We read your response to prior comment 6. Excerpts from Tether's terms of service
state:
•The composition of the Reserves used to back Tether Tokens is within the sole
control and at the sole and absolute discretion of Tether.
In order to cause Tether Tokens to be issued or redeemed directly by Tether, you •1.
October 10, 2024
Page 2
must be a verified customer of Tether. No exceptions will be made to this
provision.
•Tether reserves the right to delay the redemption or withdrawal of Tether Tokens
if such delay is necessitated by the illiquidity or unavailability or loss of any
Reserves held by Tether to back the Tether Tokens, and Tether reserves the right
to redeem Tether Tokens by in-kind redemptions of securities and other assets
held in the Reserves.
You do not appear to be a verified customer of Tether. In addition, Tether has non-
financial assets in its Reserves, such as precious metals, bitcoins and other
investments that a customer could receive upon an in-kind redemption. Accordingly,
it appears your USDT represents a non-financial asset. Please restate your financial
statements and revise your disclosures surrounding USDT throughout the filing
accordingly. Refer to ASC 350-30. Please also make arrangements with your auditors
for them to revise their report to include an explanatory paragraph (immediately
following the opinion paragraph), stating the previously issued financial statements
have been restated for the correction of a misstatement and referencing the Note to the
financial statements, where the restatement is described. Refer to paragraphs .09 and
.16 of PCAOB AS 2820. Finally, revise your financial statements to label them as
restated and provide the footnote disclosures required by ASC 250-10-50-7 through
50-11. In the restatement footnote, clearly disclose (a) the nature of the error and (b)
the effect of the error correction by presenting the as originally reported amount, the
error correction amount and the as restated amount for each financial statement line
item that changed.
Please contact Suying Li at 202-551-3335 or Rufus Decker at 202-551-3769 if you
have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please

you considered that in your conclusion. Furthermore, tell us in detail how you concluded
USDT qualifies as a cash equivalent under ASC 230.

4.We note your disclosure that the increase in corporate services income in the six months
ended March 31, 2023, as well as in fiscal year 2022, "was driven primarily by
strengthening across our core businesses as borders that had been closed in reaction to
COVID . . . ." Please revise to reconcile with your disclosure on page 18 that "a
substantial amount of our corporate services income for the year ended September 30,
2022 were provided by two one-off transactions that are not expected to recur." Also
reconcile with your disclosure on page 50 that the increase in gross profit margin for the
six months ended March 31, 2023 was driven in-part by "a substantial one-off transaction,
valued at US$ 500,000." Last, to the extent that your historical results have been
materially impacted by one-off transactions that are not expected to recur, please revise
throughout your prospectus, and particularly in your risk factors and Business section, to
clarify that your historical results may not be indicative of your future business and related
income given that your historical corporate services income appears to be comprised in-
part of such one-off transactions. For example, revise your risk factor heading entitled
"Our historical growth rate . . . " to prominently highlight the one-off transactions.
5.You attribute the increase in gross profit margin in the six months ended March 31, 2023
to several factors. However, these factors do not appear to fully explain the entire
increase. Please describe and quantify the material factors for all portions contributing to
the increase in gross profit margin.

10.Where you disclose that you had 87 clients in Fiscal 2022, please prominently highlight
that you received a substantial portion of your corporate services income from your two
largest customers, as you state on page 65 and in your risk factors on page
19. Additionally, please revise to clarify the current state of your customer relationships
and disclose that the prior one-off transactions with your major customers are not
expected to recur, if true. In this regard, your disclosure on page 42 further indicates that
your client base changed, as you state that "[p]rior to July 2022, our headquarters were
located in Hong Kong and the majority of our business was booked out of Hong Kong."
Such disclosure also notes that that you have since moved your headquarters to Singapore
and that the corporate services income generated in Hong Kong was significantly reduced
from approximately $1.5 million for fiscal year 2022 to $340 thousand in the six months
ended March 31, 2023.
11.Where you discuss Fiscal 2022 metrics throughout the prospectus, please revise to provide
comparable disclosure for Fiscal 2021, so as to balance such disclosure as you do on page
63 where you discuss your clients in Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022 with respect to financial
licensing services. As examples only, we further note your disclosure on page 64 that
"[i]n Fiscal 2022 we helped 72 clients incorporate companies in 11 distinct jurisdictions,"

the year." Revise to clarify whether you mean your income attributed to corporate
secretarial services as opposed to more generally your income, as it does not appear that
either your corporate secretarial services income, or income from incorporation services,
generated the majority of your income in Fiscal 2021 or Fiscal 2022. Additionally,
provide the percentage of income generated from incorporation services compared to your
total corporate services income, to balance your disclosure pertaining to income from
licensing consultancy services in the first paragraph on page 64.
13.We note your disclosure of the number of employees as of March 31, 2023, as well as
your breakdown of your corporate services income by geographic location for the

and 2022. Revise to provide such information for the last three financial years in
