EXPLANATORY NOTE

Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (the "Company," the "Registrant," "we," or "us") is a Canadian corporation that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this Registration Statement on Form 40-F  pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in accordance with disclosure requirements in effect in Canada, which are different from those of the United States.

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form 40-F on May 10, 2021 (the "Registration Statement"), Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on May 13, 2021, and Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on June 15, 2021. The Company is filing this Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement to (i) change the name of the symbol under which its shares will trade on Nasdaq from "HBTL" to "HVBT;" to (ii) include additional exhibits, each of which is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement on Form 40-F; and (iii) amend the exhibit references and descriptions under the heading "DOCUMENTS FILED AS PART OF THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT" and other sections. No other amendment to the Company's Registration Statement on Form 40-F is being effected hereby.

CAUTIONARY NOTE EGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This registration statement on Form 40-F contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, the market in which we operate, our beliefs and our Management's assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "targets", "goals", "projects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or assess. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. Any investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this registration statement before you decide to invest in our common shares. In particular, each of the following risks may materially and adversely affect our business objective, plan of operation and financial condition.  These risks may cause the market price of our common shares to decline, which may cause you to lose all or a part of the money you invested in our common shares.

•our ability to achieve and maintain profitability, which depends to a large degree on factors we cannot control, including the value of cryptocurrencies, our electricity costs, the availability of equipment and the related supply chain for graphics processing chips and regulatory changes;

•high volatility in the value of cryptocurrencies generally and in the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum particularly, and the effect of such volatility on our ability to operate profitably;

•changes in the regulatory and legal environments in the countries and Canadian Provinces in which we operate may lead to future challenges to operating our business or may subject our business to added costs with the result that some or all of our operating facilities become less profitable or unprofitable altogether;

•risks related to our failure to continue to obtain financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms;

•our ability to keep pace with technology changes and competitive conditions;

•other risks and uncertainties related to our business plan and business strategy; and

•the impact on the world economy of coronavirus ("COVID-19").

Although we believe that the assumptions on which our forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be inaccurate. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this registration statement should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this registration statement.  We assume no duty and do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements.

Applicable risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those identified:  under the heading "Risk Management" in each of the Registrant's Management's Discussion & Analysis for the year ended March 31, 2020  the Registrant's Management's Discussion & Analysis for the periods ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020, and December 30, 2020, 2020, attached hereto as Exhibits 99.3, 99.5, 99.7, 99.9 and 99.11 respectively, and under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Registrant's Annual Information Form for the year ended March 31, 2020, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and all of the foregoing incorporated herein by reference, and in other filings that the Registrant has made and may make with applicable securities authorities in the future.  Additionally, the safe harbor provided in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), applies to forward-looking information provided pursuant to "Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements" and "Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations" in this Registration Statement.  Except as required by applicable law, the Registrant does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect, in particular, new information or future events, or otherwise.
