Any disruption in the Fund’s ability to obtain exposure to the Eligible Assets may negatively impact the Fund’s performance. A market disruption, such as a government taking regulatory or other actions that disrupt the crypto asset market, can also make it difficult to liquidate a position. Unexpected market illiquidity may cause major losses to investors at any time or from time to time. In addition, the Fund does not intend at this time to establish a credit facility, which would provide an additional source of liquidity, but instead will rely only on the cash and cash equivalents that it holds to meet its liquidity needs. The anticipated value of the positions in the Eligible Assets that the Sponsor will acquire or enter into for the Fund increases the liquidity risk. Buying and selling activity associated with the purchase and redemption of Shares may adversely affect an investment in the Shares

The Sponsor’s purchase of assets, including in connection with
creation orders, may cause the price of the Eligible Assets to increase, which will result in higher prices for the Shares. Increases
in the Eligible Assets’ prices may also occur as a result of purchases by other market participants who attempt to benefit from
an increase in the market price of crypto assets. The market price of Eligible Assets may therefore decline immediately after such assets
are purchased or Creation Units are created.

Selling activity associated
with sales of assets by the Sponsor, including in connection with redemption orders, may decrease the Eligible Assets’ prices,
which will result in lower prices for the Shares. Decreases in the Eligible Assets’ prices may also occur as a result of
selling activity by other market participants.

In addition to the effect that
purchases and sales of the Eligible Assets by the Sponsor and other market participants may have on the price of the Eligible Assets,
other exchange-traded products or large private investment vehicles with similar investment vehicles (if developed) could represent
a substantial portion of demand for the Eligible Assets at any given time and the sales and purchases by such investments may impact
the price of the Eligible Assets. If the price of the Eligible Assets declines, the trading price of the Shares will generally
also decline.

The inability of Authorized
Participants and market makers to hedge their crypto exposure may adversely affect the liquidity of Shares and the value of an
investment in the Shares

Authorized Participants
and market makers will generally want to hedge their exposure in connection with creation and redemption orders. To the extent
Authorized Participants and market makers are unable to hedge their exposure due to market conditions (e.g., insufficient liquidity
in the market, inability to locate an appropriate hedge counterparty, extreme volatility in the price of the Eligible Assets, wide
spreads between prices quotes on different crypto platforms, etc.), such conditions may make it difficult to create or redeem Creation
Units or cause them to not create or redeem Creation Units. In addition, the hedging mechanisms employed by Authorized Participants
and market makers to hedge their exposure to the Eligible Assets may not function as intended, which may make it more difficult
for them to enter into such transactions. Such events could negatively impact the market price of Shares and the spread at which
Shares trade on the open market. To the extent Authorized Participants wish to use futures to hedge their exposure, note that while
growing in recent years, the market for exchange-traded crypto futures contracts has a limited trading history and operational
experience and may be less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than more established
futures markets. The liquidity of the market will depend on, among other things, the adoption of crypto assets and the commercial
and speculative interest in the market.

Arbitrage transactions
intended to keep the price of Shares closely linked to the price of the Eligible Assets may be problematic if the process for creations
and redemptions encounter difficulties, which may adversely affect an investment in the Shares

If the processes of creation
and redemption of the Shares encounter any unanticipated difficulties, potential market participants who would otherwise be willing
to purchase or redeem Creation Units to take advantage of any arbitrage opportunity arising from discrepancies between the price
of the Shares and the price of the underlying assets may not take the risk that, as a result of those difficulties, they may not
be able to realize the profit they expect. If this is the case, the liquidity of Shares may decline, and the price of the Shares
may fluctuate independently of the price of the Eligible Assets and may fall.

Examples of such unanticipated
difficulties in the creation and redemption process might include, but are not limited to, operational failures such as technological
malfunctions in the trade execution or settlement systems, delays or inaccuracies in data feeds, or disruptions in the communication
channels used to transmit creation and redemption orders. Regulatory changes or legal challenges could also impose unforeseen hurdles,
potentially leading to delays or restrictions in the processing of creation and redemption orders. Furthermore, liquidity issues
in the crypto asset market itself could impede the ability to acquire or dispose of the Eligible Assets efficiently, thereby affecting
the creation and redemption of Creation Units.

The liquidity of the Shares
may be adversely affected by changes in participation by Authorized Participants, market makers, or minimum share levels

The liquidity and market price
of the Shares depend significantly on the continued participation of Authorized Participants, market makers, and other key secondary-market
participants. Only Authorized Participants may engage in direct creation or redemption transactions with the Fund, and the Fund
has a limited number of such institutions. If one or more Authorized Participants or major market makers withdraw, become unable
to process orders, or cease activities, the Fund may experience trading halts, increased bid/ask spreads, or Shares trading at
a discount to NAV, potentially leading to limited liquidity or even delisting.

Additionally, there may be
instances where an Authorized Participant is unable to proceed with or complete a redemption order, particularly during periods
of market disruption, exchange suspensions, or emergencies. In such cases, declining asset values may result in reduced cash distributions
or a loss to Authorized Participants, which can further decrease secondary market liquidity. During these periods, fewer buyers
may be available and overall trading in Shares may decline.

Furthermore, the Fund may
specify a minimum number of Shares or Baskets that must remain outstanding. If redemptions reduce the number of outstanding Shares
to this minimum, additional redemptions cannot occur until new Shares are created. This restriction may make market makers less
willing to purchase Shares, potentially limiting the ability to sell Shares in the secondary market. The minimum levels for Shares
are subject to change and will be posted daily on the Fund’s website. The Sponsor cannot guarantee ongoing participation
by Authorized Participants, market makers, or the maintenance of adequate liquidity in the secondary market.

The Fund may experience
low trading volume and wide bid/ask spreads. Bid/ask spreads vary over time based on trading volume and market liquidity (including
for the underlying Eligible Assets held by the Fund) and are generally lower if Shares have more trading volume and market liquidity
and higher if Shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Additionally, in stressed market conditions, the market for
Shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund’s portfolio holdings, which
may cause a variance in the market price of the Shares and their underlying value.

The postponement, suspension
or rejection of purchase or redemption orders could adversely affect a Shareholder redeeming their Shares in the Fund

The postponement, suspension
or rejection of creation or redemption orders may adversely affect an investment in the Shares of the Fund. To the extent orders
are suspended or rejected, the arbitrage mechanism resulting from the process through which Authorized Participants create and
redeem Shares directly with the Fund may fail to closely link the price of the Shares to the value of the Eligible Assets. If this
is the case, the liquidity of the Shares may decline, and the price of the Shares may fluctuate and may fall.

There are no limitations
on the Sponsor’s discretion to postpone, suspend or reject purchase or redemption orders under the Securities Act or SEC
listing orders permitting the listing and trading of the Fund’s Shares on the Exchange. In addition, Shareholders of the
Fund will not have the protections provided in this regard that are applicable to Funds regulated under the Investment Company
Act.

Loss of a critical
banking relationship for, or the failure of a bank used by, the Fund could adversely impact the Fund’s ability to create
or redeem or could cause losses to the Fund
