Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF 8-K

What Happened

• Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. (the Sponsor) filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 20, 2026, renaming the trust from "Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF" to "Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF." The Sponsor and CSC Delaware Trust Company (the Trustee) also executed a Fifth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement on the same date to reflect the name change and related conforming revisions.
• The trust announced an underlying index change effective January 20, 2026: the ETF will move from the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index™ (NCIUSS) to the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index™ (NCIS). This follows Nasdaq updates on October 30, 2025 that aligned both indexes’ digital-asset eligibility with the Exchange’s SEC‑approved generic listing standards.

Key Details

• Filing date / effective date: January 20, 2026 (Transition Date).
• Name change: “Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF” → “Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF.”
• Index change: NCIUSS → NCIS (Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index™).
• The Index Transition reflects substantially identical methodology, constituents and weightings as of the Transition Date and is not expected to materially change the fund’s investment objective, portfolio composition, or risk profile.

Why It Matters

• For investors, this is primarily an administrative and naming update: the ETF’s underlying index and trust documents were updated to reflect Nasdaq’s revised index naming and eligibility rules, but the filing states there will be no material change to how the fund is managed or its risk/return profile.
• Shareholders should note the effective date (Jan 20, 2026) and ticker (NCIQ) for any record-keeping or indexing references; no action by shareholders was indicated or required in the filing.
