The Hashdex Bitcoin ETF, known by its DEFI ticker, completed its last day of NYSE Arca trading on Aug. 17 and stopped accepting creation orders on the same date. Hashdex said the fund would then liquidate its remaining Bitcoin and wind up its operations.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/hashdex-debuts-us-spot-bitcoin-etf-defi-with-impressive-pre-market-activity\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Hashdex debuts US spot Bitcoin ETF &#8216;DEFI' with impressive pre-market activity<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The closure came just before a positive day for other U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> products. <a href=\"https:\/\/farside.co.uk\/btc\/\">Farside Investors<\/a>, which publishes an automatically updated table of ETF flows, showed a provisional $189.3 million of net inflows across the products in its Aug. 18 row. BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, accounted for $143.6 million.<\/p>\n<p>Hashdex reported approximately $14.7 million of DEFI assets under management as of July 30. The sponsor said it considered the fund\u2019s asset base, trading liquidity, operating costs, investor interest, product fit and other operational factors.<\/p>\n<p>The formal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1985840\/000121390026084293\/ea030017001ex10-1.htm\">liquidation plan filed with the SEC<\/a> was more specific: DEFI\u2019s net assets relative to its operating expenses made it unreasonable and imprudent to continue the fund over the long term.<\/p>\n<p>The contrast points to fund-specific scale pressure, not a retreat across the Bitcoin ETF category. BlackRock\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ishares.com\/us\/products\/333011\/ishares-bitcoin-trustIBIT\">iShares product page<\/a> showed IBIT with $48.07 billion of net assets as of Aug. 5, more than 3,000 times DEFI\u2019s July 30 AUM snapshot. That comparison uses different dates, and one provisional inflow day does not establish a permanent winner-take-all trend. It does show how category-level demand can coexist with the closure of a small product whose sponsor concluded that its own economics no longer worked.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-c2d2d530-409b-4a04-86ed-bace375544ba.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-556215\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/exec-c2d2d530-409b-4a04-86ed-bace375544ba.png\" alt=\"DEFI\u2019s $14.7 million AUM compared with IBIT\u2019s $48.07 billion net assets, alongside provisional Aug. 18 ETF inflows of $189.3 million and $143.6 million to IBIT.\" width=\"720\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What remaining holders receive next<\/h2>\n<p>Investors who kept DEFI past Aug. 17 no longer have NYSE Arca liquidity. They are instead due a cash distribution based on the net asset value of their shares during liquidation.<\/p>\n<p>The amount is not fixed at the $14.7 million AUM snapshot. Hashdex said it will reflect closing and transaction costs, along with Bitcoin price movements while the remaining holdings are sold. The sponsor warned that those movements could be substantial.<\/p>\n<p>The payment date is inconsistent across Hashdex\u2019s official documents. Its public announcement and the press release filed as an exhibit point to a distribution on or about Aug. 28. The body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/Archives\/edgar\/data\/1985840\/000121390026084293\/ea0300170-8k_hashdex.htm\">Aug. 3 SEC filing<\/a> and the liquidation plan instead say on or about Aug. 24, while noting that dates may change.<\/p>\n<p>Hashdex\u2019s current public timetable therefore points to late August, with Aug. 28 as its shareholder-facing expectation rather than a guaranteed date.<\/p>\n<p>The closure applies to DEFI, the sole series of the Hashdex Commodities Trust. It is separate from the Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF, or NCIQ, and Hashdex said it continued to manage more than $200 million in products available to U.S. investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEFI holders await a late-August cash payout exposed to closing costs and Bitcoin prices after NYSE Arca trading ended Aug.
