 with these competing products utilizing the same service providers for XRP custodial and prime brokerage services.

To the extent that exchange-traded products offering exposure to the spot XRP market or other digital assets utilize substantially the same service providers for XRP custodial and prime brokerage services, this industry concentration may result in the development of fewer other digital assets intermediaries with the reputation and operational capability to provide XRP custodial and prime brokerage services to the Trust or other competing products. This, in turn, could make it difficult for the Trust to find and appoint a replacement XRP custodian or prime broker, to the extent the Sponsor deems such action necessary.

These industry-wide adverse effects could result in a broader loss of confidence in exchange-traded products offering exposure to the spot XRP market or other digital assets, which could further impact the Trust and the value of an investment in the Shares.

However, the Prime Broker has represented to the Sponsor that no customer cash is held at Connected Trading Venues. If the Prime Broker were to experience a disruption in the Prime Broker’s access to these Connected Trading Venues, the Prime Broker’s trading services under the Prime Broker Agreement could be adversely affected to the extent that the Prime Broker is limited in its ability to execute order flow for its
