Theo Short Duration US Treasury Fund (thBILL)

What the client owns
Share of a Theo basket vault that holds tULTRA, a Theo vault token counting shares of the ULTRA ultra-short US Treasury fund (Theo’s page also names Fidelity International’s FILQ, which the Ethereum vault did not list on 2026-09-23). Theo says holders have no claim over the underlying assets. Not stated: The issuer’s documents do not say whether the chain or an off-chain register governs. Ketju records the date it checked.
Who may hold it
Not offered to US persons. First purchase minimum not stated. Theo’s terms bar citizens and residents of the United States. Its docs say only users who pass KYC may mint or redeem. No document we read states a minimum; the product page as archived on 2026-09-14 said “No minimums, no lockups, no paperwork,” and the page we read on 2026-09-23 no longer says it.
Who can freeze or claw back
Ethereum: can pause transfers, mint, change the code. A single key can pause transfers. A timelock with a 2-day delay holds the admin key.
Arbitrum: no power on the contract. A 3-of-5 multisig holds the owner key.
Base: no power on the contract. A 3-of-4 multisig holds the owner key.
Hyperliquid L1: no power on the contract. A 3-of-4 multisig holds the owner key.
How a holder redeems
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. Settles in USDC.

Subscribers see which of their clients hold this program and whether each household qualifies under these terms, and Ketju emails them when the file changes. $299 per firm per month, first 30 days free.

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 may hold it

“citizens or residents of the United States or any jurisdiction subject to United States embargo or sanctions”

Who it may be transferred to

Transfers are open on every chain; Theo markets the token for DEX trading and as collateral.

“Use thBILL as collateral, trade on secondary markets, or put it to work in any integrated DeFi protocol”

How a holder redeems

Only users who pass Theo’s KYC may redeem, for USDC; the underlying settles within four business days.

“thBILL can only be minted and redeemed by users who have passed KYC.”

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.

ChainFreeze a holderPauseClaw backGate holdersChange the codeKeys held by
EthereumNoYesNoNoYesA single key can pause transfers. A timelock with a 2-day delay holds the admin 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.

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.
