time" and continue to evolve. Please remove these statements as the legal tests are well

the U.S. federal securities laws.

in 43 U.S. states plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico and that INXS is registered as a
broker-dealer in United States.

8.We acknowledge your response to the second bullet to prior comment 32. Please
represent to us that in your upcoming 2022 Form 20-F you will revise your disclosure to
clarify that you no longer carry digital asset as indefinite-lived intangible assets with the
advent of your trading platform. Otherwise tell us why this disclosure is not meaningful
to an investor's understanding to your current operations.
9.We acknowledge the response to the fourth bullet of prior comment 32 and your statement
that the principal market or most advantageous market for your digital assets held is
frequently not known or determinable and your reference to the provision in IFRS 13.17

that an entity need not undertake an exhaustive search of all possible markets to identify
the principal or most advantageous market. Please address the following and reference
the authoritative literature you rely upon to support your position:
•Tell us how an aggregated price from multiple exchanges and platforms on
coinmarketcap.com can represent the price from a single market contemplated in
IFRS 13.16.
•Tell us how you considered the second sentence in IFRS 13.17 that the market in
which you normally transact for each digital asset is presumed to be your principal or
most advantageous market.
•Tell us whether you identify a principal or most advantageous market for each digital
asset you hold and separately determine that the difference between the prices in
these markets and on coinmarketcap.com at each reporting period are immaterial. To
the extent that you do not make this assessment each reporting period and rely on
your belief that any difference would be immaterial, tell us how you do not have a
significant deficiency or material weakness in internal controls over financial
reporting given the requirement to identify a single principal or most advantageous
market for each digital asset held.
