Item
1.01 - Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 24, 2026, Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF (the “Trust”) and Hashdex Asset Management Ltd., as sponsor of the
Trust (the “Sponsor”), entered into Amendment #1 (the “Amendment”) to the Authorized Participant Agreement, dated
as of January 14, 2025 (the “AP Agreement”), with Virtu Americas LLC (“Virtu”).
The
Amendment modifies the AP Agreement to permit Virtu to effectuate the creation or redemption of Creation Units through in-kind transfers
of digital assets, in addition to the existing cash creation and redemption procedures. The Amendment also replaces the Procedures Handbook

to conduct in-kind creation and redemption transactions was previously disclosed in Prospectus Supplement No. 12 dated November 12, 2025,
filed under Rule 424(b)(3) (Registration No. 333-280990).
The
foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
