T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF 8-K

What Happened

• T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF (the Fund) filed an 8‑K on July 15, 2026 disclosing that, as of July 14, 2026, T. Rowe Price Sponsor LLC (the Sponsor) has designated a set of crypto tokens as Eligible Assets for the Fund.
• The Sponsor also entered into two agreements to supplement the Fund’s crypto trading counterparties: a Digital Asset Trading Agreement (DA Agreement) with StoneX Digital LLC (dated June 12, 2026) for principal-to-principal spot trades, and a Liquidity Provider Agreement (LP Agreement) with Virtu Financial Singapore Pte. Ltd. (VFS) (dated May 15, 2026).

Key Details

• Eligible Assets (as of July 14, 2026): bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, litecoin (LTC), DOT, Dogecoin (DOGE), HBAR, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), LINK, XLM, SHIB, SUI, HYPE and BNB.
• DA Agreement (StoneX): permits principal spot purchases/sales; StoneX disclaims liability for third‑party acts or system failures except for gross negligence or willful misconduct; mutual indemnities apply and survive termination. (Exhibit 10.1)
• LP Agreement (VFS): permits principal spot purchases/sales and limits liability for third‑party acts and system errors not maintained by VFS; includes mutual indemnities; remains effective until written termination. (Exhibit 10.2)
• Both agreements are supplemental trading/counterparty arrangements for the Fund and are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the 8‑K.

Why It Matters

• For investors, these filings show the Fund expanding its operational counterparties and clearly defining which crypto tokens the Sponsor currently considers eligible for Fund trading. The agreements enable principal-to-principal spot trading and add a named liquidity provider, which can affect execution and liquidity for the Fund’s crypto transactions.
• The liability limits and mutual indemnities in both agreements are material contractual terms: they allocate risk for third‑party failures, system issues, and legal claims, and may affect recovery options in a counterparty event. Investors should review the full agreements (Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2) if they want detailed contract language.
