Hashdex Commodities Trust Announces Liquidation of Hashdex Bitcoin ETF

What Happened Hashdex Asset Management Ltd., sponsor of the Hashdex Commodities Trust (DEFI), announced on August 3, 2026 that it authorized a plan to liquidate the Trust’s sole series, the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF (the Fund). The Sponsor filed notice with NYSE Arca to stop the Fund’s continuous offering, deregister the Fund’s shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and suspend trading.

Key Details

• Trading and creation orders: The Fund will stop accepting creation orders after August 17, 2026; trading on NYSE Arca will be suspended after the close of business on August 17, 2026.
• Liquidation date and payments: The Fund expects to liquidate assets and distribute cash proceeds to shareholders on or about August 24, 2026; shareholders of record on that date will receive cash equal to the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) as of the Liquidation Date.
• Regulatory steps: The Sponsor intends to file a post-effective amendment to terminate the offering of registered/unsold shares; Arca will file Form 25 to withdraw the listing, with delisting effective 10 days after that filing.
• Documents filed: The Form 8-K includes a Plan of Liquidation (Exhibit 10.1) and a press release (Exhibit 99.1).

Why It Matters For investors, this means the Hashdex Bitcoin ETF will cease operations soon: you can sell shares on the exchange through August 17, 2026 (brokerage fees may apply), after which the Fund will liquidate and distribute cash based on NAV. If you hold shares, consider whether to sell before trading suspends or receive the cash distribution upon liquidation; the filing sets clear dates but notes they are subject to change.
