Launching with a 0% management fee*, GAVA reflects our conviction in Avalanche as a highly customizable blockchain with real-world use cases across gaming, finance, and enterprise. The Grayscale Avalanche Staking ETF (the "Fund") is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore is not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds or ETFs registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Why GAVA? • Staking exposure: Exposure to the native token of the Avalanche network, including its potential staking rewards1. • Exposure to growing institutional adoption: Avalanche is a category leader in blockchain-based gaming and has increasing traction among financial and entertainment enterprises like KKR and FIFA2. • Expert sponsor: Sponsored by Grayscale, the world's largest crypto-focused investment platform3 with over a decade of experience managing crypto investment products. Disclosures * Management fee at 0% for the first 3 months of trading or the first $1.0 billion of assets. After the fund reaches $1.0 billion in assets or after a 3-month waiver period, the fee will be 0.35%. Brokerage fees and other expenses may still apply. 1 Potential staking rewards are earned by the Fund and not issued directly to investors. 2 Avalanche: https://build.avax.network/integrations/kkr and FIFA.com, June 11, 2025. "FIFA Collect migrates to new FIFA Blockchain." 3 Largest crypto-focused asset manager based on AUM as of 12/31/2025. For other companies in this category, AUM is considered as of most recent public disclosure. This information must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus, which may be obtained by clicking here. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. An investment in the Fund is subject to significant risk and heightened volatility. GAVA is not suitable for an investor that cannot afford the loss of the entire investment. An investment in the Fund is not a direct investment in AVAX. This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. When a Fund stakes its underlying asset, it is exposed to the general risks of staking. Staking requires the token to be locked up for a required period, making it illiquid and unable to be sold or transferred during that time. The Fund remains exposed to market volatility while locked and may miss favorable selling opportunities. During unstaking, rewards may be reduced or unavailable. Staked assets also face risks such as security breaches, network failures, smart contract vulnerabilities, and validator or custodian issues, which could result in loss of assets or rewards.
