The 21Shares Polkadot ETF (TDOT) is designed to provide investors with direct exposure to the performance of DOT, the native utility token of the Polkadot network, through a familiar exchange-traded structure. As a physically-backed spot ETF listed on the NASDAQ, the Fund holds DOT as its primary asset, allowing for a seamless integration of digital asset exposure into traditional brokerage portfolios. The investment objective of the Fund is to track the CME CF Polkadot – Dollar Reference Rate (New York Variant), adjusted for fees and liabilities.
