Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF 8-K

What Happened

• Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF filed a Form 8-K on March 16, 2026 reporting that Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. (the Sponsor) and the Trust entered into a Second Amendment to the Sponsor Agreement on March 13, 2026.
• The amendment reduces the Sponsor’s management fee from 0.50% to 0.25% per annum of the Trust’s net asset value, effective March 16, 2026. The Trust also issued a press release announcing the fee reduction.

Key Details

• Second Amendment executed: March 13, 2026; effective date of fee change: March 16, 2026.
• Sponsor fee reduced from 0.50% to 0.25% of net asset value (per annum).
• Parties: Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. (Sponsor) and Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF (Trust).
• Relevant filings: Second Amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K.

Why It Matters

• A lower sponsor (management) fee directly reduces the fund’s ongoing expenses, which can modestly improve net returns to ETF holders all else equal.
• The change may make the ETF more cost-competitive versus peers, but the filing reports only the fee amendment—no other operational or performance changes were disclosed.
• Investors seeking details should review the amendment (Exhibit 10.1) and the press release (Exhibit 99.1) filed with the 8-K.
