3.With respect to your planned Lollipop NFT platform, please describe the policies and
procedures that the company follows to avoid impermissibly engaging in or facilitating
transactions in unregistered securities. In addition, please address the specific risks
inherent in the operation of a marketplace, including those associated with the company’s
policies and procedures for determining that the NFTs the company may offer in the
future through the platform are not securities. Please describe the limitations of any such
policies and procedures and state that they involve risk-based judgments by the company
and are not a legal standard or determination binding on any regulatory body or court.
Please also describe the specific potential consequences if any of the NFTs the
company may offer in the future through the marketplace are determined to be securities
under U.S. law.
4.With respect to your planned NFT platform, please identify the blockchain that you intend
to utilize and include a description of the processes and fees related to the use of such
blockchain. To the extent that you intend to develop your own blockchain, please provide
a discussion regarding the functional differences between the blockchain you are
developing and other popular blockchains used for minting NFTs (Ethereum, Solana,
etc.). Be sure to include a discussion of the impact of transaction fees, lack of liquidity,
and volatility as it relates to your NFT platform.
5.Please provide a more detailed discussion of your planned NFT platform with regards to
its functionality and the range of crypto assets you intend to utilize.  To the extent you will
accept crypto assets as payments, or otherwise acquire crypto assets, provide a discussion
regarding whether you have a specific policy in place regarding when and how you will
convert those crypto assets into fiat currency.  Tell us whether you will maintain any
royalty interest or intellectual property ownership of the NFTs sold on your platform.  For
example, explain whether the platform will permit creators or the company to receive a
portion of all subsequent sales of each NFT, or only on the initial sale.  Discuss the
intellectual property underlying the NFTs and explain to us how disputes over such rights
will be resolved and your role in such resolution, including your role in the enforcement
of such rights. Additionally, disclose any risks relating to the operation of such a platform
and any regulatory requirements with which you are required to comply. For example,
discuss whether your NFT platform would be considered a “money transmitter” requiring
registration as a money services business pursuant to FinCEN requirements. As another
example, discuss the impact of high gas and transaction fees, lack of liquidity, and
volatility as it relates to the NFT platform.

6.We note that your NFT platform will also serve as a "wallet for non-fungible
tokens." Please revise to clarify how you intend to hold the NFTs such as whether they
will be held in digital wallets, exchanges, or hardware wallets, and the security
precautions you will take to keep your and your customers crypto assets secure. To the
extent you intend to utilize a third-party for custody of your and your customers crypto
assets, provide a discussion of the custody arrangements and include risk factors to
address the relevant risks.
7.Please supplementally provide us with your legal analysis as to whether the NFTs offered
and sold through your marketplace are securities under Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities
Act of 1933.  In responding to this comment, please address your operation of the
marketplace.  See Gary Plastic Packaging Corp. v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith,
Inc., 756 F.2d 230 (2d Cir. 1985).
