewards as revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under the staking arrangements, the validator (e.g., the HYPE Custodian or other Staking Services Provider) is considered the customer, as it receives access to the Trust’s staking capacity (i.e., the delegation of HYPE), which represents the Trust’s performance obligation. In exchange, the Trust is entitled to staking rewards generated by the Hyperliquid Network, net of validator fees. Staking rewards represent variable consideration, as the amount of rewards is not known until the applicable validation activities are completed, and the Trust receives rewards in its custodial account. The contract term is the length of each staking epoch. Staking rewards are recognized as revenue when the Trust satisfies its performance obligations. Staking rewards are received in HYPE, which represents non-cash consideration. Non-cash consideration is measured at fair value at the date of inception of each contract in accordance with ASC 606.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> Temporary lock-up periods or transfer restrictions from staking could limit the Trust’s ability to meet redemptions. For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Trust staked an average of 91.04% of its HYPE holdings on a daily basis. As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the Trust had staked 85.92% and 94.43%, respectively, of its HYPE holdings. The staked percentage as of any particular date, including at the end of a reporting period, may differ from the quarterly average. </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Sponsor Fee payable is settled in HYPE. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date by reference to the fair value of the HYPE required to settle it, with the effect of remeasurement recognized in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Sponsor Fee payable. On settlement, the difference between the carrying amount of the liability and the fair value of the HYPE delivered is recognized as a net realized gain (loss) on in-kind liabilities paid.</p> 0.30 0.9104 0.8592 0.9443 <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline">Distributions to Shareholders</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Trust pays cash distributions to Shareholders at least quarterly.

The distributions reduced the Trust’s HYPE holdings through the sale of HYPE to generate cash. As of September 30, 2026, the distribution declared on September 29, 2026 had not yet been paid and is reflected as Distribution payable of $338,707 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. </p> 338707 0.19136 338707 <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline">Calculation of NAV and NAV per Share</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">On each day other than when the Exchange is closed for regular trading (a “Business Day”), as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. ET, the NAV of the Trust is obtained by subtracting all accrued fees, expenses and other liabilities of the Trust from the value of the HYPE and other assets held by the Trust based on the Pricing Benchmark price.

As a grantor trust, the Trust can undertake only certain types of activities. For example, generally, the Trust cannot vary its investment portfolio to take advantage of market fluctuations. The Trust may receive income from investment activities that do not require such decision-making. If staking is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a passive ministerial and administrative activity, it should be permissible for the Trust. To that end, on November 10, 2025, the Treasury Department and IRS issued a revenue procedure that provided a safe harbor for trusts that otherwise qualify as investment trusts and as grantor trusts to stake their digital assets without jeopardizing their tax status as investment trusts and grantor trusts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The revenue procedure provides specific requirements that must be satisfied by a Trust in order to be eligible to rely on the safe harbor. The Trust intends to operate so that it will qualify to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Because the treatment of staking in a grantor trust, including interpretation of the requirements under the safe harbor, is still developing, there remains a risk of adverse regulatory or legal determinations that could affect the tax treatment of the Trust as a grantor trust or affect the Trust’s operations.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">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, gain, losses and deductions. If the Trust sells HYPE (for example, to pay fees or expenses), such a sale is a taxable event to shareholders of the Trust (“Shareholders”). Upon a Shareholder’s sale of its Shares, the Shareholder will be treated as having sold the pro rata share of the HYPE held in the Trust at the time of the sale and recognizes a gain or loss on such sale.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Sponsor has reviewed the tax positions as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Trust’s financial statements.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline">Segment Reporting</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> The Trust operates in one segment.

The Sponsor Fee is paid by the Trust to the Sponsor as compensation for services performed under the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor Fee accrues daily and is payable in HYPE at least quarterly in arrears. The Administrator calculates the Sponsor Fee on a daily basis by applying an annualized rate to the Trust’s NAV, and the amount of HYPE payable in respect of each daily accrual is determined by reference to the Pricing Benchmark. The Sponsor has agreed to pay all operating expenses (except for litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) out of the Sponsor Fee. The Trust incurred a Sponsor Fee for the three months ended September 30, 2026 of $50,179. The accrued liability as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026 was $2,004 and $2,736, respectively. </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Sponsor has agreed to pay all operating expenses (except for litigation expenses, extraordinary expenses and taxes) out of the Sponsor Fee.

Of the Sponsor-paid Expenses, ordinary course legal fees and expenses shall be subject to a cap of $100,000 per annum. In the Sponsor’s sole discretion, all or any portion of a Sponsor-paid Expense may be re-designated as an Additional Trust Expense if, among other reasons, the Sponsor determines that a Sponsor-paid Expense is an extraordinary, non-recurring expense of the Trust.

The Staking Fee is accrued in HYPE and converted to U.S. Dollars by reference to the Pricing Benchmark and is payable in HYPE at least quarterly in arrears. The Trust incurred Staking Fee for the three months ended September 30, 2026 of $65,247. </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">To the extent that the Sponsor does not voluntarily assume expenses, they will be the responsibility of the Trust.

Any slippage incurred (including, but not limited to, any trading fees, spreads, or commissions), on a cash equivalent basis, will be the responsibility of the Authorized Participant and not of the Trust or Sponsor.

This concentration maximizes the degree of the Trust’s exposure to a variety of market risks associated with HYPE and digital assets. By concentrating its investment strategy solely in HYPE, any losses suffered as a result of a decrease in the value of HYPE can be expected to reduce the value of an interest in the Trust and will not be offset by other gains if the Trust were to invest in underlying assets that were diversified.</p> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" width="100%"><tbody><tr style="vertical-align: top;"><td style="width: 0.25in;"> </td><td style="width: 0.25in;">10.</td> <td><span style="text-decoration:underline">Indemnification</span></td> </tr></tbody></table> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Sponsor will not be liable to the Trust, the Trustee or any Shareholder for any action taken or for refraining from taking any action in good faith, or for errors in judgment or for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of the sale of any HYPE or other assets of the Trust.
