The verdict is on the memo: Theo Short Duration US Treasury Fund (thBILL) Not approved
Eligibility
Each answer quotes the issuer’s own words from the document named under it. Ketju reads each document again and records whether the words are still there. Where the documents say nothing, the row states that.
- What the holder owns
Theo says thBILL holders have no claim over the underlying assets; a redemption returns the value in USDC.
“Participants have no claims over underlying assets.”

Who controls it
Ketju read these powers from the deployed contracts and their verified source code: the token and every contract it checks on a transfer. A power listed here is something the issuer can do; it does not mean the issuer has used it.
| Chain | Freeze a holder | Pause | Claw back | Gate holders | Change the code | Keys held by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | No | Yes | No | No | Yes | A single key can pause transfers. A timelock with a 2-day delay holds the admin key. |
| Arbitrum | No | No | No | No | No | A 3-of-5 multisig holds the owner key. |
| Base | No | No | No | No | No | A 3-of-4 multisig holds the owner key. |
| Hyperliquid L1 | No | No | No | No | No | A 3-of-4 multisig holds the owner key. |
Who holds the keys
Ketju read every current holder of each power from the chain on 2026-09-23. A single key is one private key, and whoever holds it acts alone. A multisig needs the stated number of signers. A timelock delays every action, so holders can see it before it takes effect.
| Chain | Key | What it can do | Held by | Address |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | Emergency role | pause transfers | a single key | 0x7afb…d94a |
| Ethereum | Admin role | grant and revoke these powers | a timelock with a 2-day delay | 0x2bb4…ca02 |
| Arbitrum | Owner | grant and revoke these powers | a 3-of-5 multisig | 0x9487…1295 |
| Base | Owner | grant and revoke these powers | a 3-of-4 multisig | 0x9487…1295 |
| Hyperliquid L1 | Owner | grant and revoke these powers | a 3-of-4 multisig | 0x9487…1295 |

Where it trades
| Venue | Kind |
|---|---|
| Theo app (KYC mint and redeem) | issuer primary |
| Uniswap and other DEX pools on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and HyperEVM | dex |
Redemption
| Route | Settlement | Settles in |
|---|---|---|
| Redeem with the issuer in its window | KYC’d users redeem through Theo for USDC; Theo says the token side settles at once and the underlying within four business days. The holder receives USDC and no fund shares | USDC |
| Secondary market only; no issuer redemption | DEX pools and lending markets on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and HyperEVM, with market making Theo says it arranges | USDC |
- Theo names the legal issuer of thBILL or publishes terms that give holders a claim; Ketju will then review the file again for the claim, the investor test, and the holder register
- The thBILL implementation, the DEFAULT_ADMIN_ROLE timelock, or the EMERGENCY_ROLE key on Ethereum changes, or an OFT owner on Arbitrum, Base, or HyperEVM changes
- tULTRA on Ethereum takes delivery of ULTRA shares, or its pending assets stop matching its total assets
- The Ethereum basket’s deposit list gains FILQ or another asset, as Theo’s product page already claims, or drops tULTRA
- Theo publishes thBILL on another chain
Daily checks
Every day Ketju reads each control function in the table above and the contracts the token checks on a transfer. Ketju compares the token’s on-chain supply with yesterday’s, and its market quote with yesterday’s quote, since a fund of this kind accrues a few basis points a day. Ketju also reads every document quoted above and reviews the file again if a quoted passage disappears from its document. Ketju counts a new, removed, or changed key as a change only when the chain’s own log shows the grant, revocation, or signer change since yesterday. If the log does not show it, Ketju updates the key list in this file and does nothing more. A change opens a review before any client action. Subscribers get an email that names each of their clients who hold the token, with the household result.
File history
Ketju has not revised this file since filing it. If Ketju revises it, the earlier version stays as published, with the reason.
