Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF is updating its benchmark so that, effective January 20, 2026, the fund’s underlying index changes from the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index (NCIUSS) to the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index (NCIS). Nasdaq previously revised both indexes’ eligibility criteria so they now use substantially identical methodologies and, as of the transition date, the same crypto asset constituents and weightings.

The Trust invests directly in index constituents, may hold limited cash for expenses, and does not use leverage, derivatives, loans, or pledges of its assets.

The filing also explains that, effective as of January 20, 2026, the ETF changed its underlying index from the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index™ (NCIUSS) to the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index™ (NCIS). According to the disclosure, both indexes now use substantially identical methodologies and have the same constituents and weightings after Nasdaq’s October 30, 2025 updates.

Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ) issued a prospectus supplement updating key operations and fees. The Trust added Fidelity Digital Asset Services, LLC as a crypto custodian alongside Coinbase Custody and BitGo, and listed additional crypto trading counterparties. It will now allow in‑kind creations and redemptions as an alternative to cash, with detailed procedures for Authorized Participants.
The Sponsor extended its temporary Management Fee reduction to 0.25% per annum through December 31, 2026, after which the fee reverts to 0.50% per annum.

A Basket remains 10,000 Shares, and as of the prospectus date a Basket requires delivery of $250,000 for cash creations.
