What is a digital asset?
A digital asset is anything that comes in digital format and contains digital representations of value, including cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, and other forms of digital content.
Cryptocurrency, the most well-known type, is a digital currency issued and transferred electronically. These transactions are verified through a decentralized system called blockchain. Rather than relying on a centralized authority, blockchain creates an immutable digital ledger where transactions are transparently recorded and verifiable by all users.

Spot crypto ETPs (FBTC, FETH and FSOL) are for investors with a high risk tolerance and invest in a single cryptocurrency, which are highly volatile and could become illiquid. Investors could lose their entire investment.
FBTC, FETH and FSOL must be preceded or accompanied by its prospectus (FBTC Prospectus | FSOL Prospectus | FETH Prospectus). Spot crypto ETPS, such as FBTC, FETH and FSOL, are not investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) nor are they commodity pools under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936 (the “CEA”). As a result, shareholders of spot crypto ETPs do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company nor are shareholders afforded the protections of investing in a CEA-regulated instrument or commodity pool.
Digital assets are highly volatile, and their market movements are very difficult to predict. Various market forces may impact their value including, but not limited to, supply and demand, investors’ faith and their willingness to purchase it using traditional currencies, investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, interest rates, currency exchange rates, an evolving legislative and regulatory environment in the U.S. and abroad, and other economic trends. Investors also face other risks, including significant and negative price swings, flash crashes, and fraud and cybersecurity risks. Digital assets may also be more susceptible to market manipulation than securities.
The performance of each fund or funds will not reflect the specific return an investor would realize if the investor actually purchased cryptocurrency. Investors in either fund will not have any rights that cryptocurrency holders have and will not have the right to receive any redemption proceeds in the underlying cryptocurrency.
Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.
Alternative Investment Risks:
Alternative investments are investment products other than the traditional investments of stocks, bond, mutual funds, or ETFs. Alternative investment strategies may not be suitable for all investors and are not intended to be a complete investment program for any investor. Examples of alternative investments are limited partnerships, limited liability companies, hedge funds, private equity, private debt, commodities, real estate, and promissory notes. Some of the risks associated with alternative investments are: Alternative investments may be relatively illiquid. It may be difficult to determine the current market value of the asset. There may be limited historical risk and return data. A high degree of investment analysis may be required before buying. Costs of purchase and sale may be relatively high.
Commodity interest trading involves substantial risk of loss.
Digital assets are speculative and highly volatile, and their market movements are very difficult to predict. Investors also face other risks, including significant and negative price swings, flash crashes, and fraud and cybersecurity risks. Digital assets may also be more susceptible to market manipulation than securities. They can become illiquid at any time and are for investors with a high-risk tolerance. Investors in digital assets could lose the entire value of their investment.
