Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (Ticker: NCIQ) Expands, Bringing US Investors Access to Five Leading Crypto Assets Through One Diversified Product
With this development, Hashdex and Nasdaq Global Indexes build on their partnership and track record for crypto index product innovation, expanding the first multi-asset spot crypto ETP in the United States.
New York, September 25, 2025 – Hashdex Asset Management Ltd. (“Hashdex”), a leading global crypto asset manager, and Nasdaq Global Indexes, today announced the expansion of the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (the “Product” or “NCIQ”) [Ticker: NCIQ], the first multi-asset spot crypto ETP in the United States, launched in February 2025. Initially launched with spot Bitcoin and Ether, NCIQ will now provide exposure to spot Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Stellar—representing over $3 trillion in combined market capitalization1—through a single, tradable product.
With this expansion, NCIQ will allow U.S. investors to access five of the leading crypto assets by market capitalization all through one tradable product. NCIQ builds on Hashdex’s track record of innovation and global market leadership in crypto index-based products, providing diversified, passive exposure to investors while reducing complexity and cost. In 2021, Hashdex introduced the world’s first crypto index ETF2 and other innovative products in global markets. The firm manages the largest multi-asset crypto ETP in Europe3 and the largest multi-asset crypto ETF in Latin America4, enabling investors to simply and securely add crypto to their portfolios.
“Since 2018, Hashdex has been a market leader in crypto index products globally, and this signifies a major milestone in meeting the needs of U.S. advisors and investors looking to participate in the continued evolution of the crypto ecosystem. The expansion of the NCIQ will now provide investors access to Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Stellar all in one product, giving investors an easier way to participate in a fast-growing crypto industry,” said Marcelo Sampaio, Co-Founder and CEO of Hashdex. “We are grateful for our longstanding partnership with Nasdaq Global Indexes, which has been instrumental in bringing crypto index-based products to U.S. investors.”
“As U.S. investors increasingly look to add crypto assets to their portfolios, we’re proud to bring them the same proven structure that has powered traditional index ETFs for decades. With NCIQ, investors gain access to a dynamic, rules-based exposure that evolves with the market—eliminating the need to try to pick individual winners,” said Samir Kerbage, CIO at Hashdex. “Thanks to recent regulatory updates and the approval of generic listing standards, NCIQ is expanding today and will adapt over time as new assets meet the index’s and listing requirements. Crypto index investing is emerging as a category that defines how investors allocate to this new asset class, and the Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI) is designed to be its benchmark. As with past technological revolutions, diversified index products with thoughtful methodologies can play a pivotal role in helping investors benefit from market transformations.”
The NCIQ tracks the Nasdaq Crypto US™ Index (“NCIUS”), which was co-developed by Nasdaq Global Indexes and Hashdex to track the performance of a material portion of the overall crypto asset market. The NCIUS is based on strict criteria like liquidity, market capitalization, and regulatory compliance. Currently, BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA, and XLM are eligible for inclusion in the NCIUS. NCIQ does not
currently include ADA in its holdings.
The expansion of NCIQ marks an important milestone in the U.S. crypto index market and continues the long-term partnership between Hashdex and Nasdaq Global Indexes. Hashdex and Nasdaq Global Indexes have been among the pioneers in developing crypto index and index-based products since 2021. Hashdex’s total AUM is approximately $1.56 billion5, and the firm currently offers four index products tracking the global version of the NCI™.
Hashdex serves as the sponsor for NCIQ. Paralel Distributors LLC serves as marketing agent, and Coinbase Custody and BitGo Trust serve as crypto asset custodians. Nasdaq serves as the index administrator and listing venue. The fund administrator is U.S. Bank Global Fund Services. These entities are all unaffiliated.
Hashdex has no role in maintaining, calculating or publishing NCIUS. A registration statement (including a prospectus ) has been filed with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates and can be found here: PROSPECTUS. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Product Risks
An investment in the Product involves significant risks and you could incur a partial or total loss of your investment in the Product.
Crypto assets generally are volatile, and instruments whose underlying investments include crypto assets are not suitable for all investors. Crypto assets are a new and rapidly evolving industry. The value of the Product depends on a number of factors including the acceptance of the crypto assets, the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and the fundamental investment characteristics of the crypto assets. Crypto platforms may be largely unregulated or may be largely or entirely non-compliant with applicable regulation and may therefore be more exposed to fraud, failure, and security breaches. Crypto asset markets in the U.S. exist in a state of regulatory uncertainty, and adverse legislative or regulatory developments could significantly harm the Product.
The market for crypto assets is still developing and may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Illiquid markets may exacerbate losses or increase the variability between the Product's NAV and its market price. The lack of active trading markets for the Product’s shares may result in losses on investors' investments at the time of disposition of the Product’s shares.
Both the Index and the Product are new, and have a limited operating history.
