Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current report
The Trust pays a Management Fee of 0.75% per annum of the net asset value of the Trust Estate, which includes all Crypto Assets owned by the Trust, including its investment portfolio, cash, and any contractual rights at the end of each month. In exchange for the Management Fee, the Sponsor is responsible for payment of almost all of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only material ordinary expense of the Trust during the periods covered by this Registration Statement was the Management Fee. In exchange for the Management Fee, the Sponsor has agreed to assume and pay the normal operating expenses of the Trust, which include the Trustee’s monthly fee and out-of-pocket expenses, the fees of the Trust’s regular service providers (Cash Custodian, Crypto Asset Custodians, Prime Execution Agent, Marketing Agent, Transfer Agent and Administrator), exchange listing fees, tax reporting fees, SEC registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and up to $500,000 per annum in ordinary legal fees and expenses. The Sponsor may determine in its sole discretion to assume legal fees and expenses of the Trust in excess of $500,000 per annum. The Sponsor also agreed to pay the costs of the Trust’s organization.
Current report
The Trust may incur certain extraordinary, non-recurring expenses that are not assumed by the Sponsor, including, but not limited to, taxes and governmental charges, any applicable brokerage commissions, financing fees, Crypto Asset network fees and similar transaction fees, expenses and costs of any extraordinary services performed by the Sponsor (or any other service provider) on behalf of the Trust to protect the Trust or the Shareholders (including, for example, in connection with any fork of a Crypto Asset blockchain, any Incidental Rights and any IR Asset), any indemnification of the Cash Custodian, Crypto Asset Custodians, Prime Execution Agent, Transfer Agent, Administrator or other agents, service providers or counterparties of the Trust, and extraordinary legal fees and expenses, including any legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigation, regulatory enforcement or investigation matters.

Management Fee
Previous report
In consideration for the management services to be provided to the Trust, the Sponsor will receive from the Trust a management fee (the “Management Fee”) equal to 0.75% per annum of the NAV of the Trust Estate. The “Trust Estate” means (i) all the Portfolio Crypto Assets and securities owned by or on behalf of the Trust, (ii) all other property and investments of any and all kinds held by the Trust, (iii) all proceeds from the sale of Portfolio Crypto Assets, securities, and any other property or investments held by the Trust pending use of such cash for payment of Trust Expenses or distribution to the Shareholders, and (iv) any rights of the Trust pursuant to any agreements, other than the Trust Agreement, to which the Trust is a party. Except during periods during which all or a portion of the Management Fee is being waived, the Management Fee will accrue daily and will be payable in cash or in Crypto Assets monthly. The Administrator calculates the Management Fee on a daily basis by applying a 0.75% annualized rate to the Trust Estate pursuant to the Trust’s valuation procedures. The amount of cash or Crypto Assets payable in respect of each daily accrual shall be determined by reference to the Trust’s valuation procedures.
Previous report
The NAV of the Trust is reduced each day by the amount of the Management Fee calculated each day. On or about the last day of each month, either 1) an amount of Crypto Assets is transferred from the Custodial Account to the Sponsor’s account equal to the sum of all daily Management Fees accrued for the month in U.S. dollars divided by the 4:00 p.m. ET valuation of the Trust Estate on the last day of the month or 2) the sum of the daily Management Fee accrual for the month will be paid to the Sponsor in cash. The Sponsor is responsible for paying any fees or costs associated with the transfer of Crypto Assets or cash to the Sponsor. The Sponsor, from time to time, may temporarily waive all or a portion of the Management Fee in its sole discretion. To the extent not already disclosed in the prospectus, the Sponsor may notify Shareholders of its intent to commence, or cease, waiving the Management Fee on the Trust’s website, in a prospectus supplement, through a current report on Form 8-K and/or in the Trust’s annual or quarterly reports.
Previous report
The Sponsor is responsible for paying for all ordinary administrative and overhead expenses of managing the Trust, including payment of rent, custody charges or flat rate fees for holding the Trust’s assets charged by the Custodian and customary fees and expenses of the Trustee, Administrator, and Auditor (including costs incurred for appraisal or valuation expenses associated with the preparation of the Trust’s financial statements, tax returns, and other similar reports and excluding indemnification and extraordinary costs). The Sponsor also pays for all expenses associated with the operation of the Trust, including for example, fees associated with listing of the Shares on NYSE Arca, registration with the SEC, and fees associated with retaining and maintaining the Transfer Agent. “Trading commissions” or trading fees paid to trading venues (also known as exchanges) or intermediaries (such as trading technology or Crypto Asset brokerage firms) that assist in trade execution for accessing Crypto Asset liquidity are charged to the Trust (and are not assumed by the Sponsor) and may either be included in the cost of the Crypto Assets acquired by or disposed of by the Trust or may appear as explicit costs in addition to the price of the Crypto Asset. Trading fees and commissions are charged to the Trust and may appear in the financial statements as “Transaction and other fees” in the Financial Statements’ Statement of Operations in the Expenses category or may be included in the cost of the Crypto Assets acquired by the Trust.
Previous report
There is no ceiling to the Trust’s expenses that the Sponsor will pay. However, the Sponsor retains the right to cause the Trust to pay indemnification and Extraordinary Expenses, and these Trust expenses are not covered by the Management Fee. The Trust may incur certain Extraordinary Expenses including, but not limited to, any non-customary costs and expenses including indemnification and extraordinary costs of the Administrator and Auditor, costs of any litigation or investigation involving Trust activities, any financial distress, restructuring, and indemnification expenses.
Previous report
The Sponsor, from time to time, may temporarily waive all or a portion of the Management Fee in its sole discretion. To the extent not already disclosed in the prospectus, the Sponsor may notify Shareholders of its intent to commence, or cease, waiving the Management Fee on the Trust’s website, in a prospectus supplement, through a current report on Form 8-K, and/or in the Trust’s annual or quarterly reports.
Previous report
In addition, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, agree to rebate all or a portion of the Management Fee attributable to Shares held by certain institutional investors or entities. Any such rebate will be subject to negotiation and written agreement between the Sponsor and the investor/entity on a case-by-case basis. The Sponsor is under no obligation to provide any rebates of the Management Fee. Neither the Trust nor the Trustee will be a party to any Management Fee rebate arrangements negotiated by the Sponsor.
Previous report
The Administrator and/or the Sponsor will direct the Custodian to transfer Portfolio Crypto Assets from the Custodial Account to pay the Management Fee and any other Trust expenses not assumed by the Sponsor. The costs of such transfers will be the responsibility of the Custodian. To pay the Management Fee and expenses not assumed by the Sponsor that are denominated in U.S. dollars, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, may sell the Trust’s Portfolio Crypto Assets as necessary to pay such expenses. Such sales will be undertaken pursuant to the Trust-Directed Trade Model unless no Trading Counterparty is willing or able to effectuate the trade. Transfer fees with respect to this on-chain transfer of Portfolio Crypto Assets will be paid by the Custodian. The cash proceeds of the sale will be sent to the Sponsor, which will use such proceeds to pay the expenses. Any remaining cash will be distributed back to the Cash Custodian. To the extent that the Trust must utilize the Agent Execution Model to undertake Portfolio Crypto Assets sales to pay for expenses not assumed by the Sponsor, the Prime Execution Agent, acting in an agency capacity, would conduct the sale on behalf of the Trust with third parties through its Coinbase Prime service pursuant to the Prime Execution Agreement. Transfers of Portfolio Crypto Assets from the Custodial Account to the Trust’s Trading Balance in connection with such sales are “on-chain” transactions represented on the respective Crypto Asset’s blockchain. Each delivery or sale of Portfolio Crypto Assets by the Trust to pay the Management Fee or other Trust expenses will be a taxable event to Shareholders. See “United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Investments and Valuation
Previous report
The Trust’s investments in Crypto Assets are stated at fair value. For a further discussion of the Trust’s calculations of valuation, please see “Calculation of NAV and NAV per Share” in the footnote below. Crypto Assets are generally valued using prices as reported on reputable and liquid exchanges and may utilize an average of bid and ask quotes using closing prices provided by such exchanges as of the date and time of determination ("Investment Valuation - Principal Market Net Asset Value (NAV)" below). Factors such as the recent stability of the exchange, current liquidity of the exchange, and recent price activity of an exchange will be considered in the determination of which exchanges to utilize. The time used is 4:00 pm ET which corresponds to 20:00 UTC during Daylight Savings Time and 21:00 UTC during non-Daylight Savings Time. The Sponsor’s Valuation Policy provides a listing of preferred exchanges. While some Crypto Assets are valued based on prices reported in the public markets, other Crypto Assets may be more thinly-traded or subject to irregular trading activity. Determinations on the value of certain Crypto Assets, and how to value such assets as to which limited prices or quotations are available, are based on the Sponsor’s recommendations or instructions.
Previous report
The following provides an overview of the Principal Market and the Principal Market Prices for Portfolio Crypto Assets that comprised the majority of the Trust’s assets for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.
Previous report
Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Previous report
Level 1 –Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access.
Previous report
Level 2 –Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include (a) quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset, or (d) inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Previous report
Level 3 –Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Previous report
The cost basis of the investments in Crypto Assets recorded by the Trust for financial reporting purposes are the fair values of the Crypto Assets at the time of transfer. The cost basis recorded by the Trust may differ from proceeds collected by the Authorized Participant from the sale of the corresponding Shares to investors.

The following summarizes the Trust’s assets accounted for at fair value at December 31, 2025:
Previous report
During the periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no significant transfers into or out of any levels of the fair value hierarchy.
Previous report
The Trust generally records receipt of a new Crypto Asset created due to a Hard Fork at the time the Hard Fork is effective. The Trust’s methodology for determining effectiveness of the fork is when two or more recognized exchanges quote prices for the forked Crypto Asset. Some exchanges and custodians do not honor Hard Forks or may honor Hard Forks in the future. In such cases, the Trust will record receipt of the new Crypto Asset at the time two or more recognized exchanges begin quoting prices for the asset. Although the Trust records the asset into its books and records at the time the fork is effective, as described above, the Trust’s custodian may take an extended period of time to make the forked asset available for transfer, and it may never make the forked asset available for transfer, which could lead to either the Trust holding the asset longer than it would otherwise hold the asset (if it was freely transferable), or a complete write-down in the value of the forked asset. The Trust does not allocate any of the original Crypto Asset’s cost to the new Crypto Asset and recognizes unrealized gains equal to the fair value of the new Crypto Asset received.
Previous report
There were no Hard Forks during the period that were not initially recognized but were subsequently recognized.
Previous report
The Trust intermittently receives Airdrops of new Crypto Assets. The use of Airdrops is generally to promote the launch and use of new Crypto Assets by providing a small amount of such new Crypto Assets to the private wallets or exchange accounts that support the new Crypto Asset and that hold existing related Crypto Assets. Unlike Hard Forks, airdropped Crypto Assets can have substantially different Blockchain technology that has no relation to any existing Crypto Asset, and many Airdrops may be without value. The Trust records receipt of airdropped Crypto Assets when received if there is value to the Trust in doing so. Crypto Assets received from Airdrops have no cost basis and the Trust recognizes unrealized gains equal to the fair value of the new Crypto Asset received. During the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, the Trust was eligible for a Flare (FLR) airdrop. The Airdrop was based on the Trust’s XRP holding in its custody vault as of December 12, 2020. The Trust elected to participate in the Airdrop on April 17, 2023. Other income resulting from the Airdrop was booked into the ETF's assets. At the time of the Airdrop, the result was a positive NAV increase of 0.013%, less than $0.00 NAV increase and $68,436 net asset increase to the Trust. On April 18, 2023, the Trust sold the FLR and raised USD resulting in a minor loss to the Trust. The USD was used to purchase other assets in the Trust’s portfolio, since FLR was not part of the Index of the Trust. The impact of this Airdrop can be seen within the Statement of Operations under Other income and Net realized gain (loss) from Crypto Assets.

Income Taxes
Previous report
The Trust is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself is not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, the Trust’s income and expenses “flow through” to the Shareholders, and the Administrator reports the Trust’s income, gains, losses, and deductions to the Internal Revenue Service on that basis. The Sponsor has analyzed applicable tax laws and regulations and their application to the Trust, and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability as of March 31, 2026.
Previous report
The Trust is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Trust has determined that no provision for income taxes is required and no liability for unrecognized tax benefits has been recorded. The Trust does not expect that its assessment related to unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months. However, the Trust’s conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions; compliance with U.S. federal, U.S. state, and tax laws of jurisdictions in which the Trust operates and changes in the administrative practices and precedents of the relevant authorities. The Trust is required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. As of March 31, 2026, all tax years since inception remain open for examination. There were no examinations in progress at period end.

Risks and Uncertainties
Previous report
Crypto Assets are loosely regulated and there is no central marketplace for currency exchange. Supply is determined by a computer code, not by a central bank, and prices have been extremely volatile. Crypto Asset exchanges have been closed due to fraud, failure, or security breaches. Any of the Trust’s assets that reside on an exchange that closes may be lost. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Crypto Assets with a value of approximately $0 and $0, respectively, resided on exchanges. At March 31, 2026, the Trust had a $900,188 receivable from Crypto Assets sold and a payable of $389,279 from Crypto Assets purchased. At December 31, 2025 the Trust had approximately $6,041 in cash in the Trust bank accounts. At December 31, 2025, the Trust had an $18,910,054 receivable from Crypto Assets sold and a payable of $639,400 from Crypto Assets purchased. At December 31, 2025 the Trust had approximately $14,700 in cash in the Trust bank accounts.
Previous report
Several factors may affect the price of Crypto Assets, including, but not limited to: supply and demand, investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, or future regulatory measures (if any) that restrict the trading of Crypto Assets or the use of Crypto Assets as a form of payment. There is no assurance that Crypto Assets will maintain their long-term value in terms of purchasing power in the future, or that acceptance of Crypto Asset payments by mainstream retail merchants and commercial businesses will continue to grow.
Previous report
As Crypto Assets have grown in popularity and market size, various countries and jurisdictions have begun to develop regulations governing the Crypto Assets industry. To the extent that future regulatory actions or policies limit the ability to exchange Crypto Assets or utilize them for payments, the demand for Crypto Assets will be reduced. Furthermore, regulatory actions may limit the ability of end-users to convert Crypto Assets into fiat currency (e.g., U.S. dollars) or use Crypto Assets to pay for goods and services. Such regulatory actions or policies could result in a reduction of demand, and in turn, a decline in the underlying Crypto Asset unit prices.

The Trust’s principal investment objective is to invest in a Portfolio of Crypto Assets that tracks the Index as closely as possible with certain exceptions determined by the Sponsor in its sole discretion, as described more fully in the section “Item 1. Business—Business of the Trust.” In addition, in the event the Portfolio Crypto Assets being held by the Trust present opportunities to generate returns in excess of the Index (for example, Airdrops, Emissions, forks, or similar network events) the Sponsor may also pursue these incidental opportunities on behalf of the Trust as part of the investment objective if in its sole discretion the Sponsor deems such activities to be possible and prudent. The Trust believes that it has met its principal investment objective.

As described under the heading “Management Fee” above, in exchange for the Management Fee, the Sponsor is responsible for payment of almost all of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only material ordinary expense of the Trust during the periods covered by this Registration Statement was the Management Fee. The Trust is not aware of any trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to its liquidity needs. While broader economic and market conditions, including evolving trade policies and tariffs, could impact the price of Portfolio Crypto Assets and contribute to increased market volatility, the Trust does not currently anticipate these factors will materially affect its liquidity needs. See Part I, Item 2 under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Management Fee” for additional discussion of the Trust’s fees and expenses.

The Trust intermittently receives Airdrops of new Crypto Assets. The use of Airdrops is generally to promote the launch and use of new Crypto Assets by providing a small amount of the new Crypto Assets to the private wallets or exchange accounts of holders of existing related Crypto Assets. Airdropped Crypto Assets can have substantially different Blockchain technology that has no relation to any existing Crypto Asset, and many Airdrops may be without value. The Trust will only record receipt of airdropped Crypto Assets if, when received, the airdropped Crypto Assets have value. Crypto Assets received from Airdrops have no cost basis and the Trust recognizes other income equal to the fair value of the new Crypto Asset received. There were no Airdrops recognized or unrecognized during the three month period ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025.
