Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of our client, CSLM Digital Asset Acquisition Corp III, Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company (formerly known as, CSLM Acquisition Corporation II, Ltd) (the "Company"), we submit to the staff (the " Staff ") of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC ") this letter setting forth the Company's response to the comments contained in the Staff's letter dated June 10, 2025 (the " Comment Letter " ) regarding the Company's Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the " Registration Statement ").

Concurrent herewith, the Company is submitting via EDGAR an Amended Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the " Amended Registration Statement "), which reflects the Company's responses to the Comment Letter and certain updated information. For ease of reference, each comment contained in the Comment Letter is printed below and is followed by the Company's response. All page references in the responses set forth below refer to the page numbers in the Amendment Registration Statement. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this response letter have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended Registration Statement.

June 18, 2025 Page 2

Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 submitted May 15, 2025 Cover Page

1. We note disclosures on page 83 and elsewhere that if you increase or decrease the size of the offering, you will effect a capitalization or a share repurchase or redemption or other appropriate mechanism, as applicable, with respect to your founder shares in such amount so that the founder shares will continue to represent 25% of your issued and outstanding ordinary shares upon consummation of the offering. Please discuss these provisions and whether they may result in a material dilution of the purchasers' equity interests on the cover page and in the discussions of securities that may become issuable to the sponsor in the section entitled "Our Sponsor" on page 4.

RESPONSE: We have revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 5 and 32, in accordance with the Staff's comment.

2. We note your disclosure regarding the limitation on redemption rights of shareholders holding 15% or more of the shares sold in the offering. Please revise your cover page to also describe the limitation on redemptions if they would cause your net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as disclosed on page 47 and elsewhere in your prospectus.

RESPONSE: The $5,000,001 net tangible asset requirement will not be included in the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and has been removed from pages 51, 70, 118, 145, and 148 and as a result, such disclosure has been revised in accordance with the Staff's comment.

3. We note your disclosure that non-managing sponsor investors will have no obligation to vote any of their public shares in favor of your initial business combination, but that if they purchase all of the public units in which they have expressed interest or otherwise hold a substantial number of public units they will "potentially have different interests than our other public shareholders" in approving a business combination. It would appear that non-managing sponsor investors would have different interests than public shareholders regardless of the number of public shares they own due to their interest in founder shares and private units. Please revise to clarify here and throughout the prospectus where you state that non-managing sponsor investors have no obligation to vote any public shares in favor of a business combination.

RESPONSE : We have revised the cover page, and pages 27, 30, 35 and 40, in accordance with the Staff's comment.

This should include disclosure regarding completed business combinations, liquidated SPACs, pending de-SPAC transaction and any SPACs still searching for a target.

RESPONSE : We have revised the disclosure on pages 4, 16, 45, 89, 135, in accordance with the Staff's comment.
