If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.

Given your relationship with Ripple, please tell us why you cannot provide any assurances that Ripple has all relevant licenses and approvals.

We also note that the investment mandate as set forth in the prospectus for InFinT's initial public offering stated that InFinT did not intend to acquire any business which does business in China or Hong Kong. Given that TNG Asia and GEA comprise the predominate portion of Tranglo's Hong Kong related revenue, and that they will continue to remain customers after the divestitures, please explain how the board determined that the continued relationship with TNG Asia and GEA following the business combination was consistent with the investment mandate.

Please provide a more detailed legal analysis explaining why the referenced materials do not constitute reports, opinions, or appraisals within the meaning of Item 1015, and why the company does not consider such information to be material to the transaction, if true.

In addition, the comparable company valuation analyses prepared with ARC and Jones Trading are listed as factors supporting the InFinT's Board's decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement.
