# Hashdex cryptocurrency ETF developments > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/hashdex-cryptocurrency-etf-developments > Updated: 2026-08-05T04:46:44.000Z. Sources: 10. Developments: 3. In late July 2026, Hashdex filed a Form 8‑K with the U.S. SEC describing a new Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF (ticker NCIQ) that uses a tiered staking‑revenue‑sharing model. Coinbase Cloud is named as the staking provider, and the product is being marketed in Hong Kong and other regions. Around the same time, Hashdex announced the liquidation of its spot Bitcoin ETF (ticker DEFI) listed on NYSE Arca. The fund, launched in 2022 and holding roughly $14.7 million, will cease trading after the market close on 17 August 2026. Remaining Bitcoin holdings will be sold and cash distributions to shareholders are expected by late August, marking the first U.S. spot‑Bitcoin ETF liquidation since the SEC’s 2024 approvals. The move reflects low assets, limited liquidity and a shift of capital toward higher‑return AI‑related assets. The delisting of the Bitcoin ETF is not expected to affect the broader Bitcoin‑ETF market, which still contains about $78 billion across twelve products. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-05: Hashdex Bitcoin ETF delisted as XRP secures collateral role in Ethereum lending Hashdex Bitcoin ETF is set for NYSE delisting, while XRP gains use as Ethereum loan collateral and Meta AI forecasts a price surge fueled by ETFs and regulatory support. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hashdex-bitcoin-etf-delisted-as-xrp-secures-collateral-role-in-ethereum-lending ### 2026-08-04: Hashdex to Liquidate US Spot Bitcoin ETF Hashdex will liquidate its US spot Bitcoin ETF (DEFI) after assets fell to $14.7 M; trading ends 17 Aug and cash will be distributed to shareholders by 28 Aug. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hashdex-to-liquidate-us-spot-bitcoin-etf ### 2026-07-26: Hashdex crypto ETF launches tiered staking revenue sharing model Hashdex’s new crypto ETF returns all initial staking yields to investors, then splits excess net income 40% to Hashdex and 60% to the trust after a 0.25% NAV threshold. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hashdex-crypto-etf-launches-tiered-staking-revenue-sharing-model --- Cite as: Hashdex cryptocurrency ETF developments.
