Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Franklin Crypto Trust names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 30, 2026: 80 risks under these headings, as written.4

  • The Fund will not directly or indirectly participate in any staking program, and accordingly the Shareholders will not receive any staking rewards or other income.
  • The trading prices of many digital assets, including the Digital Assets, have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods and may continue to do so. Extreme volatility in the future, including further declines in the trading prices of Digital Assets, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares and the Shares could lose all or substantially all of their value.
  • The value of the Shares is subject to a number of factors relating to the fundamental investment characteristics of Digital Assets, including the fact that digital assets are bearer instruments and loss, theft, or compromise of the associated private keys could result in permanent loss of the asset, and the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies such as the Digital Asset’s blockchains.
  • Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry, and the value of the Shares depends on the acceptance of Digital Assets.
  • Changes in the governance of a digital asset network may not receive sufficient support from users and validators, which may negatively affect that digital asset network’s ability to grow and respond to challenges.
  • Potential amendments to Digital Asset networks' protocols and software could, if accepted and authorized by the applicable Digital Asset's network community, adversely affect an investment in the Fund.
  • The open-source structure of Digital Asset network protocols means that the core developers and other contributors are generally not directly compensated for their contributions in maintaining and developing Digital Asset network protocols. A failure to properly monitor and upgrade the Digital Asset network protocols could damage the Digital Asset networks and an investment in the Fund.
  • Digital asset networks face significant scaling challenges and efforts to increase the volume and speed of transactions may not be successful.
  • Digital assets may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of such digital assets could have an adverse effect on the market price of such digital assets.
  • If the digital asset award or transaction fees for recording transactions on the Digital Asset’s networks are not sufficiently high to incentivize miners or validators, or if certain jurisdictions continue to limit or otherwise regulate mining or validating activities, miners or validators may cease expanding mining or validating power or demand high transaction fees, which could negatively impact the value of Digital Assets and the value of the Shares.
  • If a malicious actor or botnet obtains control of more than 33% of the validating stake on the Ethereum network or more than 50% of the processing power on the Bitcoin network, or otherwise obtains control over a Digital Asset’s network through its influence over core developers or otherwise, such actor or botnet could delay or manipulate a Digital Asset blockchain, which could adversely affect the value of the Shares or the ability of the Fund to operate.
  • Liquid staking applications pose centralization concerns.
The other 68 risks
  • A temporary or permanent “fork” could adversely affect the value of the Shares.
  • Shareholders will not receive the benefits of any Incidental Rights and any IR Virtual Currency, including any forked or airdropped assets.
  • In the event of a hard fork of a Digital Asset’s network, the Sponsor will, if permitted by the terms of the Declaration of Trust, use its discretion to determine which network should be considered the appropriate network for the Fund’s purposes, and in doing so may adversely affect the value of the Shares.
  • A hard fork could change the source code to the Bitcoin network, including the 21 million bitcoin supply cap.
  • Any name change and any associated rebranding initiative by the core developers, users, miners or validators of a Digital Asset or a Digital Asset's network may not be favorably received by the digital asset community, which could negatively impact the value of Digital Assets and the value of the Shares.
  • Smart contracts, including those relating to DeFi applications, are a new technology and their ongoing development and operation may result in problems, which could reduce the demand for Digital Assets or cause a wider loss of confidence in a Digital Asset’s network, either of which could have an adverse impact on the value of Digital Assets.
  • Validators may suffer losses due to staking, or staking may prove unattractive to validators, which could make the Ethereum network less attractive.
  • Proof-of-stake blockchains are a relatively recent innovation, and have not been subject to as widespread use or adoption over as long of a period of time as traditional proof-of-work blockchains.
  • The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of Digital Assets which has been in the past, and may continue to be, highly volatile and subject to fluctuations due to a number of factors.
  • Because the Fund holds only Digital Assets and cash, an investment in the Fund may be more volatile than an investment in a more broadly diversified portfolio.
  • Due to the relative unregulated nature and lack of transparency surrounding the operations of digital asset platforms, which may experience fraud, manipulation, security failures or operational problems, as well as the wider Digital Assets market, the value of Digital Assets and, consequently, the value of the Shares may be adversely affected, causing losses to Shareholders.
  • Risk of loss of market confidence due to lack of established regulatory framework.
  • Risk of manipulative activity—wash trading.
  • Risk of manipulative activity—front running and other fraudulent activities.
  • Risks related to exchange bankruptcy, failure or closure, including as a result of criminal fraud, cyber attacks or other security breaches.
  • Reputational harm and related industry contagion effects may exacerbate negative events in the digital asset markets or digital platforms.
  • Coinbase serves as the Digital Asset Custodian and prime execution agent for several competing exchange-traded Digital Assets products, which could adversely affect the Fund’s operations and ultimately the value of the Shares.
  • The Underlying Index and the CF Reference Rates have a limited performance history, the CF Reference Rate prices could fail to track the price of each Digital Asset, respectively, and a failure of a CF Reference Rate price could adversely affect the Underlying Index and the value of the Shares.
  • The Underlying Index has a limited performance history, and its methodology may be subject to change.
  • The CF Reference Rates’ prices used to calculate the value of the Fund’s Digital Assets may be volatile, adversely affecting the value of the Shares.
  • The Fund’s investment policies are rules-driven, which may lead the Fund’s portfolio to be underrepresented with respect to digital assets that are increasing in value and/or overrepresented with respect to digital assets that are declining in value.
  • The Fund will not track the Underlying Index exactly and the Fund’s investments may diverge from those comprising the Underlying Index.
  • The Index Provider could experience system failures or errors.
  • The CF Reference Rates’ prices being used to determine the net asset value of the Fund may not be consistent with GAAP. To the extent that the Fund’s financial statements are determined using a different pricing source that is consistent with GAAP, the net asset value reported in the Fund’s periodic financial statements may differ, in some cases significantly, from the Fund’s net asset value determined using the CF Reference Rates’ pricing.
  • Competition from central bank digital currencies (“CBDCs”) and emerging payments initiatives involving financial institutions could adversely affect the value of Digital Assets and other digital assets.
  • Prices of Digital Assets may be affected due to stablecoins (including Tether and US Dollar Coin (“USDC”)), the activities of stablecoin issuers and their regulatory treatment.
  • Competition from the emergence or growth of other digital assets or methods of investing in the Digital Assets could have a negative impact on the price of the Digital Assets and adversely affect the CF Reference Rates, the Underlying Index and the value of the Shares.
  • Competitive pressures may negatively affect the ability of the Fund to garner substantial assets and achieve commercial success.
  • Operational cost may exceed the award for validating transaction, and increased transaction fees may adversely affect the usage of the Digital Asset networks.
  • The SEC has approved generic listing standards for commodity-based trust shares and may approve other applications under Rule 19b-4 of the Exchange Act to list competing digital assets as exchange-traded products, which could reduce demand for, and the price of the Digital Assets and adversely impact the value of the Shares.
  • The Fund may be negatively impacted by the effects of the spread of illnesses or other public health emergencies on the global economy and the markets and service providers relevant to the performance of the Fund.
  • The Fund will rely on the information and technology systems of the Custodians, Administrator, Trustee, Sponsor, Authorized Participants and/or their designees, Digital Assets Trading Counterparties, listing exchange, and the Fund’s other service providers and counterparties (referred to herein as the “Service Providers”), each of which could be directly or indirectly adversely affected by information systems interruptions, cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Fund.
  • The amount of the Fund’s assets represented by each Share will decline over time as the Fund pays the Sponsor’s Fee and additional expenses borne by the Fund, and as a result, the value of the Shares may decrease over time.
  • The Fund is a passive investment vehicle that does not seek to generate returns beyond tracking the price of the Underlying Index. The Fund is not actively managed, does not seek to generate excess returns beyond tracking the price of the Underlying Index and will be adversely affected by a general decline in the price of the Underlying Index.
  • Some Digital Asset networks are supported by foundations and/or founding teams that may influence the development of the network.
  • There could be situations in which Fund is unable to hold all of the Digital Assets included in the Underlying Index.
  • The value of the Shares may be influenced by a variety of factors unrelated to the value of Digital Assets.
  • The liquidity of the Shares may also be affected by the withdrawal from participation of Authorized Participants and/or their designees or Digital Asset Trading Counterparties.
  • The Fund and the Shares may be negatively affected by Authorized Participant Concentration.
  • Certain shareholders may from time to time own a substantial amount of the Fund’s Shares.
  • The Trust is an “emerging growth company” and it cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make the Shares less attractive to investors.
  • The Fund is subject to certain risks due to its concentration in only Digital Assets.
  • The lack of an active trading market for the Shares may result in losses on your investment at the time of disposition of your Shares.
  • If the process of creation and redemption of Creation Units encounters any unanticipated difficulties, the possibility for arbitrage transactions by Authorized Participants intended to keep the price of the Shares closely linked to the price of Digital Assets may not exist and, as a result, the price of the Shares may fall or otherwise diverge from NAV.
  • The Fund’s use of cash creations and redemptions, may adversely affect the arbitrage transactions by Authorized Participants intended to keep the price of the Shares closely linked to the price of Digital Assets and, as a result, the price of the Shares may fall or otherwise diverge from NAV.
  • As an owner of Shares, you will not have the rights normally associated with ownership of other types of shares.
  • The Sponsor may amend the Declaration of Trust without the consent of the Shareholders.
  • Shareholders do not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act or the protections afforded by the CEA.
  • As the Sponsor and its management have limited history of operating investment vehicles like the Fund, their experience may be inadequate or unsuitable to manage the affairs of the Fund.
  • Security threats to the Fund’s account at the Digital Asset Custodian could result in the halting of Fund operations and a loss of Fund assets or damage to the reputation of the Fund, each of which could result in a reduction in the value of the Shares.
  • Digital Assets transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred Digital Assets may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed Digital Assets transactions could adversely affect the value of the Shares.
  • The lack of full insurance and Shareholders’ limited rights of legal recourse against the Fund, Trustee, Sponsor, Administrator, Cash Custodian, Prime Broker and Digital Asset Custodian expose the Fund and its Shareholders to the risk of loss of the Fund’s Digital Assets for which no person or entity is liable.
  • If the Trade Credits are not available or become exhausted, the Fund may face delays in buying or selling Digital Assets that may adversely impact Shareholders; if the Fund does not repay the Trade Credits on time, its assets may be liquidated by the Trade Credit Lender and its affiliates.
  • Loss of a critical banking relationship for, or the failure of a bank used by, the Prime Broker could adversely impact the Fund’s ability to create or redeem Creation Units, or could cause losses to the Fund.
  • The Prime Broker routes orders through Connected Trading Venues in connection with trading services under the Prime Broker Agreement. The loss or failure of any such Connected Trading Venues may adversely affect the Prime Broker’s business and cause losses for the Fund.
  • The Fund may be terminated and liquidated at a time that is disadvantageous to Shareholders.
  • The Declaration of Trust includes provisions that limit Shareholders’ voting rights and the ability to participate in shareholder derivative actions.
  • The non-exclusive jurisdiction for certain types of actions and proceedings and waiver of trial by jury clauses set forth in the Declaration of Trust may have the effect of limiting a Shareholder’s rights to bring legal action against the Trust and could limit a purchaser’s ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Trust.
  • The Sponsor is solely responsible for determining the value of the net asset value of the Fund, and any errors, discontinuance or changes in such valuation calculations may have an adverse effect on the value of the Shares.
  • Extraordinary expenses resulting from unanticipated events may become payable by the Fund, adversely affecting the value of the Shares.
  • The value of the Shares will be adversely affected if the Fund is required to indemnify the Sponsor, the Trustee, the Administrator, the Digital Asset Custodian or the Cash Custodian pursuant to its contractual arrangements.
  • Intellectual property rights claims may adversely affect the Fund and the value of the Shares.
  • Digital asset markets in the U.S. exist in a state of regulatory uncertainty, and adverse legislative or regulatory developments could significantly harm the value of Digital Assets or the Shares, such as by banning, restricting or imposing onerous conditions or prohibitions on the use of Digital Assets, validator activity, digital wallets, the provision of services related to trading and custodying Digital Assets, the operation of the Digital Asset’s networks, or the digital asset markets generally.
  • A determination that the Digital Assets or any other digital asset is a “security” may adversely affect the value of a Digital Asset and the value of the Shares, and result in potentially extraordinary, nonrecurring expenses to, or termination of, the Fund.
  • Competing industries may have more influence with policymakers than the digital asset industry, which could lead to the adoption of laws and regulations that are harmful to the digital asset industry.
  • Regulatory changes or actions in foreign jurisdictions may affect the value of the Shares or restrict the use of one or more digital assets, validating activity or the operation of their networks or the digital asset platform market in a manner that adversely affects the value of the Shares.
  • If regulators or public utilities take actions that restrict or otherwise impact mining activities, there may be a significant decline in such activities, which could adversely affect the Digital Asset’s networks and the value of the Shares.
  • If regulators subject the Fund or the Sponsor to regulation as a money services business or money transmitter, this could result in extraordinary expenses to the Fund or the Sponsor and also result in decreased liquidity for the Shares.
