**Summary Prospectus**

**<u>Bitwise Web3 ETF</u>**

(NYSE Arca—BWEB)

**May 1, 2026**

Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's prospectus, reports to shareholders, and other information about the Fund online at https://www.bwebetf.com. You can also get this information at no cost by calling (866) 880-7228 or by sending an email request to investors@bitwiseinvestments.com. The Fund's prospectus and statement of additional information, both dated May 1, 2026, are incorporated by reference into this summary prospectus.

**Bitwise Web3 ETF**

**Investment Objective**

The Fund seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the performance of the Bitwise Web3 Equities Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund ("Fund Shares"). **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below.**

**Annual Fund Operating Expenses** (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Management Fees** | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.85% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees** | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.00% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Other Expenses** | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.00% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses** | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.85% |

---

**Example**

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, and then sell all of your Fund Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs, whether you sell or hold your Fund Shares, would be:

***Portfolio Turnover***

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 35% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

Under normal market conditions, the Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its net assets plus borrowings in the securities comprising the Index. The Fund, using a full replication approach, attempts to reproduce, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The index provider, administrator and owner of the Index is Bitwise Index Services, LLC (the "Index Provider"). Bitwise Investment Manager, LLC serves as the Fund's investment adviser ("BIM" or the "Adviser") and Vident Advisory, LLC (d/b/a Vident Asset Management) serves as the Fund's investment sub-adviser ("Vident" or the "Sub-Adviser"). The Fund will not invest either directly or indirectly in cryptocurrencies, such as through direct holdings of cryptocurrencies (e.g. bitcoin) or indirectly through derivatives that reference cryptocurrencies (e.g. bitcoin derivatives).

The Index provides focused exposure to the equity securities of companies that are well-positioned to benefit from the emergence of Web3 and Web3 technologies ("Web3 Companies"). By seeking to track the Index pursuant to a replication methodology, the Fund intends to provide such exposure to its shareholders. The Fund will invest substantially all, but at least 80%, of its net assets plus borrowings in securities issued by Web3 Companies. The Fund defines "Web3 Companies" as those companies selected for inclusion in the Index. "Web 1.0" describes the era of decentralized, open protocols, where most online activity involved navigating to individual static webpages. "Web 2.0" describes the era of internet centralization, where most communication and commercial activity occurs on closed platforms owned by a small number of corporations that are subject to government regulations. "Web 3.0" or "Web3" imagines a future era of internet decentralization that replaces the system where a small number of companies can exert such a strong influence over internet users. Web3 refers to an evolution in the core architecture of the internet that leverages blockchain technology to make the internet more decentralized, secure and open. By providing all users the opportunity to own data and property in the digital world without relying on centralized intermediaries, Web3 provides an internet experience in which data privacy, decentralized ownership and community consensus act as key pillars of the ecosystem. However, there is no guarantee that the promise of Web3 will ever be fully realized. For more information, please see "Principal Risks" below.

The Index utilizes a rules-based security selection methodology administered with input from the Bitwise Web3 Classification Group (the "Index Classification Group"). The Index's initial starting universe is composed of all securities listed for trading on eligible securities exchanges. In general, a stock exchange will qualify as an eligible stock exchange if there is not an undue burden for U.S. investors to access and settle trades on that exchange in a timely fashion. These securities are then subjected to a number of eligibility screens based upon size, liquidity and free float. Securities with the following characteristics are removed from Index eligibility: (i) shares of companies with a minimum full market capitalization of less than $100,000,000; (ii) shares with a 3-month average daily traded value lower than $1 million; (iii) shares with a price above $50,000; and (iv) shares with a free float of less than 10%.

From the remaining pool of eligible securities, the Index Classification Group, a committee of industry experts employed by an affiliate of the Adviser, first seeks to identify those companies that will enable Web3, benefit from it, and/or see a material impact on their businesses from the growth of Web3. After such companies are identified, the Index Classification Group uses its expert knowledge, supported by information from corporate announcements and filings, public presentations, patent filings, third-party industry assessments, media coverage and scientific literature, and subject matter expert interviews, to determine the degree to which each company's primary business model, business operations and/or growth prospects rely on the growth of one or more of the Web3 themes identified in the Index methodology: Web3 Finance, Web3 Infrastructure Providers, Web3-Enabled Creator Economy, Web3-Enabled Metaverse and Digital Worlds and Web3 Development and Governance. Additional information about each theme is set forth below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. *<u>Web3 Finance</u>* : The emergence of Web3 will facilitate
digital ownership and property rights by leveraging cryptography and blockchain technology. Companies are eligible for classification
as Web3 Finance companies if they facilitate the ownership, transfer, trading, lending, or use of Web3 digital assets and cryptocurrencies
in a financial manner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. *<u>Web3 Infrastructure Providers</u>* : The emergence of Web3 will enable individuals to own their
own data and property on the internet in a decentralized manner, which will create new ways to interact with the digital world. Companies
are eligible for classification as Web3 Infrastructure Provider companies if they provide technological capabilities that will be in high
demand in a Web3-enabled world. These capabilities include privacy, computation and storage, cybersecurity, networking technology, graphical
processing, computing facilities and equipment, hashrate, application programming interfaces ("APIs"), and distributed bandwidth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. *<u>Web3-Enabled Creator Economy</u>* : The emergence of Web3 and digital ownership will empower individuals
to build businesses, brands, and services in new ways and with a more direct connection between creators and their customers. Companies
are eligible for classification as Web3-Enabled Creator Economy companies if their future growth prospects depend on helping individuals
create, promote, design, build or sell goods and services on the internet in a manner that the individual seller retains control over
the relationship with the buyer, rather than the platform retaining control over the relationship with the buyer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. *<u>Web3-Enabled Metaverse and Digital Worlds</u>* : The emergence of Web3 facilitates the growth
of open Metaverses and interconnected immersive digital worlds by allowing for interoperability and digital property rights. Companies
are eligible for classification as Web3-Enabled Metaverse and Digital Worlds companies if they will directly benefit from this growth
or participate in the design of these open and interconnected immersive digital worlds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. *<u>Web3 Development and Governance</u>* : The emergence of Web3 has created new platforms with a
new architecture wherein the community is responsible for development and governance of the platforms themselves. Companies eligible for
classification as Web3 Development and Governance companies are those that contribute to development and governance of Web3 platforms
themselves, or which provide specialized services or tools to enable individuals and other community members to do so.

 

The Index Classification Group classifies relevant companies as Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 Web3 companies pursuant to the criteria set forth below. At each quarterly rebalance, the Fund will invest at least 85% of its net assets plus borrowings in Tier 1 Web3 Companies and Tier 2 Web3 Companies. Once determined, the Index selects up to the thirty Tier 1 and Tier 2 securities with the largest modified market capitalizations, defined as follows: Tier 1 securities are assigned a modified market capitalization equal to 4x their natural market capitalization, while Tier 2 securities are assigned their natural market capitalization. The Index also selects up to ten Tier 3 securities with the largest market capitalizations and includes each as a component of the Index. 

 

*Tier 1 Companies*: Companies for which all or substantially all of their primary business models and/or growth prospects are directly linked to business activities associated with one or more of the Web3 themes.

 

*Tier 2 Companies*: Companies for which a majority of their business operations and/or growth prospects are directly linked to business activities associated with one or more of the Web3 themes.

*Tier 3 Companies:* Companies for which a material part of their business operations and/or growth prospects are directly linked to business activities associated with one or more of the Web3 themes. This group, however, will still have the majority of their business operations and/or growth prospects linked to activities outside of Web3.

The Index weights component securities pursuant to a modified market capitalization weighing methodology. At each quarterly rebalance, the Index allocates 85% of its weight to Tier 1 and Tier 2 constituents and 15% of its weight to Tier 3 constituents. Within the 85% index weight allocated to Tier 1 and Tier 2 constituents, Tier 1 and Tier 2 constituents are initially assigned a weight pursuant to their market capitalization. Tier 1 constituent weights are then modified so that they receive a weight equal to 4X their natural market capitalization weight, while Tier 2 constituents receive a weight equal to their natural market capitalization weight. The 15% index weight allocated to Tier 3 constituents is equally distributed among each Tier 3 constituent.

The Index may be comprised of securities issued by companies with small, mid or large capitalizations operating in developed or emerging market countries. For determining which countries are "emerging market countries," the Index relies upon the classifications of an unaffiliated third-party index provider.

The Index is rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly, and the Fund will make corresponding changes to its portfolio shortly after the Index changes are made public. In addition, if at any time the cumulative Index weight of Tier 1 and Tier 2 companies falls below 80% as of the close of any U.S. business day, the Index will enact an intra-quarter reweighting, and the weights of Tier 1 and Tier 2 constituents will be reset in aggregate to 85% of the portfolio.

The Fund will be concentrated in an industry or a group of industries to the extent that the Index is so concentrated. As of April 14, 2026, the Index was concentrated in companies comprising the communications services sector and information technology sector, although this may change from time to time. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a given jurisdiction or investment sector, the Fund may be exposed to the risks associated with that jurisdiction or investment sector.

The Index Provider is an affiliate of the Adviser. The Index Provider may prescribe changes to the selection criteria and other rules governing the Index and the method applied to calculate the Index, which it deems to be necessary and desirable in order to prevent material errors or to remedy, correct or supplement the Index methodology.

The Fund is classified as "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").

**Principal Risks**

As with all investments, there are certain risks of investing in the Fund. Fund Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The order of the risk factors set forth below does not indicate the significance of any particular risk factor.

 ****

***Market Risk****.* Market risk is the risk that a particular investment, or Fund Shares in general, may fall in value. Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by real or perceived adverse economic, political, and regulatory factors or market developments, changes in interest rates, disruptions to trade, impositions of tariffs and perceived trends in securities prices. Fund Shares could decline in value or underperform other investments. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, regulatory actions, political changes, diplomatic developments, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Any of such circumstances could have a materially negative impact on the value of Fund Shares, the liquidity of an investment, and may result in increased market volatility. During any such events, Fund Shares may trade at increased premiums or discounts to their net asset value, the bid/ask spread on Fund Shares may widen and the returns on investment may fluctuate.

 ****

***Emerging Technologies Risk***. The Fund invests in certain companies because of their use of emerging technologies associated with Web3. All of the risks associated with such technologies may not fully emerge until the technology is more widely used. The regulatory environment surrounding new technologies is often unclear. There is often uncertainty regarding the application of existing regulation and there can be no guarantee that new regulations will not be enacted that prohibit the use of a technology, modify its application, inhibit a technology's widespread adoption or prevent a company from realizing all of its potential benefits. Companies that initially develop or adopt a novel technology may not be able to capitalize on it and there is no assurance that a company will derive any significant revenue from it in the future. An emerging technology may constitute a small portion of a company's overall business and the success of a technology may not significantly affect the value of the equity securities issued by the company. In addition, a company's stock price may be overvalued by market participants that value the company's securities based upon expectations of a technology that are never realized.

 ****

***Asset Class Risk****.* Securities and other assets in the Index or in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes.

 ****

 ****

***Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Ecosystem Risk***. The technology relating to the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry ecosystem is new and developing and the risks associated with crypto assets may not fully emerge until the technology is widely used. Technologies utilizing cryptography are used by companies to optimize their business practices, whether by using the technology within their business or operating business lines involved in the operation of the technology. Cryptography refers to a set of techniques designed to allow for secure communication in the presence of adversarial behavior. Blockchain is a well-known example of a technology that relies on cryptography. A blockchain is comprised of unchangeable, digitally recorded data in packages called "blocks." These digitally recorded blocks of data are stored in a linear "chain." Each block in the chain contains data (e.g., a transaction), that is cryptographically connected to the previous block in the chain, ensuring all data in the overall "blockchain" has not been tampered with and remains unchanged. The cryptographic keys necessary to transact a crypto asset may be subject to theft, loss, or destruction, which could adversely affect a company's business or operations if it were dependent on such an asset. Competing platforms and technologies may be developed such that consumers or investors use an alternative to crypto assets. There may be risks posed by the lack of regulation for crypto assets and any future regulatory developments could affect the viability and expansion of the use of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies. Recently, U.S. securities regulators have brought actions against companies operating in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry ecosystem for violations of U.S. securities laws. To the extent such an action is brought against a company held by the Fund, the value of such a holding could decrease significantly. Because companies operating in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry ecosystem may operate across many national boundaries and regulatory jurisdictions, it is possible that such companies may be subject to widespread and inconsistent regulation. Blockchain and cryptocurrency industry companies that rely on third party products may be subject to technical defects or vulnerabilities beyond a company's control. Because many crypto assets do not have a standardized exchange, like a stock market, there is less liquidity for such assets and greater possibility of volatility, fraud or manipulation. The values of certain companies included in the Fund's portfolio may not entirely be a reflection of their connection to the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry ecosystem, but may be based on other business operations. In addition, these companies may engage in other lines of business unrelated to the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry ecosystem and these lines of business could adversely affect their operating results. Such companies may be engaged in activities traditionally comprising the information technology sector and financial sectors. These companies also may not be able to develop crypto technology applications or may not be able to capitalize on those applications. Technologies also may never be fully implemented, which could adversely affect an investment in such companies. Companies that use crypto technologies may be subject to cybersecurity risk. In addition, certain features of blockchain and cryptocurrency industry technologies, such as decentralization, open source protocol, and reliance on peer-to-peer connectivity, may increase the risk of fraud or cyber-attack by potentially reducing the likelihood of a coordinated response. A significant disruption of Internet connectivity affecting large numbers of users or geographic areas could impede the functionality of crypto technologies and adversely affect companies included in the Fund's portfolio. Blockchain and cryptocurrency industry companies may be subject to the risks posed by conflicting intellectual property claims, which may reduce confidence in the viability of a crypto asset. Certain of the Fund's investments, including investments in companies with direct holdings of crypto assets may be subject to the risks associated with investing in such assets. Such companies may be subject to the risk that: the technology that facilitates the transfer of the crypto asset could fail; the decentralized, open source protocol of the blockchain network utilized by a company held by the Fund could be affected by Internet connectivity disruptions, fraud, consensus failures or cybersecurity attacks; such network may not be adequately maintained by its participants; because crypto assets are a new technological innovation with a limited history, they are highly speculative assets and may experience extreme price volatility; future regulatory actions or policies may limit the ability to sell, exchange or use a crypto asset; the price of a crypto asset may be impacted by the transactions of a small number of holders of such asset; and that a crypto asset will decline in popularity, acceptance or use, thereby impairing its price.

 ****

 ****

***Communication Services Companies Risk***. Communication services companies may be subject to specific risks associated with legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions, intellectual property use and/or increased competition. Communication services companies are particularly vulnerable to rapid advancements in technology, the innovation of competitors, rapid product obsolescence and government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally. Additionally, fluctuating domestic and international demand, shifting demographics and often unpredictable changes in consumer tastes can drastically affect a communication services company's profitability. While all companies may be susceptible to network security breaches, certain communication services companies may be particular targets of hacking and potential theft of proprietary or consumer information or disruptions in service, which could have a material adverse effect on their businesses.

 ****

***Concentration Risk****.* The Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Fund's investments are concentrated in the securities and/or other assets of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector, market segment or asset class.

 ****

***Currency Risk****.* Changes in currency exchange rates affect the value of investments denominated in a foreign currency, and therefore the value of such investments in the Fund's portfolio. The Fund's net asset value could decline if a currency to which the Fund has exposure depreciates against the U.S. dollar or if there are delays or limits on repatriation of such currency. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning.

 ****

***Current Market Conditions Risk****.* Current market conditions risk is the risk that a particular investment, or Fund Shares in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. Global financial markets have experienced periods of elevated volatility driven by geopolitical conflict, changing monetary policy, regulatory developments and trade policy uncertainty, each of which may affect asset prices and market liquidity. Monetary policy remains uncertain and central banks may raise or lower interest rates depending on economic conditions, inflation trends, and financial stability considerations. Changes in interest rates may adversely affect financial markets, liquidity and the value of certain investments held by the Fund. U.S. regulators have proposed and adopted several changes to market and issuer regulations that may directly or indirectly affect the Fund and its investments. Any regulatory changes, including those relating to securities markets, derivatives markets, digital assets, market structure or disclosure requirements could adversely impact the Fund's ability to achieve its investment strategies or make certain investments. The political and regulatory environment in the United States remains subject to change. Political developments, legislative activity, regulatory priorities and policy decisions may affect the regulatory landscape, financial markets and investor behavior. Changes in fiscal, tax, immigration, trade or other government policies may affect economic conditions and securities markets generally. Trade policy developments may also adversely affect financial markets and economic conditions. The United States has implemented and proposed tariffs and other trade restrictions affecting various trading partners, and foreign governments have implemented or may implement retaliatory trade measures. Trade policy uncertainty, including uncertainty regarding the scope, duration, and legal authority for tariffs or other trade restrictions, may disrupt global supply chains, reduce international trade, increase costs for businesses and consumers and contribute to market volatility. Geopolitical conflicts may also adversely affect global markets. Ongoing hostilities and military actions involving the United States, Iran, Israel, and other parties in the Middle East have heightened the risk of broader regional instability and have contributed to volatility in energy markets and global financial markets. Escalation of these or other regional conflicts could disrupt energy supplies, shipping routes, and global supply chains. In addition, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to contribute to geopolitical risk and may affect global markets, particularly commodities and energy markets. The economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as financial markets generally, may also be adversely impacted by geopolitical tensions or disputes. For example, tensions between the United States and China remain ongoing, including disputes relating to trade, technology, and national security. In addition, the Chinese government continues to assert territorial claims involving Taiwan. If geopolitical tensions involving China, Taiwan, or other regions escalate, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or worsen, economies, markets, and individual securities may be adversely affected and the value of the Fund's assets may decline. Technological developments may also significantly affect markets and the performance of the Fund. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence, automation and digital infrastructure may transform industries, alter labor markets, and lead to new regulatory frameworks. In addition, cybersecurity incidents involving government entities, financial institutions, market infrastructure providers, or other participants could disrupt operations, compromise sensitive information, and negatively impact financial markets or the Fund's service providers. These events, and other unforeseen developments, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund's portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.

 ****

 ****

***Cybersecurity Risk****.* The Fund is susceptible to operational risks due to breaches in cybersecurity. A breach in cybersecurity refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cybersecurity breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund's digital information systems through "hacking" or malicious software coding but may also result from outside attacks such as denial-of-service attacks due to efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cybersecurity breaches of the Fund's third-party service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, custodian, or sub-advisor, as applicable, or the issuers in which the Fund invests, can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cybersecurity breaches. Although the Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cybersecurity systems of issuers or third-party service providers.

 ****

***Depositary Receipts Risk****.* Depositary receipts may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market. Any distributions paid to the holders of depositary receipts are usually subject to a fee charged by the depositary. Holders of depositary receipts may have limited voting rights, and investment restrictions in certain countries may adversely impact the value of depositary receipts because such restrictions may limit the ability to convert the equity shares into depositary receipts and vice versa. Such restrictions may cause the equity shares of the underlying issuer to trade at a discount or premium to the market price of the depositary receipts.

 ****

***Emerging Markets Risk****.* Investments in securities issued by governments and companies operating in emerging market countries involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in securities and instruments issued by U.S. companies or by companies operating in other developed market countries. Investments in emerging markets securities are generally considered speculative in nature and are subject to the following heightened risks: smaller market capitalization of securities markets which may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; possible repatriation of investment income and capital; rapid inflation; and currency convertibility issues. Emerging market countries also often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements, unsettled securities laws, unreliable securities valuation and greater risk associated with custody of securities. Financial and other reporting by companies and government entities also may be less reliable in emerging market countries. Shareholder claims that are available in the U.S., as well as regulatory oversight and authority that is common in the U.S., including for claims based on fraud, may be difficult or impossible for shareholders of securities in emerging market countries or for U.S. authorities to pursue. Furthermore, investors may be required to register the proceeds of sales and future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization or creation of government monopolies. ****

 ****

 ****

***Equity Securities Risk****.* Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. Equity securities prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in investors' perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant equity market, such as market volatility, or when political or economic events affecting an issuer occur. Common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase. Common stocks generally subject their holders to more risks than preferred stocks and debt securities because common stockholders' claims are subordinated to those of holders of preferred stocks and debt securities upon the bankruptcy of the issuer.

 ****

***Information Technology Companies Risk****.* Information technology companies produce and provide hardware, software and information technology systems and services. These companies may be adversely affected by rapidly changing technologies, short product life cycles, fierce competition, aggressive pricing and reduced profit margins, the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections, cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards and frequent new competitive product introductions and changing customer tastes. In addition, information technology companies are particularly vulnerable to federal, state and local government regulation, and competition and consolidation, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs. Information technology companies also heavily rely on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by the loss or impairment of those rights.

 ****

***Large Capitalization Companies Risk***. Large-capitalization companies may be less able than smaller capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions. Large-capitalization companies may be more mature and subject to more limited growth potential compared with smaller capitalization companies. During different market cycles, the performance of large capitalization companies has trailed the overall performance of the broader securities markets.

 ****

***National Closed Market Trading Risk****.* To the extent that the underlying securities and/or other assets held by the Fund trade on non-U.S. exchanges or in non-U.S. markets that may be closed when the securities exchange on which Fund Shares trade is open, there are likely to be deviations between the current price of such an underlying security and the last quoted price for the underlying security (*i.e.*, the Fund's quote from the closed non-U.S. market). The impact of a closed foreign market on the Fund is likely to be greater where a large portion of the Fund's underlying securities and/or other assets trade on that closed non-U.S. market or when the non-U.S. market is closed for unscheduled reasons. These deviations could result in premiums or discounts to the Fund's NAV that may be greater than those experienced by other ETFs.

 ****

 ****

***Non-Diversification Risk****.* As a "non-diversified" fund, the Fund has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This may increase the Fund's volatility and increase the risk that the Fund's performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty.

 ****

***Non-U.S. Securities Risk****.* Non-U.S. securities are subject to higher volatility than securities of domestic issuers due to possible adverse political, social or economic developments, restrictions on foreign investment or exchange of securities, capital controls, lack of liquidity, currency exchange rates, excessive taxation, government seizure of assets, the imposition of sanctions by foreign governments, different legal or accounting standards, and less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges in foreign countries.

 ****

***Operational Risk***. The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund's service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third-parties for a range of services, including custody. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks.

 ****

***Passive Investment Risk****.* The Fund is not actively managed. The Fund invests in securities included in or representative of the Index regardless of investment merit. The Fund generally will not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Additionally, the Fund's return may not match the return of the Index for a number of reasons. The Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Index, and may incur costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund's portfolio holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Index. The Fund's portfolio holdings may not exactly replicate the securities included in the Index or the ratios between the securities included in the Index. Additionally, although the Fund follows a defined Index rebalance schedule, the Index Provider could determine to suspend or delay a rebalance to a market event, during which time the Fund's index tracking error may be heightened and could negatively impact investors. Lastly, a stock included in the Index may not exhibit the factor trait or provide specific factor exposure for which it was selected, and consequently, the Fund's holdings may not exhibit returns consistent with that factor trait.

***Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk****.* Small and/or mid capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments, and their securities may be less liquid and may experience greater price volatility than larger, more established companies as a result of several factors, including limited trading volumes, fewer products or financial resources, management inexperience and less publicly available information. Accordingly, such companies are generally subject to greater market risk than larger, more established companies.

***Structural ETF Risks****.* The Fund is an ETF. Accordingly, it is subject to certain risks associated with its unique structure.

 

*<u>Authorized Participant Concentration Risk</u>*. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund, and none of those Authorized Participants is obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants on an agency basis (*i.e.*, on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, Fund Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts or delisting. Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for ETFs, such as the Fund, that invest in securities issued by non-U.S. issuers or other securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.

*<u>Costs of Buying and Selling Fund Shares</u>*. Due to the costs of buying or selling Fund Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Fund Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Fund Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

 

*<u>Premium/Discount Risk</u>*. As with all exchange-traded funds, Fund Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The trading prices of Fund Shares in the secondary market may differ from the Fund's daily net asset value per share and there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the net asset value per share (premium) or less than the net asset value per share (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

\* The Fund's performance information presented above is unaudited and may differ from that which is presented in the Annual Shareholder Report due to required adjustments for shareholder reporting.

After-tax returns in the table above are calculated using the historical highest individual U.S. federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to tax-exempt investors or investors who hold Fund Shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts ("IRAs"). Fund returns after taxes on distributions and sales of Fund Shares are calculated assuming that an investor has sufficient capital gains of the same character from other investments to offset any capital losses from the sales of Fund Shares. As a result, Fund returns after taxes on distributions and sales of Fund Shares may exceed Fund returns before taxes and/or returns after taxes on distributions.

**Management**

 

*<u>Investment Adviser</u>*: Bitwise Investment Manager, LLC

 

*<u>Investment Sub-Adviser</u>*: Vident Advisory, LLC (d/b/a Vident Asset Management)

*<u>Portfolio Managers</u>*: Jennifer Thornton, Head of ETFs & Index Portfolio Management at BIM, Daniela Padilla, Portfolio Manager at BIM, Rafael Zayas, Portfolio Manager at Vident, and Austin Wen, Portfolio Manager at Vident, are the individuals primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. Ms. Thornton, Ms. Padilla and Mr. Zayas have served as a portfolio manager since the Fund's inception in October 2022. Mr. Wen has served as a portfolio manager since April 2024.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

The Fund will issue (or redeem) Fund Shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of Fund Shares known as "Creation Units." Creation Unit transactions are conducted in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a designated portfolio of in-kind securities and/or cash.

Individual Fund Shares may only be purchased and sold on the Exchange, other national securities exchanges, electronic crossing networks and other alternative trading systems through your broker-dealer at market prices. Because Fund Shares trade at market prices rather than at net asset value ("NAV"), Fund Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). When buying or selling Fund Shares in the secondary market, you may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Fund Shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Fund Shares (ask) (the "bid-ask spread"). Recent information regarding the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads is available at https://www.bwebetf.com.

**Tax Information**

The Fund's distributions are expected to be taxed as ordinary income, qualified dividend income and/or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account. Any withdrawals made from such tax-advantaged arrangement may be taxable to you.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries**

If you purchase Fund Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Adviser, Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Fund's distributor, may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
