Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF filed a prospectus supplement to incorporate a Form 8-K reporting Amendment #1 to its Authorized Participant Agreement with Virtu Americas LLC, effective February 24, 2026. The Amendment permits, at Virtu’s discretion and subject to Trust acceptance, creation and redemption of Creation Units via in‑kind transfers of Digital Assets in addition to cash and replaces the Procedures Handbook to reflect updated operational rules and cut‑off/settlement mechanics.
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 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 ETF, which trades on Nasdaq under the symbol NCIQ, continues to follow a passive strategy, seeking for its net asset value to reflect daily changes in the Index, less expenses and liabilities. 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.
Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF filed a prospectus supplement that adds a new Current Report on Form 8-K. The report documents a formal name change of the trust from “Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF” to “Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF” through a Certificate of Amendment filed in Delaware and a Fifth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement.
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. The trust states that this index transition will not cause any material change to its investment objective, portfolio composition, or risk profile, and will mainly update the index name referenced by the fund.

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. The order cutoff time for creations/redemptions was modified to 3:00 p.m. ET (or the Exchange close, if earlier). 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.
