Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bitwise Avalanche ETF reported results for the period from April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2026. Net assets reached $16,673,620, backed by 2,538,567.9222 AVAX held in the Trust, with a Principal Market NAV of $17.74 per share on 940,000 shares outstanding.

The Trust generated $147,423 in Staking Rewards and net investment income of $128,525, but recorded net realized and unrealized losses on Avalanche of $7,297,543 as AVAX declined from $9.32 at launch to $6.57, producing a -29.04% total return at NAV. The Sponsor waived fees for an initial one‑month period, resulting in annualized net expenses of 0.45%, including staking fees. The Trust operates as an emerging growth company and pursues a strategy of holding and staking Avalanche, while managing liquidity via a reserve and laddered staking periods.

Positive

None.

Negative

AVAX price decline drove a -29.04% total return and $7.3 million in net realized and unrealized losses for the period, reducing Principal Market NAV per share from $25.00 at inception to $17.74.

Filing Explained

Zero cash and staking lockups leave redemptions dependent on unstaked Avalanche, with possible delayed settlement or temporary suspension if reserves are insufficient.

Form 10-Q is an unaudited quarterly report, and this filing updates the Trust’s interim financial condition, operations, risks and liquidity.

At June 30, 2026, the Trust held no cash, while staked Avalanche cannot be immediately withdrawn; this makes redemption capacity dependent on unstaked holdings. Shares are created or redeemed in 10,000-share baskets with authorized participants, either in Avalanche or cash, at NAV rather than directly with individual shareholders.

The filing says laddered staking is intended to make portions periodically available, but also says this does not guarantee next-business-day redemptions when the Liquidity Reserve is insufficient. During April 2026, authorized participants redeemed 80,008 Shares, and no Shares were redeemed in May or June.

If the reserve cannot meet redemption orders, the stated resolution paths include delayed settlement or a temporary suspension of redemptions; the Trust may also use borrowing or exchange staked Avalanche for unstaked Avalanche, potentially involving interest or a trading spread.

Key Terms

6 terms

Staking Rewards financial

"Staking Rewards are variable and will accrue to the benefit of the Trust"

Staking rewards are incentives given to individuals who commit their cryptocurrency holdings to support a blockchain network's operations, such as confirming transactions and maintaining security. Think of it like earning interest or dividends for locking up your savings or investments, encouraging people to keep their assets engaged in keeping the system running smoothly. For investors, staking rewards provide a way to earn passive income while helping to secure the network.

Liquidity Reserve financial

"Avalanche held in the “Liquidity Reserve,” which is the portion of the Trust’s Avalanche"

Cash or assets that a company or fund keeps on hand that can be quickly turned into cash to pay bills, cover unexpected costs, or take advantage of opportunities. Think of it as a business’s emergency fund: it reduces the risk of running short of money, helps meet investor redemptions or debt payments, and signals financial stability—important signals for investors judging short-term safety and solvency.

Principal Market NAV financial

"for purposes of calculating the Trust's net asset value in accordance with U.S. GAAP ("Principal Market NAV""

Basket financial

"The Trust may either create and redeem Shares in-kind for Avalanche in blocks of 10,000 Shares (each, a “Basket”)"

A basket is a collection of securities or assets grouped and traded together as a single unit—like buying a mixed fruit basket instead of one apple. Investors use baskets to spread risk across many holdings, gain broad exposure to a sector, index or investment idea, or execute large trades more efficiently; the basket’s performance shows how that group behaves and affects portfolio diversification, costs and risk.

Emerging growth company regulatory

"The Trust is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the JOBS Act"

An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

Grantor trust regulatory

"The Trust is classified as a “grantor trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes"

A grantor trust is a legal arrangement where the person who puts assets into the trust keeps enough control or rights that, for tax and legal purposes, those assets are treated as still belonging to that person. For investors, that matters because income, gains and losses generated by the trust typically flow through to the grantor (or directly to investors) for tax reporting and distributions, affecting after-tax returns and cash flow predictability — think of it like a mailbox that forwards all the mail back to the sender rather than holding it inside.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Bitwise Avalanche 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 Bitwise Investment Advisers, 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 Avalanche and other digital assets, including the systems used by the Sponsor and the Trust’s custodian 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 risk factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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 risks discussed in the section entitled “Risk 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.

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS

The Trust is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced reporting requirements. For as long as the Trust is an emerging growth company, unlike other public companies, it will not be required to:

•

provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

•

comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) requiring mandatory auditor rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer;

•

comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012, unless the Securities and Exchange Commission determines otherwise;

•

provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies; or

•

obtain shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

The Trust will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of (i) when it has $1.235 billion or more in total annual gross revenues during its most recently completed fiscal year; (ii) when it is deemed to be a large accelerated filer under Rule 12b-2 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (iii) when it has issued more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period; or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of its initial public offering.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Trust intends to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period.

Industry and Market Data

Although we are responsible for all disclosure contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in some cases we have relied on certain market and industry data obtained from third-party sources that we believe to be reliable.

Notes To Financial Statements

June 30, 2026 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

Bitwise Avalanche ETF (the “Trust”) is an investment trust organized on September 4, 2025 under Delaware law pursuant to a Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust’s primary investment objective is to seek to provide exposure to the value of Avalanche held by the Trust, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations, generally just the Sponsor Fee. The Trust’s secondary investment objective is to seek to derive additional Avalanche through staking. In seeking to achieve its primary investment objective, the Trust’s sole asset is expected to be Avalanche. The Trust is an Exchange Traded Product (“ETP”) that issues common shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) that are listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) under the ticker symbol “BAVA,” providing investors with an efficient means to obtain market exposure to the price of Avalanche.

Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Sponsor”) serves as the Sponsor for the Trust. The Sponsor arranged for the creation of the Trust and is responsible for the ongoing registration of the Shares for their public offering in the U.S. and the listing of Shares on the Exchange. The Sponsor will develop a marketing plan for the Trust, will prepare marketing materials regarding the Shares, and will operate the marketing plan of the Trust on an ongoing basis. The Sponsor also oversees the additional service providers of the Trust and exercises managerial control of the Trust as permitted under the Trust Agreement. The Sponsor has agreed to pay all operating expenses (except for litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) out of the Sponsor’s unified management fee.

Delaware Trust Company acts as the trustee of the Trust for the purpose of creating a Delaware statutory trust in accordance with the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”). The Trustee is appointed to serve as the trustee of the Trust in the State of Delaware for the sole purpose of satisfying the requirement of Section 3807(a) of the DSTA that the Trust have at least one trustee with a principal place of business in the State of Delaware.

The statement of assets and liabilities and schedule of investment as of June 30, 2026, and the statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in net assets for the period from April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 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 from April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2026, and for all interim periods presented have been made. In addition, interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period.

Prior to the commencement of operations on April 14, 2026, on October 22, 2025, Bitwise Asset Management, Inc. ("BAM"), the parent company of the Sponsor, purchased 8 Shares at a per-Share price of $25.00 for $200.00 in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act (the "Seed Shares"). On April 14, 2026, BAM redeemed the entirety of its 8 Seed Shares for $200 and Bitwise Investment Manager, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, purchased the initial 100,000 Shares of the Trust (the “Seed Baskets”) for $2,500,000, at a per-Share price of $25.00. On April 15, 2026, BIM sold all of its 100,000 Shares of the Trust for cash.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The Trust is an investment company and follows the specialized accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance 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 this financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 Revenue Recognition

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 investment in Avalanche. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses are recognized in connection with transactions including settling obligations for the Sponsor Fee in Avalanche.

Staked Avalanche and Staking Rewards

Avalanche held by the Trust is bonded through Attestant, Ltd., an affiliate of the Sponsor (the "Staking Agent"), to the Avalanche network ("staked") for purposes of validating a node or multiple nodes on the network. Avalanche staked to the Avalanche network receives network inflation and Maximum Extractable Value (“MEV”) rewards in the form of Avalanche ("Staking Rewards"). Staking Rewards are variable and will accrue to the benefit of the Trust, net of delegator fees. Avalanche Staking Rewards are measured at fair value on the date they are accrued. Under current Avalanche network protocols, Avalanche staked on the Avalanche Network is staked for a defined staking period (between two weeks and one year, depending on the staking period selected). While staked, Avalanche cannot be immediately withdrawn.

Under normal circumstances, the Sponsor anticipates that it will engage in staking with respect to all of the Trust’s Avalanche, except for Avalanche held in the “Liquidity Reserve,” which is the portion of the Trust’s Avalanche holdings that are unstaked and are freely transferable and available to meet redemptions. Because the Trust anticipates staking a substantial portion of its Avalanche holdings, the Trust has adopted liquidity risk policies and procedures to monitor and manage the Liquidity Reserve. These policies and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that the Trust is able to satisfy redemptions without incurring the risk of significant dilution of the remaining Shareholders’ interest in the Trust.

The Sponsor employs a laddered staking approach with regard to the defined staking period it selects when managing the Trust’s staked Avalanche. Under this approach, the Sponsor staggers staking positions across multiple staking periods with differing maturity dates, rather than staking all the Trust’s Avalanche for a single, uniform duration. By maintaining multiple staking positions with rolling expiration dates, the Sponsor ensures that a portion of the Trust’s Avalanche holdings is periodically becoming unstaked and available to meet redemption requests, as needed. The Sponsor makes all of its Avalanche available for staking, while continuing to manage liquidity risk. When determining staking durations, the Sponsor considers the same information as when determining the Liquidity Reserve, and any other information it deems relevant in its sole discretion to protect and preserve the Trust’s Avalanche and meet anticipated liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2026, the Sponsor is staking the Trust's Avalanche, on average, in two week durations.

Staking Rewards are earned by the Trust in Avalanche, which is a non-cash consideration, as the validator with whom the Trust has staked its Avalanche validates transactions on the Avalanche network. The Trust has concluded that the validator is the principal to the validation activities giving rise to the Staking Rewards and, therefore, the Trust recognizes only the net amount (i.e., net of the Staking Rewards retained by the validator) of Avalanche to which it is entitled for staking its Avalanche with the validator.

Investment Valuation - Principal Market Net Asset Value ("NAV")

To determine which market is the Trust's principal market (or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market) for purposes of calculating the Trust's net asset value in accordance with U.S. GAAP ("Principal Market NAV" and "Principal Market NAV per Share"), the Trust follows ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, which outlines the application of fair value accounting. ASC 820-10 determines fair value to be the price that would be received for Avalanche in a current sale, which assumes an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 requires the Trust to assume that Avalanche is sold in its principal market to market participants or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or most advantageous market that are independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact.

The Trust only receives Avalanche in connection with a creation order from the Authorized Participant (or a Liquidity Provider) and does not itself transact on any Digital Asset Markets. Therefore, the Trust looks to market-based volume and level of activity for Digital Asset Markets. The Authorized Participant(s), or a Liquidity Provider, may transact in a Brokered Market, a Dealer Market, Principal-to-Principal Markets and Exchange Markets (“Trading Platform Markets”), each as defined in the FASB ASC Master Glossary (collectively, “Digital Asset Markets”).

In determining which of the eligible Digital Asset Markets is the Trust's principal market, the Trust reviews these criteria in the following order:

First, the Trust reviews a list of Digital Asset Markets that are U.S. accessible, have historically provided publicly available data, and are exchanges that Bitwise normally transacts on. Specifically, the Trust utilizes a third-party valuation vendor, Lukka, Inc., to identify publicly available, well established and reputable crypto asset exchanges selected in their sole discretion.

Second, Lukka, Inc. sorts these Digital Asset Markets from high to low by market-based volume and level of activity of Avalanche traded on each Digital Asset Market. For the period from April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2026, this sort was performed for Digital Asset Markets for the period mid-May through mid-June 2026.

Third, Lukka, Inc. then reviews pricing fluctuations and the degree of variances in price on each Digital Asset Market during the 60 minutes prior to 4:00 p.m. ET for Avalanche to identify any material notable variances that may impact the volume or price information of a particular Digital Asset Market.

Fourth, Lukka, Inc. then selects a Digital Asset Market as its principal market based on the highest market-based volume level of activity and price stability in comparison to the other Digital Asset Markets on the list.

As of June 30, 2026, Lukka, Inc. included Binance, Bitfinex, Bitflyer, Bitstamp, Bullish, Bybit, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Gate.io, Gemini, HitBTC, Huobi, itBit, Kraken, KuCoin, LMAX, MEXC Global, OKX and Poloniex as its primary Exchange Markets in consideration.

At June 30, 2026, the principal market and the principal market price for Avalanche, which is composed of the majority of the Trust’s assets as of June 30, 2026, was Coinbase with a price of $6.57.

The Trust determines its principal market (or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market) annually and conducts a quarterly analysis to determine (i) if there have been recent changes to each Digital Asset Market’s trading volume and level of activity in the trailing twelve months, (ii) if any Digital Asset Markets have developed that the Trust has access to, or (iii) if recent changes to each Digital Asset Market's price stability have occurred that would materially impact the selection of the principal market and necessitate a change in the Trust's determination of its principal market.

The cost basis of the Avalanche received by the Trust in connection with a creation order is recorded by the Trust at the fair value of Avalanche at 4:00 p.m. ET on the creation date for financial reporting purposes. The cost basis recorded by the Trust may differ from proceeds collected by the Authorized Participant from the sale of the corresponding Shares to investors.

Various inputs are used to determine 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.

The following summarizes the Trust’s assets accounted for at fair value at June 30, 2026*:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets
Investments in Avalanche, at fair value	$	16,678,391	$	—	$	—	$	16,678,391

* No comparative period information yet available as the Trust commenced operations on April 14, 2026.

Calculation of Net Asset Value (NAV) and NAV Per-Share

On each business day, as soon as practicable after 4:00 p.m. EST, the NAV of the Trust is obtained by subtracting all accrued fees and other liabilities of the Trust from the fair value of the Avalanche and other assets held by the Trust. The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Administrator”) computes the NAV per Share by dividing the NAV of the Trust by the number of Shares outstanding on the date the computation is made.

Income Taxes

The Trust is classified as a “grantor trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, the Trust’s income and expenses “flow through” to the shareholders, and the Administrator reports the Trust’s income, gains, losses, and deductions to the Internal Revenue Service on that basis. The Sponsor has analyzed applicable tax laws and regulations and their application to the Trust, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability as of June 30, 2026.

The Trust is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. As of June 30, 2026, the Trust has determined that no provision for income taxes is required and no liability for unrecognized tax benefits has been recorded. The Trust does not expect that its assessment related to unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months. However, the Trust’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions; compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state, and tax laws of jurisdictions in which the Trust operates; and changes in the administrative practices and precedents of the relevant authorities. The Trust is required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of June 30, 2026, all tax years since inception remain open for examination. There were no examinations in progress at period end.

Organizational and offering costs

The costs of the Trust’s organization and the initial offering of the Shares will be borne directly by the Sponsor. The Trust will not be obligated to reimburse the Sponsor.

3. Fair Value of Avalanche

As of June 30, 2026*, the Trust held a net closing balance of 2,538,567.9222 Avalanche with a total market value of $16,635,489 based on the CME CF Avalanche - Dollar Reference Rate - New York Variant (“AVAXUSD_NY”) price of $6.55 used to determine the Trust's NAV. The total market value of the Trust's Avalanche held was $16,678,391 based on the price of Avalanche (Lukka Prime Rate) in the principal market (Coinbase) of $6.57, used to determine the Trust's Principal Market NAV.

The following represents the changes in quantity of Avalanche and the respective fair value for the period from April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2026*:


	Quantity of Avalanche			Fair Value
Beginning balance as of April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations)		0.0000		$	0

* No comparative period information yet available as the Trust commenced operations on April 14, 2026.

1 Fair value of Avalanche received from Staking Rewards is calculated using the 4:00 p.m. ET fair value of Avalanche on the day the Staking Rewards are initially accrued.

Additions during the quarter primarily represent Avalanche purchased due to creations into the Trust and In-Kind Creations. Additions also included Avalanche received as reward for staking activities. Dispositions during the quarter represent Avalanche sold as a result of shareholder redemptions from the Trust. In addition, Avalanche were transferred to pay the Sponsor Fee of the Trust. For the period from April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2026, the Trust recognized net realized losses of $930, which represents the net of cumulative realized gains of $308 and cumulative realized losses of $1,238.

4. Related Party Transactions and Agreements

The Trust pays a Sponsor Fee of 0.34% per annum of the Trust’s Avalanche holdings. For the one-month period commencing on April 15, 2026, the day the Shares were initially listed on the Exchange, the Sponsor waived the entire Sponsor Fee on the first $500 million of Trust assets through May 14, 2026.

The Sponsor Fee is paid by the Trust to the Sponsor as compensation for services performed under the Trust Agreement and Sponsor Agreement. After the period during which all or a portion of the Sponsor Fee was waived, the Sponsor Fee began accruing daily, and will be payable in Avalanche monthly in arrears. The Administrator calculates the Sponsor Fee on a daily basis by applying a 0.34% annualized rate to the Trust’s total Avalanche holdings, and the amount of Avalanche payable in respect of each daily accrual shall be determined by reference to the CME CF Avalanche–Dollar Reference Rate – New York Variant price. The NAV of the Trust is reduced each day by the amount of the Sponsor Fee calculated each day. On or about the last day of each month, an amount of Avalanche will be transferred from the Trust Avalanche Account to the Sponsor Avalanche Account equal to the sum of all daily Sponsor Fees accrued for the month in U.S. dollars divided by the CME CF Avalanche–Dollar Reference Rate – New York Variant price on the last day of the month. The Trust is not responsible for paying any fees or costs associated with the transferring of Avalanche to the Sponsor. In exchange for the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume and pay the normal operating expenses of the Trust, which include the Trustee’s monthly fee and out-of-pocket expenses, the fees of the Trust’s regular service providers (Cash Custodian, Avalanche Custodian, Prime Execution Agent, Marketing Agent, Transfer Agent and Administrator), exchange listing fees, tax reporting fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and up to $500,000 per annum in ordinary legal fees and expenses. The Sponsor may determine in its sole discretion to assume legal fees and expenses of the Trust in excess of $500,000 per annum. The Sponsor also agreed to pay the costs of the Trust’s organization.

The Trust may incur certain extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not assumed by the Sponsor, including but not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, any applicable brokerage commissions, financing fees, Avalanche network fees and similar transaction fees, 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 or the Shareholders (including, for example, in connection with any fork of the Avalanche blockchain, any Incidental

Rights and any IR Asset, any indemnification of the Cash Custodian, Avalanche Custodian, Prime Execution Agent, Transfer Agent, Administrator 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.

See Note 1 for further discussion on related party capital transactions. As of June 30, 2026, the Sponsor owned no Shares of the Trust.

5. Creation and Redemption of Shares

The Trust may either create and redeem Shares in-kind for Avalanche (“In-Kind Creations” and “In-Kind Redemptions,” respectively) or for cash (“Cash Creations” and “Cash Redemptions,” respectively). When the Trust creates or redeems its Shares, it does so in blocks of 10,000 Shares (each, a “Basket”) based on the quantity of Avalanche attributable to each Share of the Trust (net of accrued but unpaid expenses and liabilities) multiplied by the number of Shares (10,000) comprising a Basket (the “Basket Amount”). For an order to purchase (create) a Basket, the purchase shall be in the amount of Avalanche represented by the Basket Amount (in the case of an In-Kind Creation) or the amount of U.S. dollars needed to purchase the Basket Amount (plus a per-order transaction fee), as calculated by the Administrator (in the case of a Cash Creation). For an order to redeem a Basket, the Sponsor shall either arrange for the Basket Amount of Avalanche to be distributed in-kind (in the case of an In-Kind Redemption) or sold and the cash proceeds (minus a per-order transaction fee) distributed (in the case of a Cash Redemption).

The Trust only creates and redeems Baskets in transactions with financial firms that are authorized to purchase or redeem Shares with the Trust (each, an “Authorized Participant”). In the case of In-Kind Creations and In-Kind Redemptions, an Authorized Participant or an Authorized Participant’s designee (“Authorized Participant Designee”) deposits Avalanche directly with the Trust or receives Avalanche directly from the Trust. Shares initially comprising the same Basket but offered by the Authorized Participants to the public at different times may have different offering prices that 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. Authorized Participants must pay the Transfer Agent a non-refundable fee for each order they place to create or redeem one or more Baskets. The transaction fee may be waived, reduced, increased or otherwise changed by the Sponsor in its sole discretion. Authorized Participants who make deposits with the Trust in exchange for Baskets receive no fees, commissions or other form of compensation or inducement of any kind from either the Trust or the Sponsor, and no such person has any obligation or responsibility to the Sponsor or the Trust to effect any sale or resale of Shares.

Each Authorized Participant is required to be registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a member in good standing with FINRA, or exempt from being or otherwise not required to be licensed as a broker-dealer or a member of FINRA, and is qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions where the nature of its business so requires. Certain Authorized Participants may also be regulated under federal and state banking laws and regulations. Each Authorized Participant has its own set of rules and procedures, internal controls and information barriers as it determines is appropriate in light of its own regulatory regime.

The Transfer Agent will facilitate the settlement of Shares in response to the placement of creation orders and redemption orders from Authorized Participants. The Trust has entered into the Cash Custody Agreement with BNY Mellon under which BNY Mellon acts as custodian of the Trust’s cash and cash equivalents. The Trust only creates or redeems its Shares at NAV.

Receivable for In-Kind Creations or payable for In-Kind Redemptions, as may be disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, represents the value of Avalanche covered by contractually binding orders for the creation, or redemption of Shares where the Avalanche has not yet been transferred to or out of the Trust's account.

6. Risks and Uncertainties

Substantially all the Trust’s assets are holdings of Avalanche, which creates a concentration risk associated with fluctuations in the price of Avalanche. Accordingly, a decline in the price of Avalanche will have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares of the Trust. The trading prices of Avalanche have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate significantly. Extreme volatility in the future, including substantial, sustained, or rapid declines in the trading prices of Avalanche, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares and the Shares could lose all or substantially all of their value. Factors adversely impacting the value of Avalanche and the Shares may include an increase in the global Avalanche supply or a decrease in global Avalanche demand; market conditions of, and overall sentiment towards, the crypto assets and blockchain technology industry; trading activity on crypto asset exchanges, which, in many cases, are largely unregulated or may be subject to manipulation; the adoption of Avalanche as a

medium of exchange, store-of-value or other consumptive asset and the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the Avalanche network, and their ability to meet user demands; manipulative trading activity on crypto asset exchanges, which, in many cases, are largely unregulated; and forks in the Avalanche network, among other things.

Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC serves as the Trust’s custodian for Avalanche for which qualified custody is available (the “Avalanche Custodian”). The Avalanche Custodian is subject to change in the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Temporary differences in the quantity of Avalanche held by the Avalanche Custodian from the amounts reflected in the financial statements may occur. These differences are due to pending settlement of Avalanche trades with the Avalanche Custodian, which generally occurs within two business days of the trade date.

Payable for Avalanche purchased represents the quantity of Avalanche purchased for the creation of Shares where the Avalanche has not yet settled.

Calculated using average Shares outstanding.

Because of the timing of subscriptions and redemptions in relation to fluctuating market values, the amount shown may not agree with the change in aggregate gains and losses.

Total return is calculated based on the change in Principal Market NAV during the reporting period. An individual shareholder’s total return and ratios may vary from the above total return and ratios based on the timing of Share transactions from the Trust. Total return is not annualized.

Annualized.

For the one-month period starting on April 15, 2026, the day the Trust began accruing expenses, the Sponsor waived the entire Sponsor Fee on the first $500 million of Trust assets through May 14, 2026. In addition, for the same period, the Sponsor reimbursed the Trust for all Staking Expenses incurred on the first $500 million of Trust assets through May 14, 2026.

Gross and net expenses ratios include staking fees of 0.43% for the period ended June 30, 2026. Without the staking fees, the gross and net expense ratios would have been (0.34)% and (0.03)%, respectively.

8. Segment Reporting

An operating segment is defined in FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“Topic 280”), as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. Selective members of the Executive Management Committee and other senior personnel of the Sponsor act as the Trust’s CODM. The Trust represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Trust as a whole and the Trust’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its Trust Agreement, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Sponsor. The financial information in the form of the Trust’s assets, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, creations and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Trust’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Trust’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Trust’s financial statement. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities as “total assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying statement of operations.

9. Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Trust expects any risk of loss to be remote.

10. Subsequent Events

The Trust has evaluated subsequent events through August 12, 2026, the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require adjustments to or disclosure in the financial statements.

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 statement and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions the Trust believes to be reasonable. The Trust’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the Federal securities laws, the Trust and the Sponsor undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or the risks, uncertainties or other factors described in this Quarterly Report, as a result of new information, future events or changed circumstances or for any other reason after the date of this Quarterly Report.

Trust Overview

The Trust is an exchange-traded product that issues common shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) that are listed on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) under the ticker symbol “BAVA.” The Trust’s primary investment objective is to seek to provide exposure to the value of Avalanche held by the Trust, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations and other liabilities. The Trust’s secondary investment objective is to seek to derive additional Avalanche through staking. In seeking to achieve its primary investment objective, the Trust will hold Avalanche and establish its net asset value (“NAV”) by reference to the CME CF Avalanche–Dollar Reference Rate - New York Variant (the “Pricing Benchmark”). The Trust is sponsored and managed by Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Sponsor”).

The net assets of the Trust and its Shares are valued on a daily basis with reference to the Pricing Benchmark, a standardized reference rate published by CF Benchmarks Ltd. (the “Benchmark Provider”) that is designed to reflect the performance of Avalanche in U.S. dollars. The Pricing Benchmark is calculated by the Benchmark Provider based on an aggregation of executed trade flow of major Avalanche trading platforms (“Constituent Platforms”). The Pricing Benchmark is calculated as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (“ET”).

Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC (“Coinbase Custody” or the “Avalanche Custodian”) serves as the custodian for the Trust’s Avalanche holdings and is responsible for the secure safekeeping of the Trust’s Avalanche pursuant to a custody agreement (the “Avalanche Custody Agreement”). Coinbase Custody was appointed by the Sponsor and is tasked with establishing and maintaining segregated accounts to hold the Trust’s Avalanche (the “Trust Avalanche Accounts”). The Avalanche Custodian is chartered as a New York State limited liability trust company that provides custody services for digital assets. The Avalanche Custodian is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) but carries insurance provided by private insurance carriers.

One or more of the Trust Avalanche Accounts, designated as the “Trust Staking Account(s),” permits the Avalanche held therein to be staked pursuant to the Trust’s secondary investment objective. In consideration for permitting its Avalanche to be held in the Trust Staking Account(s), the Trust will receive a portion of the additional Avalanche earned through the staking. The Sponsor will select one or more trusted staking agents (the “Staking Agents”). Such Staking Agents operate the validators to which the Trust’s Avalanche has been delegated for staking.

Avalanche is a digital asset. Like all digital assets, buying, holding and selling Avalanche is very different from buying, holding and selling more conventional investments like stocks and bonds. Stocks represent ownership in a company, entitling shareholders to a portion of the company’s profits. Bonds are debt instruments issued by corporations or governments, where the bondholder is a creditor to the issuer that is generally entitled to a stream of income payments. Ownership of stocks and bonds is typically recorded through a centralized system managed by brokers, custodians or clearinghouses. Ownership of Avalanche does not entitle its holders to any portion of a company’s profits or any stream of income payments. Avalanche is a decentralized digital asset and ownership of it is reflected on a decentralized ledger.

The Trust provides investors with the opportunity to access the market for Avalanche through a traditional brokerage account without the potential barriers to entry or risks involved with acquiring and holding Avalanche directly. The Trust will not use derivatives that could subject the Trust to additional counterparty and credit risks. The Sponsor believes that the design of the Trust will enable certain investors to more effectively and efficiently implement strategic and tactical asset allocation strategies that use Avalanche by investing in the Shares rather than purchasing, holding and trading Avalanche directly.

1 Net assets in the above table are calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP based on the principal market price for Avalanche that the Trust considered its principal market, as of 4:00 p.m. ET on the valuation date.

During the period from April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2026, the Trust's net assets increased from $200 on April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) to $16,673,620 on June 30, 2026. The increase in the Trust's net assets resulted primarily from additions of approximately 2,737,243 Avalanche with a value of $25,946,396 in connection with Share creations, and approximately 16,372 Avalanche received from staking rewards, with a value of $136,941 during the period. Additions were partially offset by dispositions of approximately (413) Avalanche to pay Sponsor Fee, and approximately (214,634) Avalanche for the redemption of Shares, with a value of $(2,107,403) during the period.

Net investment income for the period April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2026 was $128,525, which included income from Staking Rewards of $147,423 and net expenses of $18,898. Total expenses for the period ended June 30, 2026 were $31,937, which included $14,246 in Sponsor Fee and $17,691 in Staking Fees. For the one-month period starting on April 15, 2026, the day the Trust began accruing expenses, the Sponsor waived the entire Sponsor Fee on the first $500 million of Trust assets through May 14, 2026. In addition, for the same period, the Sponsor reimbursed the Trust for all Staking Expenses incurred on the first $1 billion of Trust assets through May 14, 2026. For the period from April 15, 2026 through May 14, 2026, the Trust waived $5,830 in Sponsor Fee and was reimbursed $7,209 in Staking Fees.

Net realized and change in unrealized loss on investment in Avalanche for the period April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2026 was $(7,297,543), which included a realized loss of $(83) on the transfer of Avalanche to pay the Sponsor Fee, a realized loss of $(1,026) on the sale of Avalanche to meet redemptions, a realized gain of $179 on the transfer of Avalanche for staking activities, and a change in unrealized depreciation on investment in Avalanche of $(7,296,613). Net realized and change in unrealized loss on investment in Avalanche for the period resulted primarily from Avalanche price depreciation from $9.32 on April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) to $6.57 on June 30, 2026. Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $(7,169,018), which consisted of the net realized and unrealized loss on investment in Avalanche and net investment income of $128,525.

Net Assets

As of June 30, 2026*, the Trust held a net closing balance of 2,538,567.9222 Avalanche with a total market value of $16,635,489 based on the CME CF Avalanche-Dollar Reference Rate - New York Variant (“AVAXUSD_NY”) price of $6.55 used to determine the Trust's NAV. The total market value of the Trust's Avalanche held was $16,678,391 based on the price of Avalanche (Lukka Prime Rate) in the principal market (Coinbase) of $6.57, used to determine the Trust's Principal Market NAV.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Trust agreed to pay the unitary Sponsor Fee of 0.34% per annum of the Trust’s Avalanche holdings. For a 1-month period commencing on the day the Shares are initially listed on the Exchange, the Sponsor has agreed to waive the entire Sponsor Fee on the first $500 million of Trust assets. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust is expected to be the Sponsor Fee. In exchange for

the Sponsor Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume and pay the normal operating expenses of the Trust, which include the Trustee’s monthly fee and out-of-pocket expenses, the fees of the Trust’s regular service providers (Cash Custodian, Avalanche Custodian, Prime Execution Agent, Marketing Agent, Transfer Agent and Administrator), exchange listing fees, tax reporting fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and up to $500,000 per annum in ordinary legal fees and expenses. The Sponsor may determine in its sole discretion to assume legal fees and expenses of the Trust in excess of $500,000 per annum. The Sponsor will also pay the costs of the Trust’s organization.

The Trust may incur certain extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not assumed by the Sponsor, including, but not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, any applicable brokerage commissions, financing fees, 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 or the Shareholders (including, for example, in connection with any fork of the Avalanche Network, any Incidental Rights (as defined below) and any IR Asset (as defined below)), any indemnification of the Cash Custodian, Avalanche Custodian, Prime Execution Agent, Transfer Agent, Administrator 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.

The Trust does not hold a cash balance except in connection with the creation and redemption of Baskets (blocks of 10,000 Shares) or to pay expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. To pay for expenses not assumed by the Sponsor that are denominated in U.S. dollars, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, may sell the Trust’s Avalanche as necessary to pay such expenses. The cash proceeds of the sale will be sent to the Sponsor, which will use such proceeds to pay the expenses. Any remaining cash will be distributed back to the Cash Custodian. The Sponsor expects that the Trust will have an immaterial amount of cash flow from its operations and that its cash balance will be insignificant at the end of each reporting period. The Trust’s only sources of cash are proceeds from the sale of Baskets and Avalanche. The Trust will not borrow to meet liquidity needs.

On April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations), the Trust began staking its Avalanche pursuant to staking arrangements with the Staking Agent and earns Staking Rewards in the form of additional Avalanche. The amount of Staking Rewards received by the Trust is influenced by factors including Avalanche Network conditions, protocol-level reward rates, the amount of Avalanche held by the Trust and the portion of the Trust’s Avalanche that is staked, and the Trust does not expect Staking Rewards to be earned at a consistent rate. Staking also introduces operational and liquidity considerations, including that staked Avalanche may be inaccessible for a period of time required to un-stake and withdraw Avalanche under Avalanche Network protocols and the Trust’s dependence on its Staking Agent for the execution of staking activities.

Pursuant to the Trust’s staking arrangements and the Trust Agreement, a portion of gross Staking Rewards is allocated among the Staking Agent and the Sponsor (the Sponsor’s “Staking Fee”), with the remainder retained by the Trust. Staking Rewards retained by the Trust increases the Trust’s Avalanche holdings, while distributions or sales of Avalanche reduce the Trust’s Avalanche holdings. The Trust may distribute Staking Rewards (in Avalanche or cash from the sale of Avalanche) to shareholders at the Sponsor’s discretion and subject to the Trust Agreement.

Under normal circumstances, the Sponsor anticipates that it will engage in staking with respect to all of the Trust’s Avalanche, except for Avalanche held in the Liquidity Reserve and pursuant to other short-term and temporary exigencies. On the Avalanche Network, the staking period is fixed in advance and ranges from a minimum of two weeks to a maximum of one year and cannot be unstaked prior to the conclusion of the chosen staking period.

Accordingly, the Trust intends to maintain a Liquidity Reserve composed of an amount of unstaked Avalanche that is freely transferable that will be used to satisfy Redemption Orders. However, there may be circumstances pursuant to which an insufficient amount of Avalanche comprising the Liquidity Reserve, impairing the Trust’s ability to satisfy Redemption Order(s) that it receives on a given day. This means that the Trust will not be able to make redemption distributions on the business day following a properly submitted and accepted Redemption Order, without taking additional action. This risk is especially heightened during periods of heightened market volatility. A circumstance where the Trust was unable to satisfy Redemption Orders could have significant negative consequences for the Trust. Disruptions to the Trust’s creation and redemption mechanism could widen the bid-ask spreads for the Shares or cause Shares to trade at an increased premium or discount to NAV.

Although the Sponsor monitors and manages liquidity risk pursuant to the Liquidity Policies, there remains a possibility that Redemption Orders could exceed the unstaked Avalanche available for immediate withdrawal. In such cases, the Sponsor may delay settlement of a Redemption Order (i.e., long settle the Redemption Order) or temporarily suspend the right of redemption entirely. Monitoring and risk management procedures, while designed to mitigate such risks, cannot eliminate them entirely, particularly in the event of extreme or unforeseen market conditions, sudden spikes in Redemption Orders, or operational disruptions. There is no assurance that the Sponsor’s

Liquidity Policies will prove successful and that there may be times when the Trust may delay settlement of a Redemption Order or temporarily suspend the right of redemption entirely. While pursuant to the terms of the Authorized Participant Agreements the Trust may have the ability to defer settlement for a certain time if there are insufficient unstaked assets to meet Redemption Orders (long settlement), there can be no assurance that this will be sufficient to meet all Redemption Orders or that the Trust’s contractual long settlement right will be adequate to meet the Trust’s settlement obligation to Authorized Participants. If not, the Trust could be in default to such Authorized Participants. As a result, investors may still face delays or restrictions on redemptions if the volume of requests surpasses the Trust’s available unstaked Avalanche, or the Trust could face penalties, costs, damages, or other losses in connection with its settlement obligations to Authorized Participants, which could adversely affect the value or liquidity of, or cause losses in connection with an investment in the Shares. If Authorized Participants are unable to reliably redeem Baskets within the expected timeframe, they may decline to provide such services to the Trust, which would cause additional increases in bid-ask spreads and larger premiums and discounts. Furthermore, the Sponsor and the Trust’s service providers could face reputational and regulatory scrutiny which could ultimately have a negative impact on the Trust. Investors seeking an investment that is not subject to heightened liquidity risk should not purchase Shares.

In addition, pursuant to the Liquidity Policies, the Sponsor will seek to employ a laddered staking approach with regard to the defined staking period it selects when managing the Trust’s staked Avalanche. Under this approach, the Sponsor expects to stagger staking positions across multiple staking periods with differing maturity dates, rather than staking all the Trust’s Avalanche for a single, uniform duration. By maintaining multiple staking positions with rolling expiration dates, the Sponsor seeks to ensure that a portion of the Trust’s Avalanche holdings is periodically becoming unstaked and available to meet redemption requests, as needed.

In the event that on a given day the amount of Avalanche comprising the Liquidity Reserve is insufficient to meet Redemption Orders received by the Trust, pursuant to the Liquidity Policies, the Trust may utilize a Contingent Liquidity Arrangement. Under such an arrangement, the Trust may enter into a credit facility that allows the Trust to borrow cash or Avalanche to meet its current obligations. If the Trust draws cash or Avalanche under any such credit facility, the Trust may incur additional expenses in the form of interest on its indebtedness or other costs of borrowing. In addition, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, may seek to engage in a transaction with a third-party pursuant to which the Trust will exchange staked Avalanche (that will be freely transferable upon completion of the unstake period) (“Moderately Liquid Avalanche”) for Avalanche that is unstaked and freely transferable (“Highly Liquid Avalanche”). The Highly Liquid Avalanche that the Trust receives in this transaction will be used to satisfy the applicable Redemption Orders. The amount of Avalanche sold by the Trust under such circumstances will be the minimum necessary to satisfy the applicable Redemption Orders. Such trades are expected to occur at a spread, requiring the Trust to deliver a greater quantity of Moderately Liquid Avalanche in order to receive an equivalent amount of Highly Liquid Avalanche.

The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its liquidity needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

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.

Sponsor Fee payments made to the Sponsor are calculated at an annual rate of 0.34% of the Trust's Avalanche holdings. As such, the Sponsor cannot anticipate the payment amounts that will be required under these arrangements for future periods since the Trust's holdings of Avalanche will vary in the normal course of business operations.

No material changes have occurred during the period from April 14, 2026 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2026.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements relies on estimates and assumptions that impact the Trust’s financial position and results of operations. These estimates and assumptions affect the Trust’s application of accounting policies. Below is a summary of accounting policies on cash, investment

valuation and investment company considerations. There were no material estimates involving a significant level of estimation uncertainty that had or are reasonably likely to have had a material impact on the Trust’s financial condition used in the preparation of the financial statements. In addition, please refer to Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in this report for further discussion of the Trust’s accounting policies.

Cash

Cash represents cash deposits held at financial institutions and Digital Asset exchanges. 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.

Staked Avalanche and Staking Rewards

Avalanche held by the Trust will be bonded through Attestant, Ltd., an affiliate of the Sponsor (the "Staking Agent"), to the Avalanche network ("staked") for purposes of validating a node or multiple nodes on the network. Avalanche staked to the Avalanche network receives network inflation and Maximum Extractable Value (“MEV”) rewards in the form of Avalanche ("Staking Rewards"). Staking Rewards are variable and will accrue to the benefit of the Trust, net of delegator fees. Avalanche Staking Rewards are measured at fair value on the date they are accrued. Under current Avalanche network protocols, Avalanche staked on the Avalanche Network is staked for a defined staking period (between two weeks and one year, depending on the staking period selected). While staked, Avalanche cannot be immediately withdrawn.

Investment Valuation - Principal Market Net Asset Value ("NAV")

In determining which of the eligible Digital Asset Markets is the Trust's principal market, the Trust reviews these criteria in the following order:

At June 30, 2026, the principal market and the principal market price for Avalanche, which is composed of the majority of the Trust’s assets as of June 30, 2026, was Coinbase with a price of $6.57.

Investment Company Considerations

The Trust is an investment company for U.S. GAAP purposes and 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 Avalanche in accordance with its classification as an investment company for accounting purposes. The Trust is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. U.S. 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.

Please refer to Note 2 to the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further discussion of the Trust’s Significant Accounting Policies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Trust maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting

Officer of the Sponsor performing functions equivalent to those a principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer of the Trust would perform if the Trust had any officers, as appropriate 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 evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation 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 in ensuring material information relating to the Trust is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Sponsor on a timely basis and ensuring the quality and timeliness of the Trust’s public disclosures with the SEC.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.

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.
