Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF outlined new agreements and governance changes to enable staking of its crypto assets. A Sixth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement authorizes participation in proof-of-stake validation protocols and creates a separate, unlisted Sponsor Share class held solely by the Sponsor.
The Sponsor Share entitles the Sponsor to Net Staking Income, with 100% of Net Staking Income up to 25 basis points of net asset value attributable to Common Shares (annualized) allocated to the Sponsor, and any excess split 40% to the Sponsor and 60% to the Trust for the benefit of Common Shareholders. Staking is expected to commence promptly, subject to operational readiness, using Coinbase Cloud Pte. Ltd. as initial Staking Services Provider. Additional agreements include an Authorized Participant Agreement with Marex Capital Markets Inc. and a Master Purchase and Sale Agreement for Digital Assets with JSCT, LLC.
Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF entered a Second Amendment to its Sponsor Agreement that permanently reduces the Sponsor’s management fee from 0.50% to 0.25% per annum of the Trust’s net asset value, effective March 16, 2026. This replaces a temporary waiver that had already lowered the effective fee to 0.25% through December 31, 2026.
The ETF, trading under ticker NCIQ on Nasdaq, tracks the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index and provides diversified exposure to seven major crypto assets, including bitcoin and ether. Hashdex, which manages approximately $1 billion in assets as of March 10, 2026, highlighted that the lower ongoing fee is intended to support long-term access to the digital assets ecosystem for advisors, institutions, and high-net-worth investors.
Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF reported leadership changes at its controlling entity, Hashdex Ltd. Effective March 5, 2026, Co-Founder Bruno Caratori was appointed Global Chief Executive Officer, while former CEO Marcelo Sampaio transitioned to Executive Chairman.
Mick McLaughlin was named U.S. CEO and will also remain Global Head of Distribution. The leadership moves occur at the Hashdex group level and the sponsor states they do not affect the management or operation of the ETF. Bruno Sousa continues as the Trust’s principal executive officer and Samir Kerbage continues as Principal Financial and Principal Accounting Officer.
Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF reported that it has amended its Authorized Participant Agreement with Virtu Americas LLC. The February 24, 2026 amendment allows Virtu to create and redeem ETF Creation Units through in-kind transfers of digital assets, alongside existing cash-based methods.
The amendment also replaces the Procedures Handbook to outline updated operational steps for both cash and in-kind transactions. The ETF’s ability to conduct in-kind creations and redemptions had previously been described in a prospectus supplement, and this agreement formally aligns Virtu’s role with those capabilities.
Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF changed its legal name and underlying index on January 20, 2026. The trust’s name was updated from “Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF” to “Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF” through a Certificate of Amendment filed in Delaware.
On the same date, the Sponsor and the Trustee entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement to make conforming changes for the new name and index reference. The underlying index changed from the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index™ (NCIUSS) to the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index™ (NCIS). The trust states that this index transition will not materially change its investment objective, portfolio composition, or risk profile and mainly updates the index name it references.
Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ) filed an 8‑K announcing two material updates. The Trust and its Sponsor extended the temporary Management Fee reduction to 0.25% per annum through December 31, 2026; the 0.50% annual Management Fee resumes afterward.
The Trust also adopted in‑kind creations and redemptions following an immediately effective Nasdaq rule change (SR‑NASDAQ‑2025‑078) enabling operation under Nasdaq Rule 5711(d) generic listing standards. Authorized Participants can create or redeem Baskets by delivering or receiving the appropriate amount of crypto assets with the Trust’s crypto custodians, with Shares settled on the trade’s settlement date. Coinbase Inc. may act as prime execution agent to facilitate transfers, and alternative settlement methods are permitted if an in‑kind order cannot be timely settled.
Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF entered into a Master Infrastructure‑as‑a‑Service Agreement with Coinbase Cloud Pte. Ltd. to support staking infrastructure and related technical services for certain eligible crypto assets held by the Trust.
The agreement runs for 24 months and automatically renews in 12‑month periods unless terminated. Coinbase Cloud will provide network participation (including staking, validating, and helping secure supported blockchains) and managed services such as upgrades, monitoring, and maintenance. Compensation is a service fee calculated as a percentage of the Trust’s gross staking rewards.
Crypto assets remain under the Trust’s designated Crypto Custodian’s control, and Coinbase Cloud cannot rehypothecate or use the assets for its own benefit. The Trust designated Coinbase Cloud as its primary provider for blockchain infrastructure. The Trust will announce when it begins staking activities at a later date.
Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF is adding Cardano (ADA) to its portfolio, effective October 1, 2025, as an eligible asset under Nasdaq’s generic listing standards approved by the SEC.
The ETF’s holdings will now include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Stellar Lumens, XRP (XRP), and Cardano (ADA). These assets are subject to quarterly rebalancing and changes in line with the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index methodology.
The sponsor will continue to adjust the fund’s holdings to replicate the index, within the restrictions of the index methodology and listing standards.
Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF filed a current report describing changes that allow the Trust to rely on new generic listing standards adopted by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and approved by the SEC. Under these standards, the ETF is now permitted to hold additional crypto assets that are constituents of the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index, instead of being limited to bitcoin and ether. As of this change, the Trust will track Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Stellar Lumens (XLM) and XRP (XRP), with holdings subject to quarterly rebalancing and future additions in line with the index methodology and eligibility rules. The Trust is also filing a prospectus supplement to update its existing Form S‑1 registration statement, and the Sponsor will continue to adjust holdings to replicate the index within the generic listing standards.
Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF reported that its sponsor and trustee entered into a Third Amended and Restated Trust Agreement on September 18, 2025. This agreement supersedes the prior Second Amended and Restated Trust Agreement.
The updated Trust Agreement is intended to reflect the changes needed for the ETF to rely on the generic listing rules applicable to its shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The filing lists the new Trust Agreement as an exhibit, but does not describe any changes to the ETF’s investment objective or operations.
