Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF filings document the regulatory record for a Delaware statutory trust whose shares of beneficial interest trade under NCIQ on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The filings describe trust agreements, certificates of trust, sponsor arrangements, authorized participant procedures, and changes to the ETF’s name and underlying index.
Recent Form 8-K disclosures cover material definitive agreements, sponsor fee amendments, cash and in-kind creation and redemption procedures, Regulation FD press releases, and service-provider arrangements for blockchain infrastructure.

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.

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.
The supplement highlights risks that limited broker‑dealer ability to support in‑kind activity may reduce arbitrage efficiency, potentially leading to premiums or discounts to NAV and wider bid/ask spreads during market stress.
