Prospectus Summary
PhunCoin, page 1
1.You reference that you are “currently targeting launching the review (beta) period on a
nonproduction digital asset (not an actual security token) in the first half of 2019.” Please
clarify what you mean by non-production digital asset and an actual security token and
how they relate to the PhunCoin that would be issued to PhunCoin Rights holders.
2.You anticipate that PhunCoin Rights holders will be issued PhunCoin within one year

will still be in its beta stage. Clarify whether the PhunCoin issued under these PhunCoin
rights agreements will differ or be distinct from the PhunCoin that will be issued after the
PhunCoin Ecosystem has been established and how the utility functions of the PhunCoin
issued prior to the PhunCoin Ecosystem will accrue to these older digital assets.
3.While you indicate the specific launch date for the PhunCoin Ecosystem is difficult to
determine at this time, you indicate a review (beta) period on a non-production digital
asset is targeted to occur in the first half of 2019. Please provide more information as to
what additional steps must be performed after the review/beta period has occurred and
clarify the timeline of these steps. As part of your response, clarify whether you are
nearing the end of your initial development cycle and launch of PhunCoin Ecosystem and
whether you intend to issue PhunCoin to a broader set of investors and users as early as
June 2019 or shortly thereafter.
You may contact Edwin Kim, Staff Attorney, at (202) 551-3297 or Barbara C. Jacobs,
Assistant Director, at (202) 551-3735 with any questions.
