 2. We note your disclosure that the CB Closing is subject to
                                            certain conditions including stockholder approval and receipt of certain regulatory approvals.
                                            We also note your disclosure that you have determined that the CB Merger is not probable
                                            due to, among other factors, substantial uncertainty regarding receipt of regulatory approval
                                            of the CB Merger. Please address these conditions and uncertainties in relation to your statement
                                            that you believe that Commercial Bancorp can be replaced with a substantially similar alternative
                                            acquisition, if necessary. Please also make similar disclosures in your risk factor discussion
                                            on page 58. To the extent practicable, please discuss the level of risk and difficulty
                                            of being able to acquire any such other FDIC institution, given the potential need of regulatory
                                            approval. Explain such risks in relation to your statement that while AtlasClear needs an
                                            institution that can carry funds greater than FDIC insurance limits, this can be any FDIC
                                            institution that can hold funds of the qualified accounts (profit sharing and IRA).

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on pages 58 and 114 of Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement
has been revised.

 3. We note your response to our prior comment 6 that, among
                                            other changed assumptions, your updated projections include more conservative assumptions
                                            used in Wilson-Davis' projections. We also note your disclosure of additional material assumptions
                                            starting on page 114 and that some of these assumptions are not consistent with historical
                                            performance. For example, you state that Wilson-Davis has only had one correspondent while
                                            the projections include a growth from one to five correspondents from year 1 to year 2. Please
                                            briefly discuss here the assumptions that are not consistent with historical performance,
                                            including how you will be able to add the number of brokers from year to year. Please also
                                            further explain how the updated projections reflect a longer period to implement the Company's
                                            business goals.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on pages 115 to 116 of Amendment No. 3 to the Registration
Statement has been revised.

 4. We note your response to our prior comments 5 and 6 and reissue
                                            in part. Please explain why you decided to include 5 years of projections, given these companies
                                            have not yet operated together as a combined entity. Please explain the basis for including
                                            projections beyond the third year and explain if the assumptions are largely based on growth
                                            rates and why those growth rates are reasonable.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has expanded the disclosure on page 111. In addition, the Company believes
that it is required to include in the Registration Statement projections for 5 years because such projections were provided to the Quantum
Board in considering whether to approve the transaction.

 5. We note that your initial projections show a generally lower
                                            percentage growth compared to your updated projections from year 2 to year 5. Please summarize
                                            how the adjustments made in your updated projections resulted in a generally higher percentage
                                            growth.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 114 of Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement has been
revised.

Broker Workstation Revenues, page 114

 6. We note your disclosure that the Company believes that revenue
                                            assumptions per broker and client are comparatively in line with, or conservative, as compared
                                            to historical performance. Please also disclose if the number of new brokers per year is
                                            consistent with historical performance. If it is not consistent with historical performance,
                                            please explain why you believe it is appropriate to include the projection.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 115 of Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement has been
revised.

Clearing and Execution Revenues, page 114

 7. Please further explain the opportunities to increase correspondents
                                            and revenues attained per correspondent. Disclose how the company plans to utilize these
                                            opportunities to achieve the projections. Provide the factors or contingencies that would
                                            affect this projection from ultimately materializing.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 116 of Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement has been
revised.

 8. We note that the percent growth per annum increases from 2%
                                            to 22.5% from year 2 to year 3. Please explain the basis for this expected growth.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on page 116 of Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement has been
revised.

 9. We note your disclosure that Commercial Bancorp's overall
                                            business has been limited due to hiring constraints. Please further explain the basis for
                                            your belief that the projections show a reasonable increase in sales and other administrative
                                            personnel needed to grow the business. Please make similarly clarifying disclosures in your
                                            Securities AFS Revenues section on page 116 and Costs section starting on page 116.
                                            Provide the basis for the increase of percent growth of loan portfolio from 2.5% in year
                                            2 to 5% in year 3. Please discuss the factors or contingencies that would affect this projection
                                            from ultimately materializing.

Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the disclosure on pages 117 to 118 of Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement
has been revised.

We thank the Staff in advance for its consideration
of the foregoing. If you have any questions related to this letter, please contact the undersigned at (703) 749-1386.

    Sincerely,

    /s/ Jason Simon
