 when operating in the volatile EFP, bitcoin spot, and bitcoin future markets. Fluctuations in these markets may trigger risk mitigation procedures, leading to limitations on trading EFPs. This, in turn, hinders the Fund’s ability to execute its target allocation in spot bitcoin, potentially impacting its investment objectives. Furthermore, if the future market experiences contango, where futures prices exceed expected spot prices, the Fund may incur more substantial losses than anticipated when rolling or carrying futures positions. These unexpected outcomes can have adverse implications on the Fund’s overall performance and investment strategy. The EFP transactions, although facilitated by the infrastructure and under the regulatory oversight of the CME, a CFTC-regulated market, are executed off-exchange and may not carry the same regulatory requirements and level of oversight as on-exchange transactions.

The Bitcoin Futures Contracts listed on the CME are a relatively new type of futures contract that may be less developed than other, more established futures markets.

The Bitcoin Futures Contracts listed on the CME are a relatively new type of futures contract that may be less developed than more established futures markets (such as the futures markets for corn or wheat). Accordingly, although BTC Contracts have traded on the CME since December 2017 and MBT Contracts have traded on the CME since May 2021 and the market for exchange listed Bitcoin Futures Contracts has grown since inception, the market for Bitcoin Futures Contracts may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market, industry, regulatory and other changes than more established futures contracts. The liquidity of the market for BTC Contracts and MBT Contracts will depend on, among other things, the supply and demand for Bitcoin Futures Contracts, speculative interest in the market for Bitcoin Futures Contracts and the potential ability to hedge against the price of bitcoin with Bitcoin Futures Contracts.

An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks of an investment in futures contracts.

An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks of an investment in futures contracts, which are complex instruments that are often subject to a high degree of price variability. The price of Bitcoin Futures Contracts is linked to the price of bitcoin and an investment in the Fund may be riskier than other exchange-traded products that do not hold financial instruments related to bitcoin, so it may not be suitable for all investors.

Futures contracts are subject to inherent leverage risk because they are typically secured by margin deposits representing a small percentage of a futures contract’s entire market value.
