Re: Amplify Commodity Trust

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as Delaware counsel to Amplify Commodity Trust (formerly known as ETF Managers Group Commodity Trust I, the “Trust”) in connection with the matters set forth herein. This opinion is being delivered to you at your request. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this letter (including Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference) shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust Agreement (as defined in Exhibit 1).

For purposes of this letter, our review of documents has been limited to the review of originals or copies furnished to us of the documents listed on Exhibit 1, and we have not reviewed any documents other than the documents listed on Exhibit 1. In particular, we have not reviewed and express no opinion as to any document (other than the documents listed on Exhibit 1) that is referred to in, incorporated by reference into, or attached (as an exhibit, schedule, or otherwise) to any of the documents reviewed by us. The opinions in this letter relate only to the documents specified in such opinions, and not to any exhibit, schedule, or other attachment to, or any other document referred to in or incorporated by reference into, any of such documents. We have assumed that there exists no provision in any document that we have not reviewed that is inconsistent with the opinions in this letter. We have conducted no factual investigation of our own, and have relied solely upon the documents reviewed by us, the statements and information set forth in such documents, and the additional matters recited or assumed in this letter, all of which we assume to be true, complete, and accurate and none of which we have investigated or verified.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications, and limitations in this letter, it is our opinion that:

1. The Trust has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, 12 Del. C. § 3801 et seq. (the “DST Act”).

B. We have assumed: (i)  except as stated in numbered paragraph 1, the due incorporation or formation, as the case may be, due organization, and valid existence in good standing under the laws of all relevant jurisdictions of the Trust and each of the parties and each of the signatories (other than natural persons) to each of the documents reviewed by us; (ii) that none of the Trust or such parties or signatories has dissolved or terminated; (iii) except as stated in numbered paragraph 2 above, that each of such parties and signatories had and has the power and authority to execute, deliver (and, as applicable, file and/or issue), and perform each of such documents; (iv) except as stated in numbered paragraph 2 above, the due authorization, execution, delivery (and, as applicable, filing and/or issuance), and performance of each of such documents by each of such parties and signatories; (v) the legal capacity of all relevant natural persons; (vi) that any waiver under any document reviewed by us has been given voluntarily, intelligently, and knowingly; (vii) the satisfaction of all conditions and compliance with all obligations under each of the documents reviewed by us; and (viii) the due issuance of the Units, and receipt of full consideration therefor, in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Consents.
