•LTC-USD Trading Pairs: Bitfinex, Bitstamp by Robinhood, Crypto.com, Gemini, Kraken, LMAX Digital, and OKX.

•LTC-U.S. Dollar Coin (“USDC”) Trading Pairs: Bullish, Bybit, Kraken, and OKX.

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.

Business—Overview of the LTC 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.
