On January 31, 2021, in a telephone conversation with the Staff, the Staff requested that we confirm that our response to the Staff’s prior Comment #1 (regarding whether any of the recent bankruptcies in the digital asset space have had any material direct or indirect impact on us) is still accurate in light of the recently announced
Genesis bankruptcy and our relationship with Foundry, and to consider the advisability of adding some cautionary disclosure to the effect that we cannot provide any assurance that these recent bankruptcies, or potential future bankruptcies
of other participants, in the digital asset space will not have a material impact on our company in the future.
|
RESPONSE: In response to the Staff’s comment, we have included disclosure in Amendment No. 4 to reaffirm that our previous response to the Staff’s comment is still accurate even in light of
the recently announced bankruptcy of Genesis Global Holdco, LLC. Further, we have added additional disclosure that we cannot provide any assurance that we will not be materially impacted in the future by bankruptcies of participants in the crypto
asset space. Please see pages 2, 3, 8, 10 and 11 of Amendment No. 4.
