Item 5.03 - Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On January 20, 2026, Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. (the “Sponsor”) caused a Certificate of Amendment to the Trust’s Certificate of Trust (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to change the name of the Trust from “Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF” to “Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF”. In addition, on January 20, 2026, the Sponsor and CSC Delaware Trust Company (the “Trustee”) entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement made conforming changes to the Fourth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement primarily to reflect the change of the Trust’s name and its underlying index.

Copies of the Certificate of Amendment and the Trust Agreement are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 - Other Events.

Change of Underlying Index

The Trust announces that, effective as of January 20, 2026 (the “Transition Date”), it will change its underlying index from the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index™ (“NCIUSS”) to the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index™ (“Index Transition” and “NCIS”, respectively).

This change follows updates made by The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the “Exchange”) on October 30, 2025, to align both indexes’ digital asset eligibility criteria with the Exchange’s generic listing standards approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). After these updates, both indexes apply substantially identical methodologies and reflect the same constituents and weightings as of the Transition Date.

The Index Transition will not result in any material change to the Trust’s investment objective, portfolio composition, or risk profile, and will primarily update the naming of the index referenced by the Trust.
