Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 18, 2025, CoinDesk Indices, Inc. (the “Index Provider”) announced a change to the Digital Asset Trading Platforms used to calculate the Index Price (the “Constituent Trading Platforms”) for Grayscale Bitcoin Cash Trust (BCH) (the “Trust”).

Effective November 18, 2025, the Index Provider removed itBit (BCH-U.S. Dollar (“USD”) trading pair) from the CoinDesk BCH CCIXber Reference Rate (the “Index”) due to the trading platform failing to meet the Index Provider’s conditions for inclusion, and did not add any Constituent Trading Platforms as part of its scheduled monthly review. As of the date of this current report, the Constituent Trading Platforms included in the Index Price are as follows:

BCH-USD Trading Pairs: Bitfinex, Bitstamp by Robinhood, Crypto.com, Gemini, Kraken, LMAX Digital, and OKX.
BCH-U.S. Dollar Coin (“USDC”) Trading Pairs: Bullish, Bybit, and Kraken.

The Index Provider may change the trading venues that are used to calculate an Index Price, or otherwise change the way in which an Index Price is calculated, at any time. For example, the Index Provider has scheduled monthly reviews, in which it may add or remove Constituent Trading Platforms that satisfy or fail the criteria described in “Item 1. Business—Overview of the BCH Industry and Market—The Index and the Index Price” in the Trust’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 2025.
