Item 8.01 Other Events.

On July 19, 2022, Bitwise Investment Advisors, LLC, the sponsor (the “Sponsor”) of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index Fund (the "Fund") made a change to the group of exchanges from which the Fund identifies the principal market for valuation of the Fund’s crypto assets. The Fund calculates the valuation for each crypto asset included in the Fund's portfolio based on identifying a principal market for each crypto asset. The identification of the relevant principal market follows a process developed by the Sponsor based upon Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 820-10 which outlines the application of fair value accounting. This process begins by identifying publicly available, well-established and reputable cryptocurrency exchanges selected by the Sponsor. Previously, the Sponsor had selected the following exchanges: BitFlyer, Binance, Bitstamp, Bittrex, Coinbase, itBit, Kraken, Gemini and Poloniex. After a review conducted in the ordinary course of business the Sponsor determined to make the following changes to this group of exchanges effective as of July 19, 2022: Poloniex will no longer be included, and FTX, FTX.US and LMAX will now be included.
