Dear
Mr. Bellacicco:
This
letter responds to your comments delivered telephonically on April 3, 2025 regarding the registration statement filed on Form N-1A
for Valkyrie ETF Trust II (the “Registrant”) with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”)
on January 17, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement relates to the CoinShares Digital Asset
ETF (the “Fund”), a series of the Registrant. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Registration Statement.
Comment
1 – Principal Investment Strategies
The
Staff notes the revisions made in response to prior Comment 5. Please supplementally discuss the consequences of removing asset and liquidity
thresholds and consider whether additional principal risk disclosure is necessary as a result.
Response
to Comment 1
The
Fund notes that each of the Digital Asset ETPs is offered on a continuous basis and offers daily liquidity according to their own operations.
Accordingly, the Fund does not believe that any particular liquidity threshold is necessary, which is why it was struck from the original
investment strategy. Given the expected liquidity of the assets, the Fund does not believe any additional risk disclosure is necessary.
Comment
2 – Risk Factors
The
Staff notes your response to prior Comment 11. Please supplementally explain the use of a 20% threshold for updating prospectus disclosure
for specific risks regarding a “non-significant” position in a digital asset.
Response
to Comment 2
After
considering the Staff’s comments, the Fund will undertake to update the prospectus disclosure if a position equals or exceeds 10%
of the assets of the Fund.
Comment
3 – General
The
Staff notes your response to prior Comment 22. Please supplementally confirm that the “Covered Securities” require pre-clearance.
Response
to Comment 3
The
Fund confirms that the “Covered Securities” require pre-clearance.
Comment
4 – Prospectus Summary
The
Staff notes the completed fee table provided in Exhibit A in response to prior Comment 2 includes an expense waiver that is set to expire
on December 31, 2025. Pursuant to Instruction 3(e) to Item 3 of Form N-1A, an expense waiver must be in place for at least one year to
be included in a fee table.
Response
to Comment 4
Pursuant
to the Staff’s comment, the expense waiver has been removed from the fee table.
