In Kind Creations and Redemptions

On September 22, 2025, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Exchange”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an immediately effective proposed rule change (SR-NASDAQ-2025-078) to permit the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (the “Trust”) to operate in reliance on the generic listing standards under Nasdaq Rule 5711(d) (the “Generic Listing Standards”). Pursuant to this transition, the Trust may implement “in-kind” creation and redemption processes for its crypto assets in its discretion, providing an alternative to the Trust’s current cash creation and redemption processes.

The Trust will permit authorized participants (“Authorized Participants”) to submit orders to create or redeem Baskets in exchange for Trust Shares. Baskets will be created or redeemed upon the Trust’s confirmation of receipt or delivery of the appropriate amount of crypto assets to or from its account with one of the Trust’s crypto custodians. On the settlement date, the Trust will deliver or redeem Shares to or from the Authorized Participant in exchange for crypto assets received from, or delivered to, the Authorized Participant or its designated agent or client.

The Trust may also rely on Coinbase Inc., acting as prime execution agent, to facilitate the transfers between the Trust and the Authorized Participant (or its agent or client). If an in-kind order cannot be timely settled, the Authorized Participant may elect an alternative settlement method consistent with the Trust’s procedures.
