FAQ

C1 Fund gives you public-market access to private and late-stage digital assets services and technology companies that are normally unavailable to many individual investors.

Companies like Kraken, Ripple, Chainalysis, ConsenSys and Alchemy sit at the core of the digital asset ecosystem — yet investing in these businesses is typically restricted to venture funds, private equity and institutional capital.

C1 Fund exists to bridge that gap.
It is one of the few ways public-market investors can gain exposure to this layer of the market through a single exchange-traded security.

C1 Fund invests in private digital asset services and technology infrastructure companies — the businesses that sit at the core of trading, custody, compliance, development and settlement across the digital asset ecosystem.

The portfolio includes exposure to companies such as:

• Kraken — one of the largest and most established global crypto exchanges, known for its institutional-grade infrastructure, deep liquidity and regulatory engagement across multiple jurisdictions.
• Ripple — a leader in enterprise blockchain payments, enabling real-time cross-border settlement for banks and financial institutions at global scale.
• ConsenSys — a foundational software provider to the Ethereum ecosystem, building critical infrastructure and tools used by developers, enterprises and institutions worldwide.
• Alchemy — a core developer infrastructure platform powering many of the most widely used Web3 applications, providing the underlying tooling that enables blockchain products to scale reliably.
• Chainalysis — the leading blockchain intelligence and analytics platform used by governments, regulators, law enforcement and financial institutions to monitor activity, manage risk and ensure compliance across digital assets.
• Figment — a major institutional staking and blockchain infrastructure provider supporting networks at scale, trusted by asset managers and enterprises to operate critical blockchain nodes securely and reliably.
• BitGo — a leading institutional digital asset custodian providing secure custody, settlement and infrastructure services to financial institutions and crypto platforms globally.

These are operating companies with institutional customers, proven adoption and strategic importance to the long-term development of digital assets.

C1 Fund’s ability to access these companies is driven by a team with over a decade of experience in digital assets, deep relationships across the ecosystem and direct access to secondary markets, founders and CEOs of privately held companies. This positions the fund to invest where access is typically limited to institutional capital.

Many investors only become aware of these companies after they enter public markets. C1 Fund is designed to provide exposure before that point — where insight, access and relationships matter most.

Buying cryptocurrencies gives you price exposure.
Buying C1 Fund gives you ownership exposure.

C1 Fund invests in the companies behind the ecosystem, not the tokens themselves. That means:

• Exposure to potential business growth, not just market volatility
• Companies with customers, revenues and operating models
• No need to manage wallets, private keys or exchanges

This approach is built for investors who believe in the long-term adoption of digital assets, but want exposure through business fundamentals and public-market structure.

Because access and timing matter — and both are limited.

Most investors gain exposure to digital asset services and technology infrastructure companies after they become widely known or publicly listed, when early access has already passed. C1 Fund is designed to provide exposure earlier in that lifecycle, through a single publicly traded fund.

Since listing, C1 Fund has already seen its first portfolio company transition from private ownership into the public markets, demonstrating that this access is not theoretical — it is already happening.

Unlike traditional private-market vehicles, C1 Fund does not require lock-ups, capital calls, or long holding periods. Investors can gain exposure now, with the flexibility to adjust or exit their position through public markets.

Waiting doesn’t eliminate risk.
It often just eliminates access.

C1 Fund is designed to offer private-market exposure with public-market flexibility.

There is:

• No minimum investment
• No lock-in period
• No SPV structure
• No capital calls

Investors can buy and sell C1 Fund shares like any other listed security, while gaining exposure to private and late-stage digital asset services and technology infrastructure companies that are typically inaccessible outside institutional vehicles.

This makes C1 Fund an opportunity for investors to participate in private markets while retaining the liquidity and flexibility of public markets. Investors do not need to commit long-term capital upfront or sacrifice control over timing.

In short, C1 Fund allows investors to decide when to enter and when to exit, without giving up exposure to companies that are usually only available behind closed doors.

C1 Fund shares trade publicly on the NYSE under the ticker CFND and can be purchased through most major investment platforms and brokerage firms.

CFND is available on platforms such as Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, Fidelity, SoFi Invest, WeBull, Futu and many other retail and institutional brokerage platforms.

We will never solicit individual retail investors to invest through Whatsapp, social media, message board and chatrooms. If you are solicited to invest in C1 Fund by anyone other than through a FINRA registered broker-dealer that you recognize from an existing broker-client relationship, please ignore that solicitation.
