Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On August 25, 2026, the Sponsor caused a Certificate of Amendment to the Trust's Certificate of Trust to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to change the name of the Trust from "21Shares Ethereum ETF" to "21Shares Ethereum Staking ETF". In addition, on August 26, 2026, the Sponsor and CSC Delaware Trust Company, the Trustee of the Trust, entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"). The Trust Agreement made changes to the Third Amended and Restated Trust Agreement to reflect (i) the Trust's use of the FTSE Ethereum Index in place of the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate - New York Variant, (ii) the change in timing of payment of the Sponsor Fee, (iii) the change in the Trust's name and (iv) various other ministerial, technical, conforming and clarifying revisions, none of which materially impact the rights of the Trust or holders of Shares. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to the Trust's Certificate of Trust and a copy of the Trust Agreement are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto, respectively.
