21Shares Dogecoin ETF switches to FTSE pricing index
21Shares Dogecoin ETF (TDOG) has updated its prospectus to change the index used to value the Trust and to modify when the Sponsor Fee is paid.
21Shares Dogecoin ETF (TDOG) has updated its prospectus to change the index used to value the Trust and to modify when the Sponsor Fee is paid. Effective August 27, 2026, the Trust no longer uses the CF Dogecoin‑Dollar US Settlement Price Index and now tracks the FTSE Dogecoin Index as its Pricing Benchmark for NAV and NAV per Share.
The new FTSE benchmark is a 15‑second VWAP of Dogecoin‑USD prices over a 60‑minute window ending at 4:00 p.m. ET, with trade‑ and exchange‑level outlier filters and eligibility criteria for Constituent Exchanges. As of July 31, 2026, its main input venues were Bitstamp and Kraken, which together represented over 96% of Pricing Benchmark volume. Historical tables show only small differences between the prior and new benchmarks over January–July 2026, though risk factors note that methodology and venue changes can cause the Trust’s NAV to diverge from what it would have been under the prior index.
The Sponsor Fee remains 0.50% annually, calculated daily on NAV, but is now payable in Dogecoin at least quarterly in arrears instead of weekly, while the Sponsor continues to pay substantially all ordinary operating expenses from this fee.

price increases. It also means the Trust will not utilize leverage, derivatives or any similar arrangements in seeking to meet its investment
objective. The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the performance of Dogecoin, as measured by the performance of
the CF Dogecoin-Dollar US Settlement Price Index FTSE Dogecoin Index (the “Pricing Benchmark”),
as adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. The Pricing Benchmark is calculated by FTSE International
Limited CF Benchmarks Ltd.(the “Benchmark Provider” or “FTSE”) based on
an aggregation of executed trade flow of major Dogecoin trading platforms the volume weighted average price across
qualifying Dogecoin spot markets (“Constituent Exchanges”). The Pricing Benchmark is designed to track the performance
of Dogecoin in U.S. dollars. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Trust will holdholds
Dogecoin and will valuethe Trust’s administrator values
the Trust’sits Shares daily based on the Pricing Benchmark. 21Shares US LLC (the “Sponsor”)

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Overview of the Trust
The
21Shares Dogecoin ETF (the “Trust”) is an exchange-traded fund that issues common shares of beneficial interest (the “Shares”)
that trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Exchange”). The Trust’s investment objective is to seek to track the
performance of Dogecoin, as measured by the performance of the CF Dogecoin-Dollar US Settlement Price Index FTSE
Dogecoin Index (the “Pricing Benchmark”), as adjusted for the Trust’s expenses and other liabilities. The Pricing
Benchmark is calculated by CF Benchmarks Ltd. FTSE International Limited (the “Benchmark Provider”
or “FTSE”). The Pricing Benchmark is designed to track the performance of Dogecoin in U.S. dollars. The
Shares of the Trust are valued daily based on the Pricing Benchmark.
CF
Dogecoin-Dollar US Settlement Price Index
The Pricing Benchmark
The
Pricing Benchmark was introduced on April 21, 2025February 25, 2024. The Benchmark Provider is the administrator
of the Pricing Benchmark also publishes the CF Dogecoin-Dollar Spot Rate, which is a continuous measure of the U.S. dollar price
of one Dogecoin calculated once per second. The Pricing Benchmark is calculated dailyon weekdays and
on Sundays.
The
Sponsor believes that the use of the Pricing Benchmark is reflective of a reasonable valuation of the average spot price of Dogecoin
and that resistance to manipulation is a priority aim of its design methodology. The methodology: (i) takes an observation period
and divides it into equal partitions of time; (ii) then calculates the volume-weighted median of all transactions within each partition;
and (iii) the value is determined from the arithmetic mean of the volume-weighted medians, equally weighted. By employing the foregoing
steps, the Pricing Benchmark thereby seeks to ensure that transactions in Dogecoin conducted at outlying prices do not have an undue
effect on the value of a specific partition, large trades or clusters of trades transacted over a short period of time will not have
an undue influence on the index or benchmark level, as applicable, and the effect of large trades at prices that deviate from the prevailing
price are mitigated from having an undue influence on the benchmark level.
The Sponsor believes that the use of the Pricing Benchmark is reflective of a reasonable valuation of the average spot price of Dogecoin. The Sponsor has selected the Pricing Benchmark for its quality and rigor as well as its broad, well-balanced universe, which the Sponsor believes best reflects the market price of Dogecoin.
The Pricing Benchmark is determined as a 15-second volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Dogecoin closing prices in USD calculated across Constituent Exchanges over a 60-minute observation window ending at 4:00 p.m. ET. For example, the fix at 4:00 p.m. takes all prices published every 15 seconds in the observation window from 3:00:15 p.m. to 4:00:00 p.m. ET (240 observations). Executed transactions from Constituent Exchanges are used in the calculation; price quotes are not used, and prices are calculated net of any transaction costs. After conversion to USD and prior to the final volume-weighted VWAP calculation, executed trades are filtered to identify and remove outliers. Duplicate trades are first removed. At the exchange level, all executed trades for Dogecoin from the most recent 10-minute window are aggregated, a VWAP is calculated for each Constituent Exchange, and trades from any Constituent Exchange whose VWAP falls outside 1.5 standard deviations of the mean VWAP across all Constituent Exchanges are excluded. At the trade level, any individual trade with a price that falls outside 2.5 standard deviations of the mean price across the then most recent 10-minute window across the Constituent Exchanges is excluded. By employing the foregoing steps, the Pricing Benchmark thereby seeks to be a price reflection for Dogecoin in U.S. dollars.
The selection of exchanges for use in the Pricing Benchmark is based on specified criteria and eligibility standards. However, changes to the Constituent Exchanges may result in an impact on the pricing information reflected in the Pricing Benchmark. The exchanges on which market participants primarily execute transactions for Dogecoin may evolve from time to time, and the Benchmark Provider may make changes to the Constituent Exchanges comprising the Pricing Benchmark from time to time for this or other reasons. To the extent the Trust executes transactions for Dogecoin, the exchanges on which the Trust executes transactions do not impact the Constituent Exchanges comprising the Pricing Benchmark.

The Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, change either the Pricing Benchmark or Benchmark Provider without Shareholder approval. Should such a change take place, the Trust will notify the owners of the beneficial interests of Shares in a prospectus supplement or in its periodic Exchange Act reports, as applicable, and on the Sponsor’s website. Once it has actual knowledge of material changes to the Constituent Exchanges used to calculate the Pricing Benchmark, the Trust will notify the owners of the beneficial interests of Shares in a prospectus supplement or in its periodic Exchange Act reports, as applicable, and on the Sponsor’s website. Any adjustments made to the Pricing Benchmark will be published on the Benchmark Provider’s website at https://www.lseg.com/en/ftse-russell/indices/digital-asset#overview or any successor thereto. None of the information on the Benchmark Provider’s website is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.
In
addition, the Sponsor notes that an An oversight function is implemented by the Benchmark Provider in seeking to
ensure that the Pricing Benchmark is administered through codified policies for Pricing Benchmark integrity, which include a conflicts
conflict of interest policy, a control framework, an accountability framework, and an input data policy. It is
also subject to the UK Benchmarks Regulation (“BMR”), compliance with which regulations has been subject to a Limited Assurance
Audit under the ISAE 3000 standards of September 12, 2022 These policies are subject to regular review at least once a

pursuant to which the Trust is entitled to use the Pricing Benchmark pursuant to a sub-licensing arrangement with
as a permitted affiliate of the Sponsor. As the Index is calculated as a price return, itThe Pricing
Benchmark currently does not track airdrops involving Dogecoin. Accordingly, the Trust willdoes
not participate in airdrops, as further described below in “Risk factors — The inability to recognize the economic benefit
of a ‘fork’ or an ‘airdrop’ could adversely impact an investment in the Trust.”

The
selection of exchanges for use in the Pricing Benchmark is based on the accessible venues where execution transactions for Dogecoin will
occur. The exchanges on which market participants primarily execute transactions for Dogecoin may evolve from time to time, and the Benchmark
Provider may make changes to the Constituent Exchanges comprising the Pricing Benchmark from time to time for this or other reasons.
To the extent the Trust executes transactions for Dogecoin, the exchanges on which the Trust executes transactions do not impact the
Constituent Exchanges comprising the Pricing Benchmark. Although Constituent Exchanges are selected for inclusion within the Pricing
Benchmark in accordance with specified criteria and eligibility standards, changes to the Constituent Exchanges may result in an impact
on the pricing information reflected in the Pricing Benchmark. Once it has actual knowledge of material changes to the Constituent Exchanges
used to calculate the Pricing Benchmark, the Trust will notify the owners of the beneficial interests of Shares in a prospectus supplement
or in its periodic Exchange Act reports, as applicable, and on the Sponsor’s website.

a change take place, the Trust will notify the owners of the beneficial interests of Shares in a prospectus supplement or in its periodic
Exchange Act reports, as applicable, and on the Sponsor’s website.
The
intra-day levels and closing levels of the Pricing Benchmark are published by the Benchmark Provider, and the closing NAV is published

The Trust’s Fees and Expenses
The
Sponsor Fee will accrue daily and will be payable in Dogecoin weekly at least quarterly in arrears. The
Administrator will calculate the Sponsor Fee on a daily basis by applying a 0.50% annualized rate to the Trust’s NAV and the amount
of Dogecoin payable in respect of each daily accrual shall be determined by reference to the Pricing Benchmark. The Sponsor has agreed
to pay all operating expenses (except for litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) out of the Sponsor Fee. Operating expenses
assumed by the Sponsor include (i) fees and other payments to the Service Provider (the “Service Provider Fees”), (ii)
the fee payable to the Marketing Agent for services it provides to the Trust (the “Marketing Fee”), (iii) fees to the
Administrator, if any, (iv) fees to the Dogecoin Custodians, (v) fees to the Transfer Agent, (vi) fees to the Trustee,
(vii) the fees and expenses related to any future listing, trading or quotation of the Shares on any listing exchange or quotation
system (including legal, marketing and audit fees and expenses), (viii) ordinary course legal fees and expenses but not litigation-related
expenses, (ix) audit fees, (x) regulatory fees, including, if applicable, any fees relating to the registration of the Shares
under the 1933 Act or the Exchange Act, (xi) printing and mailing costs, (xii) costs of maintaining the Sponsor’s
website and (xiii) applicable license fees (each, a “Sponsor-paid Expense,” and together, the “Sponsor-paid Expenses”),
provided that any expense that qualifies as an Additional Trust Expense will be deemed to be an Additional Trust Expense and not a Sponsor-paid
Expense. In the Sponsor’s sole discretion, all or any portion of a Sponsor-paid Expense may be redesignated as an Additional
Trust Expense. The Trust will be responsible for Dogecoin-related on-chain transaction fees associated with creation and redemption transactions
and transactions with the Prime Broker, and the Sponsor will assume such expense of the Trust in consideration for the Sponsor Fee.
There is currently no predetermined cap on the aggregate amount of Sponsor-paid expenses. Should the Trust implement a predetermined
cap on aggregate Sponsor-paid expenses, the Trust will notify the owners of the beneficial interests of Shares in a prospectus supplement
or in its periodic Exchange Act reports, as applicable, and on the Sponsor’s website.

RISK FACTORS
Risks Associated with the Pricing Benchmark and Pricing Benchmark Pricing
The change in the Trust’s Pricing Benchmark from the CF Dogecoin-Dollar US Settlement Price Index to the FTSE Dogecoin Index may adversely affect the Trust’s NAV, the market price of the Shares and an investment in the Trust.
The Trust has terminated its licensing agreement with CF Benchmarks Ltd. (the “Prior Benchmark Provider”) relating to the Prior Pricing Benchmark and entered into a new licensing agreement with FTSE relating to the Pricing Benchmark, which now serves as the “Pricing Benchmark” for purposes of calculating the Trust’s NAV. The change in Pricing Benchmark involves differences in calculation methodology, constituent exchange composition, and pricing inputs that may cause the Trust’s NAV to differ from what it would have been under the Prior Pricing Benchmark, and investors should be aware of the following risks in connection with this transition.
The Pricing Benchmark is determined as a 15-second VWAP of Dogecoin closing prices in USD calculated across the Constituent Exchanges over a 60-minute observation window ending at 4:00 p.m. ET, and it applies specific trade-level and exchange-level filtering and outlier-removal steps as part of its methodology. The Prior Pricing Benchmark used a different calculation methodology, a different set of contributing platforms, and different weighting and filtering conventions. As a result of these methodological differences, there is no assurance that the Pricing Benchmark will produce the same Dogecoin price as the Prior Pricing Benchmark at any given time, and differences between the two may be material. To the extent the Pricing Benchmark produces a materially different Dogecoin price than the Prior Pricing Benchmark would have produced on the same day, the Trust’s NAV calculated under the Pricing Benchmark may be higher or lower than the NAV that would have been calculated under the Prior Pricing Benchmark.
The Pricing Benchmark is based on pricing information from a set of qualifying Dogecoin spot markets referred to as the “Constituent Exchanges.” The Constituent Exchanges used by the Pricing Benchmark differ from the contributing platforms used by the Prior Pricing Benchmark. While each of the Constituent Exchanges is subject to a range of federal and state laws regarding various aspects of their functioning, none of the Constituent Exchanges are currently registered with the SEC as a national securities exchange, broker-dealer or clearing agency. Certain of the Constituent Exchanges are headquartered outside of the United States and may be subject to less regulatory oversight than U.S.-regulated venues. The concentration of pricing volume in any one or more Constituent Exchanges means that the Trust’s NAV may be more susceptible to price anomalies, technological failures, regulatory actions, or market disruptions affecting those exchanges. Because the Pricing Benchmark relies on price data from third-party Dogecoin spot markets that are not registered with or supervised by the SEC or CFTC and whose inputs may be subject to technological error, manipulative activity or fraudulent reporting, the Dogecoin price reflected by the Pricing Benchmark (and therefore the Trust’s NAV) could be adversely affected.
During the period immediately following the transition from the Prior Pricing Benchmark to the Pricing Benchmark the Trust’s NAV may reflect pricing that differs from market expectations or historical patterns based on the Prior Pricing Benchmark. Investors who purchased Shares when the Trust used the Prior Pricing Benchmark and who continue to hold Shares following the transition should be aware that the Pricing Benchmark may reflect a different view of Dogecoin’s price than the Prior Pricing Benchmark. There can be no assurance that any transition period will be free from pricing discrepancies, NAV calculation errors or other disruptions resulting from the change in Pricing Benchmark. To the extent market prices differ materially from the Pricing Benchmark price, investors may lose confidence in the Shares’ ability to track the market price of Dogecoin, which could adversely affect the value of the Shares.
The Pricing Benchmark has a limited history.
The
Pricing Benchmark was developed by the Benchmark Provider and has a limited performance history. The Pricing Benchmark was first
introduced on has only been in operation since April 21, 2025February 25, 2024, and the Pricing
Benchmark has only featured its current roster of Constituent Exchanges since August 30, 2025 February 25, 2024.
A longer history of actual performance through various economic and market conditions would provide greater and more reliable information
for an investor to assess the Pricing Benchmark’s performance. The Benchmark Provider has substantial discretion at any time to
change the methodology used to calculate the Pricing Benchmark, including the spot markets that contribute prices to the Trust’s
NAV. The Benchmark Provider does not have any obligation to take the needs of the Trust, the Trust’s Shareholders, or anyone
else into consideration in connection with such changes. There is no guarantee that the methodology currently used in calculating the
Pricing Benchmark will appropriately track the price of Dogecoin in the future. The Benchmark Provider has no obligation to take the
needs of the Trust or the Shareholders into consideration in determining, composing, or calculating the Pricing Benchmark.

THE TRUST AND DOGECOIN PRICES
Use
of the CF FTSE Dogecoin Index—Dollar US Settlement Price Index
The
net assets of the Trust and its Shares are valued on a daily basis with reference to the CF Dogecoin-Dollar US Settlement Price
IndexFTSE Dogecoin Index, the Pricing Benchmark, a standardized reference rate published by CF Benchmarks
Ltd.FTSE International Limited, the Benchmark Provider, that is designed to track the performance of Dogecoin
in U.S. dollars. The Pricing Benchmark is calculated daily and aggregates the notional value of Dogecoin trading activity across
major Dogecoin spot exchangeson each weekday and on Sundays between 3:00:15 p.m. and 4:00:00 p.m. ET. The Sponsor believes
that the use of the Pricing Benchmark is reflective of a reasonable valuation of the average spot price of Dogecoin. The Sponsor has
selected the Pricing Benchmark for its quality and rigor as well as its broad, well-balanced universe, which the Sponsor believes best
reflects the market price of Dogecoin. The Benchmark Provider is the administrator of the Pricing Benchmark. The Trust
also uses the Pricing Benchmark to calculate its NAV, which is the aggregate U.S. Dollar value of Dogecoin in the Trust, based on the
Pricing Benchmark, less its liabilities and expenses. “NAV per Share” is calculated by dividing NAV by the number of Shares
currently outstanding. NAV and NAV per Share are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. NAV is not intended to be a substitute
for the Trust’s Principal Market NAV calculated in accordance with GAAP, and NAV per Share is not intended to be a substitute for
the Trust’s Principal Market NAV per Share calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The Pricing Benchmark is determined as a 15-second volume-weighted average price VWAP of Dogecoin closing prices in USD calculated across Constituent Exchanges over a 60-minute observation window ending at 4:00 p.m. ET. For example, the fix at 4:00 p.m. takes all prices published every 15 seconds in the observation window from 3:00:15 p.m. to 4:00:00 p.m. ET (240 observations). Executed transactions from Constituent Exchanges are used in the calculation; price quotes are not used, and prices are calculated net of any transaction costs. After conversion to USD and prior to the final volume-weighted VWAP calculation, executed trades are filtered to identify and remove outliers. Duplicate trades are first removed. At the exchange level, all executed trades for Dogecoin from the most recent 10-minute window are aggregated, a VWAP is calculated for each Constituent Exchange, and trades from any Constituent Exchange whose VWAP falls outside 1.5 standard deviations of the mean VWAP across all Constituent Exchanges are excluded. At the trade level, any individual trade with a price that falls outside 2.5 standard deviations of the mean price across the then most recent 10-minute window across the Constituent Exchanges is excluded.
Exchanges are eligible for inclusion in the Pricing Benchmark as Constituent Exchanges if they qualify as either Watchlist or Participating Exchanges under the Benchmark Provider’s exchange vetting methodology. Watchlist Exchanges must, among other things: (i) have a domicile that does not restrict capital trading by foreign or international investors; (ii) be managed by companies with easily available and verified biographical information on their executive leadership team; (iii) maintain a minimum average daily reported volume of $5,000,000 USD over the six-month period leading up to each quarterly review; (iv) operate as a centralized spot exchange facilitating spot delivery transactions of underlying digital assets; and (v) provide continuous trade data including asset pair, price, volume and accurate timestamp for each trade. Watchlist Exchanges must also pass comprehensive data science tests during each of the previous two quarters demonstrating that trading follows natural buy and sell patterns and occurs at natural and expected lot levels. Participating Exchanges must satisfy all Watchlist criteria and additionally must: (i) operate within the laws of their domiciled country and hold all relevant licensing and registrations; (ii) differentiate users based on geolocation; (iii) have complied with regulatory authorities for requests for information; enforce KYC and AML controls requiring verification of a user’s name, email address, phone number, government-issued identification and bank account; not appear on any third-party sanctions lists; have no founded accusations of fraud or criminal charges against the exchange or its leadership; have experienced no meaningful security lapse or breach in the last 12 months resulting in loss of client or exchange funds exceeding 1.0% of total holdings; and have experienced no significant downtime, defined as more than 24 cumulative hours in any one quarter.
As of July 31, 2026, the Constituent Exchanges included in the Pricing Benchmark were Bitstamp, Kraken, Bitfinex, Gemini and LMAX. As of July 31, 2026, Bitstamp made up 49.967%, Kraken made up 46.453%, Bitfinex made up 1.716% and Gemini made up 1.410%, with LMAX holding the remaining 0.453% of the market share by trading volume of the Pricing Benchmark. For the three-month period ending July 31, 2026, Bitstamp had a pricing volume of $494,063,724.33, Kraken had a pricing volume of $459,317,776.70, Bitfinex had a pricing volume of $16,969,334.61, Gemini had a pricing volume of $13,946,248.01, and LMAX had a pricing volume of $4,475,951.29.

While each of the Constituent Exchanges is subject to a range of federal and state laws regarding various aspects of their functioning, none of the Constituent Exchanges are currently registered with the SEC as a national securities exchange, broker dealer or clearing agency. Further information regarding the domicile, regulation and legal compliance of the Constituent Exchanges may be found, where available, on the websites for such Constituent Exchanges and public registers for compliance with local regulations, among other places.
An oversight function is implemented by the Pricing Benchmark in seeking to ensure that the Pricing Benchmark is administered through codified policies for Pricing Benchmark integrity, which include a conflict of interest policy, a control framework, an accountability framework, and an input data policy. These policies are subject to regular review at least once a year by FTSE, with feedback considered by FTSE’s Governance Board before approval is granted. FTSE is authorized as a “Benchmark Administrator” and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority under the UK Benchmark Regulation.
The Sponsor holds full discretion to change either the Pricing Benchmark or the Benchmark Provider subject to proper notification to Shareholders. Shareholder approval is not required. Adjustments to the Pricing Benchmark could impact the NAV of the Trust. These adjustments may result in variations in the calculated spot price of Dogecoin, thereby affecting the valuation of the Trust’s assets and the Trust’s NAV per Share. Once it has actual knowledge of material changes to the Constituent Exchanges used to calculate the Pricing Benchmark, the Trust will notify the owners of the beneficial interests of Shares in a prospectus supplement or in its periodic reports under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and on the Sponsor’s website.

The
net assets of the Trust and its Shares are valued on a daily basis with reference to the CF Dogecoin-Dollar US Settlement Price
Index, the Pricing Benchmark, a standardized reference rate published by CF Benchmarks Ltd., the Benchmark Provider, that is designed
to track the performance of Dogecoin in U.S. dollars. The Pricing Benchmark is calculated daily and aggregates the notional value
of Dogecoin trading activity across major Dogecoin spot exchanges. The Benchmark Provider is the administrator of the Pricing Benchmark.
The Trust Administrator also uses the Pricing Benchmark to calculate itsthe Trust’s
NAV, which is the aggregate U.S. Dollar value of Dogecoin in the Trust, based on the Pricing Benchmark, less its liabilities and
expenses. “NAV per Share” is calculated by dividing NAV by the number of Shares currently outstanding. NAV and NAV per Share
are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. NAV is not intended to be a substitute for the Trust’s Principal Market
NAV calculated in accordance with GAAP, and NAV per Share is not intended to be a substitute for the Trust’s Principal Market NAV
per Share calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The
Pricing Benchmark was created to facilitate financial products based on Dogecoin and provides a USD-denominated reference rate for the
spot price of Dogecoin. The Pricing Benchmark leverages real-time prices from multiple constituent exchanges (the “Constituent
Exchanges”) to provide a representative spot price. Each Constituent Exchange is weighted proportionally to its trailing 24-hour
liquidity with adjustments for price variance and inactivity. The Pricing Benchmark is calculated based on the Relevant Transactions
of the Constituent Exchanges. Calculation steps on any given day for which the Pricing Benchmark is published are as follows: (1) all
Relevant Transactions are added to a joint list, recording the trade price and size for each transaction; (2) the list is partitioned
(i.e., trades are added to a partition) into a number of equally-sized time intervals; (3) for each partition separately, the volume-weighted
median trade price is calculated from the trade prices and sizes of all Relevant Transactions (i.e., across the Constituent Exchanges).
A volume-weighted median differs from a standard median in that a weighting factor, in this case trade size, is factored into the calculation;
and (4) the Pricing Benchmark is then given by the equally-weighted average of the volume-weighted medians of all partitions.
The
use of an equally-weighted average, as opposed to a volume-weighted average, to calculate the Pricing Benchmark results in a single large
trade or cluster of trades occurring in any one partition having only a limited effect on the Pricing Benchmark. Adjustments are made
to the calculation for delayed data, missing data and erroneous data. “Relevant Transaction” means any digital asset base
asset versus the quote asset spot trade that occurs during the TWAP Period on a Constituent Exchange in the Relevant Pair that is reported
through its Application Programming Interface (“API”) to the Benchmark Provider. “TWAP Period” means the 60 minutes
leading up to 4:00 p.m. London time. For more information on how the Benchmark Provider calculates the Pricing Benchmark, see the CF
Settlement Prices Methodology Guide available on the Benchmark Provider’s website at https://www.cfbenchmarks.com. None
of the information on the Benchmark Provider’s website is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.

While
each of the Constituent Exchanges is subject to a range of federal and state laws regarding various aspects of their functioning, neither
of the Constituent Exchanges is currently registered with the SEC as a national securities exchange, broker-dealer or clearing agency.
Further information regarding the domicile, regulation and legal compliance of the Constituent Exchanges may be found, where available,
on the websites for such Constituent Exchanges and public registers for compliance with local regulations, among other places.
An
oversight function is implemented by the Benchmark Provider in seeking to ensure that the Pricing Benchmark is administered through the
Benchmark Provider’s codified policies for Pricing Benchmark integrity. The Pricing Benchmark is administered through the Benchmark
Provider’s codified policies for Pricing Benchmark integrity, including a conflicts of interest policy, a control framework, an
accountability framework, and an input data policy. It is also subject to the UK BMR regulations, compliance with which regulations has
been subject to a Limited Assurance Audit under the ISAE 3000 standard as of September 12, 2022, which is publicly available.
The
Pricing Benchmark is subject to oversight by the CME CF Oversight Committee. The CME CF Oversight Committee shall be comprised of at
least five members, including at least: (i) two who are representatives of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (such representatives,
the “CME Members”); (ii) one who is a representative of the Benchmark Provider (“CF Member”); and (iii) two
who bring expertise and industry knowledge relating to benchmark determination, issuance and operations. The CME CF Oversight Committee
meets no less frequently than quarterly. The CME CF Oversight Committee’s Founding Charter and quarterly meeting minutes are publicly
available.
The
Sponsor believes that the use of the Pricing Benchmark is reflective of a reasonable valuation of the average spot price of Dogecoin
and that resistance to manipulation is a priority aim of its design methodology. The methodology: (i) takes an observation period
and divides it into equal partitions of time; (ii) then calculates the volume-weighted median of all transactions within each partition;
and (iii) the value is determined from the arithmetic mean of the volume-weighted medians, equally weighted. By employing the foregoing
steps, the Pricing Benchmark thereby seeks to ensure that transactions in Dogecoin conducted at outlying prices do not have an undue
effect on the value of a specific partition, large trades or clusters of trades transacted over a short period of time will not have
an undue influence on the benchmark level, and the effect of large trades at prices that deviate from the prevailing price are mitigated
from having an undue influence on the benchmark level.
The
Sponsor holds full discretion to change either the Pricing Benchmark or the Benchmark Provider subject to proper notification to shareholders.
Shareholder approval is not required. Adjustments to the Pricing Benchmark could impact the NAV of the Trust. These adjustments may result
in variations in the calculated spot price of Dogecoin, thereby affecting the valuation of the Trust’s assets and the NAV per Share.

Pricing
Benchmark data and the description of the Pricing Benchmark are based on information made publicly available by the Benchmark Provider
on its website at https://www.cfbenchmarks.com/data/indices/DOGEUSD_NYlseg.com/en/ftse-russell/indices/digital-asset#overview.
None of the information on the Benchmark Provider’s website is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.
The Sponsor has entered into a licensing agreement with the Benchmark Provider to use the Pricing Benchmark (the “Benchmark Licensing Agreement”). The Trust is entitled to use the Pricing Benchmark as a permitted affiliate of the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Benchmark Licensing Agreement, the Benchmark Provider provides each of the Sponsor, the Trust, and their affiliates a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, worldwide license to access, view and use the Pricing Benchmark to develop, create, calculate, settle, maintain or support and market the Trust. Such license has a one-year initial term and will automatically be renewed for successive one-year periods, unless terminated pursuant to its terms.
The Pricing Benchmark does not track airdrops involving Dogecoin. Accordingly, the Trust does not participate in airdrops, as further described above in “Risk Factors — The inability to recognize the economic benefit of a “fork” or an “airdrop” could adversely impact an investment in the Trust.”
The Benchmark Provider is a company incorporated and registered in England, and its principal offices are located at 10 Paternoster Square, London, EC4M 7LS, United Kingdom. The Benchmark Provider is experienced in calculating and administering digital asset indices. The Benchmark Provider is unaffiliated with the Sponsor.
Irrespective of its obligations towards the Sponsor and the Trust, the Benchmark Provider has no obligation to point out errors in the Pricing Benchmark to third parties including but not limited to investors and/or financial intermediaries of the financial instrument. Publication of the Pricing Benchmark by the Benchmark Provider neither constitutes a recommendation by the Benchmark Provider to invest capital in said financial instrument nor does it in any way represent an assurance or opinion of the Benchmark Provider with regard to any investment in this financial instrument. The Benchmark Provider is not responsible for fulfilling the legal requirements concerning the accuracy and completeness of the financial instrument’s prospectus.
Transition from the CF Dogecoin-Dollar US Settlement Price Index to the FTSE Dogecoin Index
On August 27, 2026, the Trust changed its index from the Prior Pricing Benchmark to the Pricing Benchmark. Prior to August 27, 2026, the Trust’s NAV and NAV per Share were calculated using the index price based on the Prior Pricing Benchmark. As of August 27, 2026, the Trust’s NAV and NAV per Share are calculated using the index price based on the Pricing Benchmark. Performance of the Trust prior to August 27, 2026 is therefore based on the Trust’s investment strategy to track the Prior Pricing Benchmark and may have been different had the Trust tracked the current Pricing Benchmark.
The Prior Pricing Benchmark and the Pricing Benchmark differ in certain material respects, including with respect to the Benchmark Provider, the days on which each is calculated, the price aggregation methodology employed, the manner in which the observation window is structured and partitioned, the approach to filtering outlier trades, and the criteria and processes by which constituent trading venues are selected and reviewed. These differences are described in the table below. Because the two indexes employ different methodologies and may draw on data from different constituent exchanges or platforms, there can be no assurance that the Pricing Benchmark will produce the same Dogecoin price as the Prior Pricing Benchmark at any given time, and differences between the two may be material at any given time or over any given period.

Outlier and Error Handling |
An oversight function is implemented by the Prior Benchmark Provider in seeking to ensure that the Prior Pricing Benchmark is administered through codified policies for integrity, which include a conflicts of interest policy, a control framework, an accountability framework, and an input data policy. |
After conversion to USD and prior to the final volume-weighted VWAP calculation, executed trades are filtered to identify and remove outliers. Duplicate trades are first removed. At the exchange level, all executed trades for Dogecoin from the most recent 10-minute window are aggregated, a VWAP is calculated for each Constituent Exchange, and trades from any Constituent Exchange whose VWAP falls outside 1.5 standard deviations of the mean VWAP across all Constituent Exchanges are excluded. At the trade level, any individual trade with a price that falls outside 2.5 standard deviations of the mean price across the then most recent 10-minute window across the Constituent Exchanges is excluded.

Constituent Exchange / Platform Selection |
The selection of exchanges for use in the Prior Pricing Benchmark is based on the accessible venues where execution transactions for Dogecoin will occur. |
Exchanges are eligible as Constituent Exchanges if they qualify as Watchlist or Participating Exchanges under the Benchmark Provider’s vetting methodology. Watchlist Exchange criteria include, among other things, a minimum average daily reported volume of $5,000,000 USD over the prior six-month period, operation as a centralized spot exchange, and provision of continuous trade data. Participating Exchanges must satisfy all Watchlist criteria and additionally must operate within the laws of their domiciled country, differentiate users based on geolocation, enforce KYC and AML controls, and have experienced no meaningful security lapse or breach in the last 12 months resulting in loss of client or exchange funds exceeding 1.0% of total holdings. |

A
trading venue is eligible as a “Constituent Exchange” in any of the CME CF Cryptocurrency Pricing Products if it offers a
market that facilitates the spot trading of the relevant digital asset base asset against the corresponding quote asset, including markets
where the quote asset is made fungible with Accepted Assets (the “Relevant Pair”) and makes trade data and order data available
through an API with sufficient reliability, detail and timeliness. The CME CF Oversight Committee considers a trading venue to offer
sufficiently reliable, detailed and timely trade data and order data through an API when: (i) the API for the “Constituent
Exchange” does not fall or become unavailable to a degree that impacts the integrity of the Pricing Benchmark given the frequency
of calculation; (ii) the data published is at the resolution required so that the benchmark can be calculated, with the frequency
and dissemination precision required; and (iii) the data is broadcast and available for retrieval at the required frequency (and
not negatively impacted by latency) to allow the methodologies to be applied as intended. An “Accepted Asset” means a digital
asset that is a fully reserve backed digital token, commonly referred to as a “stablecoin”, that seeks to peg its value to
that of the quote asset, where the issuer operates a 1:1 redemption facility and solely holds reserve assets that are in line with the
prevailing regulations enforced for government security money market funds in major jurisdictions such as the United States, United Kingdom
and the European Union.
Furthermore,
it must, in the opinion of the CME CF Oversight Committee, fulfill the following criteria:

The
Sponsor has selected the Pricing Benchmark for its quality and rigor as well as its broad, well-balanced universe, which the Sponsor
believes best reflects the market price of Dogecoin.
The
Sponsor has entered into a licensing agreement with the Benchmark Provider to use the Pricing Benchmark (the “Benchmark Licensing
Agreement”). The Trust is entitled to use the Pricing Benchmark pursuant to a sub-licensing arrangement with the Sponsor. Pursuant
to the Benchmark Licensing Agreement, the Benchmark Provider provides each of the Sponsor, the Trust, and their affiliates a non-exclusive,
non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, perpetual, worldwide, license to access, view and use the Pricing Benchmark to develop, create,
calculate, settle, maintain or support and market the Trust. Such license will have a one-year initial term and will automatically
be renewed for successive one-year periods, unless terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
As
the Pricing Benchmark is calculated as a price return, it does not track airdrops involving Dogecoin. Accordingly, the Trust does
not participate in airdrops, as further described above in “Risk factors — The inability to recognize the economic
benefit of an ‘airdrop’ or a ‘fork’ could adversely impact an investment in the Trust.”
