Agent at this time. Please also tell us how you expect to update your disclosure and inform
investors once the Execution Agent has identified and selected particular Bitcoin
Counterparties. In addition, please also clarify whether and to what extent any of the

revise to reconcile your use of this defined term and clarify whether Coinbase and the
Execution Agent have identified the same trading venues.
