              Filed October 10, 2024

              File No. 000-56643

      Dear Ms. Bednarowski:

      Set forth below are the responses of Exodus Movement, Inc. (“Exodus” or the “Company”), in response to the comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Division of Corporation Finance
        (the “Staff”) contained in your letter, dated October 31, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”), regarding the above-referenced Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form 10-12G, (as amended by Amendment No. 4, the “Registration Statement”). The
        Staff’s comments are set forth below, followed by the Company’s response. For ease of reference, the heading and numbered paragraphs below correspond to the heading and numbered comments in the Comment Letter and, in certain instances, if the
        Staff’s comment contained multiple parts, the Staff’s comment was separated into subparts to more effectively respond to each of the Staff’s comments. The Company’s responses are set forth beneath the Staff comments, which are set out in bold type.
        We are concurrently submitting via EDGAR this letter and Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to the Registration Statement.

      Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form 10-12G

      Business

      Our Products and Services, page 4

                1.

                We note news articles about your partnerships with Blockchain.com and Ledger Live. Please revise to add disclosure regarding the XO Swap and Passkey Wallet & SDK products offered on
                  your platform and, to the extent your agreements with Blockchain.com and Ledger Live are material, please revise to disclose the material terms of these agreements. Please refer to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

        1

      The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 5 accordingly. Please refer to pages 5 and 8.

      The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company does not believe that the agreements with Blockchain.com or Ledger Live are material or that its business is substantially dependent on
        either agreement. The agreements with Blockchain.com and Ledger Live are of the type that ordinarily accompanies the type of business conducted by the Company, and the Company is not substantially dependent upon either agreement.  The financial
        terms of each agreement are immaterial in amount and significance to the Company’s financial statements. In addition, neither agreement contains any exclusive licenses or contains any milestone or royalty obligations.

      Pricing Information Offered Directly on the Exodus Platform, page 5

                2.

                We note your response to prior comment 1. Please revise your disclosure on page 5 to describe what qualifies as a “material” variance.

      The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 5 to describe what qualifies as a “material” variance. Please refer to page 5.

      Also revise to disclose, if true, that, if a material variance occurs between the primary and secondary providers without a material variance between the primary
          provider and the tertiary provider, the platform continues to display the primary provider’s updated pricing information.

        The Exodus Platform does not check for the existence of a material variance (15%) between the primary provider and the tertiary provider. This is because the Exodus Platform
          already checks (a) the primary provider’s pricing information against the secondary provider’s pricing information and (b) the secondary provider’s pricing information against the tertiary provider’s pricing information. Thus, in a situation
          where the primary provider’s pricing information differs from the secondary provider’s pricing information, the Company believes that the lack of a material variance between the secondary provider and the tertiary provider is sufficient support
          for the Exodus Platform to show the secondary provider’s price without conducting an additional check between the primary provider and the tertiary provider.

          However, as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Exodus Platform does check for widespread variances, considered to exist if there is a 2% variance in price across
            the primary and secondary providers and the additional verification source (e.g., due to a widespread outage across multiple service providers). In this situation, the Exodus Platform will continue to show the primary provider’s most recently
            available price before the 2% widespread variance occurred and until such 2% widespread variance no longer exists.

                We note your response to prior comment 2. Please disclose the custody arrangements for users’ assets held in lightning wallets provided by Wallet of Satoshi and disclose the risks to
                  users in the event that Wallet of Satoshi experiences insolvency or bankruptcy.

      The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 5 accordingly. Please refer to pages 11, 21 and 32.

      Human Capital Management

      Cryptocurrency Payroll Process, page 14

                4.

                We note your response to prior comment 5. Please revise your disclosure on page 14 to describe how CryptoCompare calculates the bitcoin spot rate.

        2

      The Company respectfully advises the Staff that, given the technical nature of the bitcoin spot rate calculation and in light of the Company’s lack of involvement in such calculation, the Company
        is not in a position to provide disclosure that describes with sufficient certainty the technical processes and mechanics that underpin CryptoCompare’s calculation of its bitcoin spot rate.

      As disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Company contracts with Gilded Inc. (“Gilded”) to help administer the Company’s bulk cryptocurrency payments system; in turn, Gilded contracts with
        CryptoCompare. This means the Company is not in direct privity of contract with CryptoCompare for this payroll function and therefore does not have contractual rights to access and is not otherwise privy to information regarding CryptoCompare’s
        bitcoin spot rate mechanics.  However, in an effort to address any underlying concerns of the Staff with respect to CryptoCompare’s calculations and how this may impact the Company’s payroll function, the Company respectfully notes that the Company
        discloses to its employees and non-U.S. independent contractors that CryptoCompare is Gilded’s source for the bitcoin spot rate, and employees and non-U.S. independent contractors can compare CryptoCompare’s pricing data to other global pricing
        providers if they so choose. To date, the Company has not received any complaints from employees or non-U.S. independent contractors regarding CryptoCompare’s bitcoin spot rate calculation.

      KYC and KYB Programs

      KYB Program For API Providers and Vendors, page 18

                5.

                We note your response to prior comment 7. Please identify the third party that performs the KYB analyses of your API Providers and vendors as well as the material terms of the agreement
                  with the third party.

      The Company engages multiple third parties to assist with its Know your Business (KYB) analyses of API Providers and vendors. Specifically, the Company utilizes and relies on tools from
        Chainalysis, a blockchain analysis firm, Veriff, an identity verification platform, and ComplyAdvantage, an entity that performs sanctions and adverse media screenings. The Company has revised Amendment No. 5 to identify these third-party providers
        and to disclose that such agreements are standard commercial agreements entered into by the Company in the normal course. Please refer to page 19.

      In response to the Staff’s request to identify the material terms of these agreements, the Company notes that these agreements provide for the provision of services for an agreed-upon term and may
        renew automatically for a one-year period, or a period equal to the expiring service period, unless either party provides notice of its intent to not renew the agreement. In addition, the agreements may be terminated by either party for a material
        breach which remains uncured following thirty days’ notice, or where continued performance of the agreement would violate applicable law or regulatory requirements, or in the event of the Company’s insolvency or inability to pay its debts.

        3

       In addition, please describe your internal KYB policy, including the various procedures for documenting, reporting and responding to potential violations of applicable
        sanctions rules, along with the procedures for assessing business relationships with API Providers or vendors that have been the subject of sanction violations.

      The Company’s KYB policy outlines various procedures for documenting, reporting and responding to potential violations of applicable sanctions rules. For example, it is Company policy that Exodus’
        full-time equivalents identify potential “red flags” that may violate the Company’s sanctions policy. These red flags, along with other suspicious activities, must be reported to Exodus’ legal and compliance teams. Once reported, the Company will
        conduct an internal investigation of potential violations of sanctions rules, including by gathering information from internal and third-party sources, analyzing facts surrounding the potential violation, assessing risk to the Company, and taking
        appropriate next steps with regards to such party, including, where appropriate, terminating the business relationship and/or reporting to the Office of Foreign Assets Control, or another relevant regulatory body.

      Our Chief Compliance Officer, who is the dedicated sanctions compliance officer under the Company’s policy, must provide regular reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors confirming
        compliance with sanctions obligations, including highlighting any issues that arise and noting actions taken in response. Copies of all submissions to regulatory authorities and related documentation must be maintained indefinitely or as required
        by the relevant regulatory body.

                6.

                Your revised disclosure on pages 57 and 58 that Common Stock Tokens are analogous to paper stock certificates conflicts with your disclosure on page 58 that the Class A common stock is a
                  security whose ownership is recorded solely on the books of our transfer agent and the Common Stock Tokens give no ownership interest in the Class A common stock. Please revise to remove the analogy to paper stock certificates or advise.

      The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has removed the analogy to paper stock certificates.

      Digital Format Exodus Common Stock
      The Role of Securitize, page 58

                7.

                We note your response to prior comment 10. On pages 58 and 59, you state that “[e]ach share of Class A common stock has a corresponding Common Stock Token ...” and that “[i]f a record
                  holder of shares of Class A common stock chooses not to self-custody the corresponding Common Stock Tokens, then such holder’s Common Stock Tokens will be held in her name by Securitize.” Please disclose how Securitize transfers the
                  Common Stock Tokens it holds for the Class A stockholders when a Class A stockholder sells shares of Class A common stock.

      The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 5 accordingly. Please refer to pages 60-62.

      In addition, we note your revised disclosure that “[i]n the event of discrepancy, Securitize will investigate such discrepancy and take actions to resolve it, including, but
        not limited to, the reversal of any transactions as the facts and circumstances may warrant.” Please disclose how Securitize can reverse a transaction on the Algorand blockchain.

      The Company respectfully submits that Securitize is registered as a transfer agent under Section 17A(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and that as a registered
        transfer agent, Securitize must comply with Section 17A’s various reporting, recordkeeping, and other requirements in the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 17Ad-10, which serves as a basis for reversing transactions to rectify
        administrative or clerical errors, and Rule 17Ad-11, which requires transfer agents to monitor for record-keeping discrepancies and allows for corrective actions when material discrepancies are found. While the Company is not in a position to opine
        on logistical matters regarding how Securitize complies with its legal obligations, including those under Section 17A, to the Company’s knowledge, Securitize has sufficient controls with respect to the Common Stock Tokens to perform its role as an
        SEC registered Transfer Agent.

      With respect to the Algorand blockchain specifically, the Algorand standard assets allow Securitize to represent any asset on the Algorand blockchain. These standard assets are built into the
        Layer-1 architecture of the Algorand blockchain but are structured in a way that allows Securitize to represent and manage assets on the blockchain platform. In other words, the Algorand standard assets provide a management framework that allows
        Securitize to perform its role as an SEC-registered transfer agent with respect to the Common Stock Tokens. If Securitize was not able to use the Algorand Blockchain in a manner that allowed it to fulfill its legal obligations as an SEC-registered
        transfer agent, we understand that Securitize would  utilize a different blockchain for the Common Stock Tokens that allowed it to comply with its legal obligations as an SEC-registered transfer agent.

        5

      We also note your disclosure on page 59 that, “[w]hile Securitize’s Digital Securities Protocol ... itself is not used on the Algorand blockchain because the Algorand
        blockchain does not support it, Securitize utilizes the Algorand standard assets and internal procedures to govern the Common Stock Tokens that exist on the Algorand blockchain ....” Please add a risk factor that addresses the potential impact to
        Securitize’s ability to utilize the DS Protocol Equivalent to govern the Common Stock Tokens due to modifications of the Algorand blockchain.

      The Company respectfully notes that it is not aware of any material risks that make an investment in Exodus speculative or risky relating to potential modifications of the Algorand blockchain and
        any corresponding impact such modifications may have on Securitize’s governance of the Common Stock Tokens.

      Securitize is an SEC-registered transfer agent under Section 17A(c) of the Exchange Act and subject to the legal requirements applicable thereto. The Company acknowledges that the Common Stock
        Tokens are novel; however, as the Registration Statement clearly discloses, these Common Stock Tokens

we continue to consider your response and we may have further comments.
We note your response to prior comment 14. Please respond to the following:
•You told us that although your base subscription contracts call for payment in
BTC or USDC, the contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars and you recognize
revenue at the U.S. dollar amount as that amount constitutes the transaction
price. Please walk us through a typical subscription-based transaction, explaining
the process to us more fully, focusing on how and when you measure the value of
noncash consideration and the source of the estimated fair value.
You told us that for both transaction-based and subscription-based agreements, all
criteria of ASC 606-10-25-1 are fully met at the date of signing the contract with
the API Provider.
Tell us how you considered that fact in your accounting under ASC 606-10-
32-21. For example, you told us that in the table provided in response to prior
comment 23 in which you provided us a walkthrough of a typical transaction,
your reference to contract inception was to the inception of the swap contract
between the user and the API Provider. Tell us why you determined that the
timing of inception for purposes of applying ASC 606-10-32-21 o•11.

October 31, 2024
Page 4
is the inception of the swap contract between the user and the API
Provider and not the inception of the contract between you and your
customer, the API Provider.  Tell us whether you are a party to the contract
between the user and the API Provider.
•Tell us how your accounting considered ASC 606-10-32-11.
oFor subscription-based contracts, clarify whether or not you constrain
your estimate of variable consideration for those contracts:
If you constrain your estimate of variable consideration, tell us when you
no longer apply a constraint (i.e., the uncertainty is resolved). Provide an
example.
Revise your disclosure to clarify whether or not you constrain your
estimate.
oFor transaction-based contracts, you told us receipt is the point in time when
constraint of your estimate no longer exists. Tell us the timing of receipt of
payment for those transactions.
oQuantify for us the amount of any adjustments to the transaction price you
have made in a subsequent accounting period (i.e., quarter) for the periods
presented.
            We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.

    Set forth below are the responses of Exodus Movement, Inc. (“Exodus” or the “Company”), in response to the comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
      (the “SEC”) Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) contained in your letter, dated September 25, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”), regarding the above-referenced Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form 10-12G, (as amended by Amendment
      No. 3, the “Registration Statement”), as well as the above-referenced Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended June 30, 2024. The Staff’s comments are set forth below, followed by the Company’s response. For ease of reference, the heading and
      numbered paragraphs below correspond to the heading and numbered comments in the Comment Letter and, in certain instances, if the Staff’s comment contained multiple parts, the Staff’s comment was separated into subparts to more effectively respond to
      each of the Staff’s comments. The Company’s responses are set forth beneath the Staff comments, which are set out in bold type. We are concurrently submitting via EDGAR this letter and Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Registration
      Statement.

    Pricing Information Offered Directly on the Exodus Platform, page 5

              1.

              We note your revised disclosure on page 5 in response to prior comment 4 that you compare the primary or secondary pricing provider’s price to
                the price provided by other providers. Please clarify how you determine whether to use the price of the primary or secondary pricing provider. In addition, please identify the “other providers” you currently use and disclose how you select
                the other providers.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to page 5.

    Services Offered and Performed by Our API Providers, page 5

              2.

              We note your revised disclosure on page 6 in response to prior comment 5. Please include a footnote to explain what the years included in your
                table for Everstake and the Wallet of Satoshi indicate.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to pages 6 and 7.

    In addition, we note that the table states that Hedera Hashgraph provides a “hosting fee” and that Lightning provides “P2P
      Sending/Receiving.” Please revise to describe these services and disclose the material terms of your agreements with the API Providers, if material.

    Wallet of Satoshi and the Lightning Wallet Function

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 to provide additional detail with respect to the services provided by Wallet
      of Satoshi in connection with the Lightning wallet function on the Exodus Platform. For clarity, the Lightning wallet on the Exodus Platform is provided by Wallet of Satoshi, a custodial third-party API provider. Please refer to pages 6 and 7.

    Our disclosure on pages 5-6 of Amendment No. 3 discloses the material terms of the Company’s agreements with our API Providers. The Company respectfully
      advises the Staff that the Company does not believe that the API Agreement with Wallet of Satoshi is material or that its business is substantially dependent on its API Agreement with Wallet of Satoshi. The API Agreement with Wallet of Satoshi is of
      the type that ordinarily accompanies the kind of business conducted by the Company and the Company is not substantially dependent upon the API Agreement, and the financial terms of the API Agreement are immaterial in amount and significance to the
      Company’s financial condition. In addition, the API Agreement does not contain any exclusive licenses or contain any milestone or royalty obligations. Nonetheless, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the form of international API
      agreement has been attached as an exhibit to the Registration Statement since our initial filing on February 28, 2024 and that, except for commercial pricing information, the material terms of the API Agreement with Wallet of Satoshi are generally
      consistent with the form of API agreement attached as exhibit 10.3 to the Registration Statement.

    Hedera Hashgraph

    With respect to Hedera Hashgraph, the Company has removed Hedera Hashgraph from the API Provider table appearing on page 6 of the Registration Statement.
      Hedera Hashgraph is not an API Provider that provides services to Exodus’ users; rather, Exodus provides services to Hedera Hashgraph. Specifically, Hedera Hashgraph pays Exodus a per node yearly hosting fee to offset Exodus’ costs to support the
      Hedera blockchain (HBAR) on the Exodus Platform. The Company’s agreement with Hedera Hashgraph is immaterial in amount and significance to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

    Also, the URL disclosed on page 6 opens the “Exodus Terms of Use” document, which does not include an appendix of all API providers and
      does not appear to be updated on a quarterly basis as it indicates that it was last updated on February 19, 2024. We also note that you disclose that the URL opens the “Terms of Service” document and not the “Exodus Terms of Use” document. Please
      revise your disclosure accordingly.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to page 6.

       Exchange Aggregation, page 6

              3.

              We note your revised disclosure on page 7 in response to prior comment 3 that the user transfers its crypto assets to the API Provider in
                connection with the Exchange Aggregator transactions. Please disclose whether the API Provider fee includes the costs associated with transferring the crypto assets from the user’s wallet to the API Provider. In addition, we note your
                response in your August 26, 2024 correspondence that you do not know the exchanges or platforms that the API Providers use for crypto asset transactions or the jurisdictions of such exchanges and platforms. Please revise to disclose this
                information here in your registration statement and also expand to discuss the risks to Exodus Movement and to the users of the Exchange Aggregator that such information is unknown.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to pages 8-9 and 31.

    Fiat on and off-ramps, page 7

              4.

              We note your response to prior comment 6. Please disclose how your platform communicates (i) the fiat currencies that users may use to purchase
                crypto assets and (ii) the crypto assets that users may exchange for fiat currencies. If users are only able to obtain such information by leaving the Exodus Platform and going to each API Provider’s platform, please disclose.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to pages 8 and 9.

    In addition, we note your disclosure that you do not know the KYC/AML procedures that the API Provider uses or the exchanges, market
      makers, aggregation protocols and other factors related to how the API Provider conducts the services it provides to your users. Please expand your disclosure to address the risks this causes for you and your users.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to page 31.

    In addition, please disclose the fees charged for such services and whether the fees include the transfer costs associated with the
      transfer of crypto assets.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to pages 8 and 9.

       Human Capital Management, page 13

              5.

              Refer to your response to prior comment 11. We note your disclosure on page 13 that the basis for employees is U.S. dollars and the amount owed
                is settled in bitcoin at the time of payment. Please revise to also disclose the basis for payment for non-U.S. independent contractors.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to pages 14 and 15.

    In addition, please disclose how many “employees” you have and the number of employees that are “eligible employees” pursuant to the
      agreement with TriNet. Also disclose whether the TriNet agreement includes the human resources administration for the other FTEs, including the non-U.S. independent contractors, and, if so, please disclose the material terms of the agreement that
      pertains to the non-U.S. independent contractors.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to page 14. The term “eligible employees” is a term
      specific to the Company’s agreement with TriNet and was included in the Registration Statement to clarify that the Company’s agreement with TriNet does not include human resources administration or any other services for non-U.S. independent
      contractors or any other full time equivalents. However, because all employees are “eligible employees,” meaning that all of the Company’s employees have acknowledged TriNet’s terms and conditions and have provided TriNet with proper Form I-9
      documentation to verify their identity and employment authorization, the Company has removed the references to “eligible employees” from Amendment No. 4 for clarity.

    In addition, please disclose how the CryptoCompare Bitcoin/U.S. Dollar spot rate is calculated and disclose how you determine the amount
      of bitcoin to pay the non-U.S. independent contractors.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to page 14.

    Regulatory Environment, page 14

              6.

              We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 13 that the jurisdictions material to your business based on user transaction volume
                are the United States, Great Britain, Canada and Germany. Please expand your disclosure in this section to also describe the rules, regulations and laws of the material jurisdictions in which you earn revenue from your API Providers, and
                revise your risk factors section to address such jurisdictions. In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 43.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully notes for the Staff that the Company is currently not aware of any rules, regulations and
      laws in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands and the Seychelles which have or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business, either directly, or indirectly through the Company’s business with
      API Providers. The Company continues to regularly monitor rules, regulations and laws in these and other applicable jurisdictions, and will update its disclosure in the future as appropriate to describe the material effects that compliance with
      government regulations may have on the Company’s business.

                Please revise to qualify your use of this term by clarifying that such markets may be subject to regulation in a relevant jurisdiction but may not be complying.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 4 accordingly. Please refer to page 25.

    Legal Proceedings, page 48

              9.

              We note your response to prior comment 19. Please revise here to disclose the alleged violations of U.S. sanctions laws and the impact if you are
                found to be in violation of U.S. sanctions laws. In this regard, we note your revised disclosure on pages 38 and 39.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that, as of the date of this letter, we do not believe that disclosure is required under
      Item 103 of Regulation S-K, as we do not consider the matter in question to be material. As disclosed in the Registration Statement, in June 2024, OFAC issued a Pre-Penalty Notice informing the Company that OFAC intends to impose a civil monetary
      penalty for alleged violations of U.S. sanctions laws based on the free downloading of our wallet software and the provision of free customer support. We submitted a response to the Pre-Penalty Notice, which asserts a range of factual and legal
      defenses to these highly novel allegations. In August 2024, we received a follow-up Request for Information from OFAC, which suggests that OFAC is continuing to consider the arguments raised in our response. Given the stage of the proceeding, the
      nature of the allegations, and the facts underlying them, it is our judgment, which is informed by legal advice from outside counsel, that the OFAC matter is not material, either from a qualitative or quantitative standpoint. We understand our
      disclosure obligations and the liability framework in which they arise. If, in our judgment, this matter were to become material in the future, then we will timely disclose it in the next periodic report, either pursuant to Part I, Item 3 of Form
      10-K or Part II, Item 1 of Form 10-Q, as the case may be.

              We note your response to prior comment 20. On page 56, you disclose that “[t]he Common Stock Tokens are not relevant to the clearance and
                settlement process for the purchase and sale of the Class A common stock,” but it appears that the Class A Common Stock can be transferred using the tokens and that the transfer agent may be bound by any such transfer. In your description
                of a “peer to peer” transfer of Class A common stock utilizing Common Stock Tokens on page 57, it appears that the transfer of Class A common stock will not occur until Securitize’s validation process is complete, the Securitize DS Standard
                protocol has approved the transfer of the Common Stock Tokens and the Common Stock Tokens are transferred. Please revise the description of the “peer-to-peer” transfer of Class A common stock utilizing Common Stock Tokens and your

the criteria in paragraph 606-10-25-1 are met) and the duration of your contracts with

Non-GAAP Financial Measure , page 20
16.We note your responses to prior comment 24. In your disclosure, you state your belief that
Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating your operating performance. In your response,
you told us that the measure facilitates an analysis of the underlying trends in your
financial results based on your core operations and management of ongoing cash
operating expenses. Tell us, and revise future filings as applicable, why you believe
an adjustment to exclude the  loss (gain) on digital assets, net  results in a measure that is
useful in evaluating your operating performance and facilitates an analysis of the
underlying trends in your financial results based on your core operations and management
of ongoing cash operating expenses. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(C) of Regulation S-K.
17.We note your responses to prior comment 25. We note that, following the adoption of
ASU 2023-08, the crypto assets you hold are measured at fair value with gains and losses
recognized through net income. However, the adjustment for Loss (Gain) on digital
assets, net (post-adoption of ASU 2023-08) has the effect of reversing your adoption of
the new standard for your crypto assets held for investment. Please tell us why you
believe this adjustment is appropriate and how you considered Question 100.04 of the
Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations for Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
We note your responses to prior comment 25. You told us in your response that you do
not believe the volatility of digital assets is “inherent” to your operations; rather, once the
market for digital assets is mature, then such volatility should significantly diminish. We 18.

September 25, 2024
Page 6
note your disclosure on page 22 that a large portion of your operating revenue generated
from API providers is received in bitcoin and a decline in the market price of digital assets
had (and could in the future, have) an adverse effect on your operations, the value of your
digital assets, and your future operations and cash flows. Thus, your adjustment to remove
the impairments on digital currencies in your calculation of non-GAAP Adjusted
EBITDA for periods prior to your adoption of ASU 2023-08 results in the exclusion of
normal, recurring operating expenses. Refer to question 100.01 of the Compliance and
Disclosure Interpretations for Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Please revise the
reconciliation of your non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA in future filings to remove the
adjustments for impairments on digital currencies and realized gain on sale of digital
currencies.
            We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.

    Dear Ms. Bednarowski:

    Set forth below are the responses of Exodus Movement, Inc. (“Exodus” or the “Company”), in response to the comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Division of
      Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) contained in your letter, dated August 12, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”), regarding the above-referenced Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form 10-12G, (as amended by Amendment No. 2, the “Registration
      Statement”), as well as the above-referenced Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2024. The Staff’s comments are set forth below, followed by the Company’s response. For ease of reference, the heading and numbered paragraphs below
      correspond to the heading and numbered comments in the Comment Letter and, in certain instances, if the Staff’s comment contained multiple parts, the Staff’s comment was separated into subparts to more effectively respond to each of the Staff’s
      comments. The Company’s responses are set forth beneath the Staff comments, which are set out in bold type. We are concurrently submitting via EDGAR this letter and Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Registration Statement.

    Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form 10-12G

    Business, page 1

          1.

            We note your revised disclosure on pages 4 and 12 in response to prior comment 2. Please revise your disclosure on pages 4 and 12 to clarify that the crypto assets you support and provide access
              to services for have been identified as securities in SEC complaints. In addition, please revise your disclosure on page 12 to describe the policies and processes you have in place to determine whether the services that users can obtain from
              your API Providers are securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to pages 4 and 16.

    Our Products and Services

    Products Offered Directly on the Exodus Platform, page 4

          2.

            Refer to your response to prior comment 16. Please revise your disclosure on page 4 to provide examples of the factors you consider to determine whether supporting a fork “makes sense for [y]our
              business and [y]our users.”

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to page 5.

    Exchange Aggregation, page 5

          3.

            Refer to your response to comment 12. Please identify the exchanges and DeFi platforms that the API Provider uses for crypto asset exchanges and the jurisdiction of each.

    As described in Exodus’ responses to prior comments 1 and 5, the process whereby a user connects to a third-party API provider is as follows: “Exodus users connect to the relevant
      API Provider, provide identifying information to the API Provider based on such provider’s onboarding requirements, and then users directly interact with the API Provider with respect to all elements of the exchange or staking service.” Moreover, “once a user connects itself to [an API Provider] and provides onboarding information based on [the API Provider’s] requirements, Exodus has no substantial role in the [provision of services].” Exodus, which in this
      context is a provider of a technological interface and not of the services delivered by the third-party API Provider, understands and expects that users receive from each API Provider any relevant information and disclosures pursuant to the user
      onboarding process and relevant API Provider terms of service, including in relation to the exchange and DeFi platforms that the API Provider uses for exchanges and the jurisdiction of each. Because Exodus is not involved in the user onboarding
      process and does not have a role in the transactions between the API Provider and the user, it is not privy to information about the exchanges and DeFi platforms that an API Provider uses, which Exodus understands may change or be updated from time
      to time, given the dynamics of the digital asset market. However, Exodus generally understands that API providers that deliver exchange services source liquidity from a number of venues, including centralized exchanges, market makers, cross-chain
      bridges, aggregation protocols, and potentially other types of decentralized platforms. API Providers receive jurisdictional information from users during the onboarding process and are responsible for delivering services in compliance with
      applicable law, including with respect to the users’ jurisdictional information disclosed to the API Provider.

      2

    Also clarify how the users are able “to identify for themselves the best pricing, liquidity and order fulfillment by searching across multiple third-party API
      Providers” as it appears that you provide pricing information from pricing services and that, when a user chooses to exchange its crypto assets, an algorithm, and not the user, selects an API Provider.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 to clarify the pricing information received by Exodus’ users, including clarifying that the digital asset
      prices and other relevant market data offered directly on the Exodus Platform are independent from the pricing information presented to users by third-party API Providers in connection with a potential transaction. Please refer to page 5. As noted in
      Amendment No. 3, the Exodus Platform provides users with information regarding digital asset prices and other relevant market data. Exodus does not charge users to access this pricing information. Separate from this pricing service and in connection
      with a potential transaction, Exodus’ users are presented with pricing information from API Providers. For the avoidance of doubt, the digital asset pricing information offered on the Exodus Platform is independent of the pricing presented to users
      by third-party API Providers in connection with a potential transaction. In addition, because the pricing information on the Exodus Platform is made available to any user, users may use the Exodus Platform solely for this pricing information without
      engaging in transactions with our third-party API Providers.

    In addition, please disclose whether the user transfers its crypto assets to the API Provider in connection with the transaction, and please describe how the API
      Provider’s fee is calculated.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to page 7.

    Further, as we note your disclosure that the “aggregation process starts with a pricing service (if available),” please disclose the percentage of transactions for
      which a pricing service is not available.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 to clarify that if a pricing service is not available, exchange aggregation is similarly not available.
      Please refer to page 7.

      3

          4.

            Refer to your response to comments 12 and 13. We note your disclosure that you provide pricing information from Coingecko and Coinmarketcap for each crypto asset supported with the Exchange
              Aggregator and that “an algorithm is employed that compares the primary service’s price to the price provided by other providers to ensure that the information from the primary provider does not vary materially from other sources in order to
              avoid inaccurate data from a single source.” Please identify the primary and secondary providers and disclose what constitutes a material price difference. Also disclose whether the algorithm is continually monitoring the pricing information
              or if it happens at certain times per day. Also describe how you determine which price to display when a material price difference is identified.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to page 5.

    Services Offered and Performed by Our API Providers, page 5

          5.

            Refer to prior comments 11 and 15. You disclose that an updated list of your API providers is available within the Terms of Service located on your website, but the URL you provided in the June
              9, 2024 response letter does not appear to include an updated list of all of your API providers. In this regard, we note that Section 1.5 of the Terms of Service provides examples of the APIs that provide services on your platform but does
              not include a complete list of your API providers. Please revise to disclose where users can find a list of your API providers and include here the table that you provided in response to prior comment 11.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to page 6. The Company has also revised the Terms of Service to incorporate a
      list of all API providers in as an appendix. The revised Terms of Service is available at the following URL: https://www.exodus.com/legal/exodus-tos-20240219-v29.pdf.

    Fiat on and off-ramps, page 6

          6.

            We note your revised disclosure on page 6 that users may buy crypto assets with fiat currency through bank transfers, credit or debit card and Apple Pay and that users may sell crypto assets for
              fiat currency and transfer the currency to their bank account. Please disclose how your platform communicates (i) the fiat currencies that users may use to purchase crypto assets, including the cost of purchasing the crypto assets, and (ii)
              the crypto assets that users may exchange for fiat currencies, including the amount of fiat currency the user will receive for selling the crypto assets.

      4

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to pages 7-8.

    Also identify the jurisdiction of the exchange or exchanges that the API Provider uses to purchase and sell the crypto assets.

    As described in our responses to Comment 3, “once a user connects itself to [an API Provider] and provides onboarding information based on [the API Provider’s] requirements, Exodus
      has no substantial role in the [provision of services].”  Accordingly, Exodus is a provider of a technological interface and not of the services delivered by the third-party API Provider. Because Exodus is not involved in the user onboarding process
      and does not have a role in the transactions between the API Provider and the user, it is not privy to information about the jurisdiction of the exchange or exchanges that the API Provider uses, which Exodus understands may change or be updated from
      time to time, given the dynamics of the digital asset market. However, Exodus generally understands that API providers that deliver exchange services source liquidity from a number of venues, including centralized exchanges, market makers,
      cross-chain bridges, aggregation protocols, and potentially other types of decentralized platforms.

    In addition, please disclose the mechanics of how a user sends, receives and exchanges crypto assets and fiat currencies, including whether the user transfers its
      crypto assets or fiat currency to the API Provider in connection with the transaction.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to pages 7-8.

    Staking, page 6

          7.

            Refer to your response to comment 17. Please revise the table on page 7 to clarify what you mean by the disclosure that, for VeChain and Algorand, unstaking is not required.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to page 9.

      5

    Elevate Technology, page 7

          8.

            We note your revised disclosure on page 7 that “[c]urrently products do exist to permit users to migrate from fiat currency to digital assets; however, they often have poor user interface/user experience (“UI/UX”) designs and require numerous transactions to move between different types of digital assets” but it appears that one of the ways you
                facilitate transfers of crypto assets is by giving users access to third-party exchanges. Please clarify how the use of your platform differs from the use of third-party
                exchanges, and clarify what you mean by your disclosure that “[t]he Exodus Platform is asset agnostic, meaning [that you] have the ability to operate properly irrespective of the type of digital asset as opposed to asset or blockchain
                specific platforms that limit users to a particular asset or blockchain.”

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly, including to remove the disclosure that other products “often have poor user interface/user
      experience (“UI/UX”) designs,” to provide additional detail on how the use of the Exodus platform differs from the use of third-party exchanges and to clarify what is meant by referring to the Exodus Platform is asset
      agnostic, including noting that the Exchange Aggregator functions without requiring an intermediate digital asset. Please refer to pages 9 and 10.

    Digital Asset and Stablecoin Holdings, page 9

          9.

            Refer to your response to comment 18. Please disclose the percentage of private keys that you hold in cold storage. In addition, please disclose whether you have policies regarding the percentage
              of private keys you hold in cold storage and, if so, provide disclosure regarding such policies. In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 10 that “[a]s of March 31, 2024, [you] held approximately 15% of wallets in cold storage.”

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to page 12.

          10.

            Refer to your response to comment 19. Please revise your disclosure, including the table on page 10, to show the amount of USDC held and the splits between fiat currency and crypto assets,
              including USDC, held at each quarter.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Amendment No. 3 accordingly. Please refer to pages 12 and 13.

          11.

            Refer to your response to comment 20. Please revise your disclosure on pages 10 and 11 to disclose whether your non-U.S. independent contractors are paid in fiat currency or crypto assets. In
              addition, please disclose the material terms of your agreement with TriNet, including (i) the term of your agreement with TriNet, (ii) the termination provisions of your agreement with TriNet, (iii) the administrative fee you pay TriNet for
              its services and (iv) whether the administrative fee is paid in U.S. dollars or bitcoin. Also disclose how and when Gilded Inc. values the bitcoin that you use for employee compensation and whether any fees that you pay to Gilded Inc. are
              paid in fiat currency or crypto assets.

to transfer their shares on the books and records.  Please revise your disclosure to clearly
describe the use of the tokens in this manner, including the related risks.  For example
purposes only, if a holder transfers the tokens is that an irrevocable transfer, or, what

We note your responses to our prior comments 33 from our last letter and 43 from our
April 3, 2024 letter.  Please address the following with respect to your Exodus platform:
•Clarify for us whether users can exchange fiat for crypto or vice versa from the
Exodus app.
•Please elaborate on how a wallet is set up in step ii of your response from prior
comment 33.  Specifically, explain to us whether the Exodus app generates a
public/private key pair for the user at this time or whether the user is responsible for
providing that information to the app.
•To the extent the Exodus app creates a private key for the user, tell us whether the
user knows or is aware of the private key at setup.22.

August 12, 2024

•If the private key is not known at setup, clarify whether the user can obtain the private
key from the app and if so how they are able to gain access.
•Explain to us if and how users are able to access their private key or transfer their
private key to a different wallet provider if they lose access to the Exodus app.
•Clarify for us what is meant by the statement in step iii to your response to our prior
comment 33 that "the user takes an action to receive cryptocurrency into their
wallet."  In your response, explain to us whether a user can use an already established
public address/private key with the Exodus app.
•Provide us with the terms of service referenced in step v.
23.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 34. You disclose that you
record noncash consideration when payment is received, the noncash consideration
includes a variable amount, and the amount of noncash consideration differs from the fair
value of the service and thus the variance is treated as an adjustment of the transaction
price. Please respond to the following:
•Walk us through a typical transaction to explain how and when you measure the value
of noncash consideration, including the source of the value.
•Tell us how your accounting considered ASC 606-10-32-21.
•Explain to us why the consideration is variable and whether and how you constrain
your estimate of variable consideration.
•Explain to us why the amount of noncash consideration differs from the fair value of
the service and why the variance is treated as an adjustment of the transaction price.
Cite the accounting guidance applied and explain how you applied the guidance to
your facts and circumstances.

    Dear Ms. Bednarowski:

    Set forth below are the responses of Exodus Movement, Inc. (“Exodus” or the “Company”), in response to the comments of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) contained in your
      letter, dated June 11, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”), regarding the above-referenced Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form 10-12G, (as amended by Amendment No. 1, the “Registration Statement”). The Staff’s comments are set forth below,
      followed by the Company’s response. For ease of reference, the heading and numbered paragraphs below correspond to the heading and numbered comments in the Comment Letter and, in certain instances, if the Staff’s comment contained multiple parts, the
      Staff’s comment was separated into subparts to more effectively respond to each of the Staff’s comments. The Company’s responses are set forth beneath the Staff comments, which are set out in bold type. We are concurrently submitting via EDGAR this
      letter and Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Registration Statement.

    General

          1.

            Refer to your response to comment 24. We note your website indicates that the platform users can stake crypto assets and enable “Auto Restaking” on select assets. Please revise to provide disclosure regarding the
              Auto Restaking program and the crypto assets to which the program pertains. Please also provide us with your legal analysis as to how your activities supporting staking are executed in compliance with the federal securities laws, including
              why these activities do not involve the offer and sale of securities under Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act. In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 24. In responding to this comment, please address and provide us copies of all
              agreements relating to these activities, including user agreements and agreements with Everstake.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised page 6 of Amendment No. 2 to describe the “Auto Restaking” program and the digital assets to which the program pertains.

    In response to the Staff’s comment requesting legal analysis relating to Exodus’ “activities supporting staking,” the Company respectfully submits that (1) Everstake’s activities do not involve the
      offer and sale of securities under Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act and (2) even if Everstake’s services were deemed to involve the offer and sale of securities, Exodus is not a “statutory underwriter” under Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities
      Act. This response, including the applicable legal analysis, is based on the Company’s view of its relationship with Everstake, which it understands is generally consistent with Everstake’s view.

          I.

             Everstake’s services do not involve the offer and sale of securities under Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act

    As discussed in its Amended Registration Statement, Exodus does not have a staking function.  Rather, Exodus provides connectivity to Everstake, which offers staking services.  As a result of this connectivity, Exodus users can access the
      Everstake platform and take self-custodied digital assets from the Exodus’ wallet and “stake” supported digital assets on the Everstake platform.  Exodus’ association with Everstake is limited to the commercial arrangement set forth in the API
      Agreement between the two parties. Exodus does not have an equity ownership in Everstake, and Everstake does not have an equity ownership in Exodus. Exodus is not affiliated with Everstake, and Everstake does not control or otherwise influence
      Exodus’ operations.

    The definition of a “security” under the Securities Act does not include crypto staking activities, but it includes “investment contracts.” The Howey test is used to define an investment contract and
      consists of three prongs: (i) an investment of money, (ii) in a common enterprise, (iii) with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others. As outlined below, the Company believes that Everstake’s staking services are
      not an “investment contract” and are distinguishable from other staking services that the Commission has alleged involve the offer and sale of securities under Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act.

          A.

            Description of Everstake’s Services

    The following reflects the Company’s understanding of Everstake’s staking services. Everstake is a staking validator that verifies transactions to support the consensus process for various digital assets on behalf of digital asset holders that use
      Everstake’s services. Rather than users becoming validators themselves, Everstake acts as the validator for multiple blockchain networks, allowing users to stake their digital assets without running their own validator nodes. Nodes are key to
      blockchain networks because they are devices that run the blockchain protocol’s software by validating transactions and securing the network. Nodes also broadcast transactions to the rest of the network. Everstake’s platform enables users to use the
      validation features of a blockchain network without having to individually build the technological infrastructure or own a large sum of crypto assets to support a node.

          B.

            Exodus does not play a substantial role in Everstake’s staking process.

    Everstake is a staking service provider that pays Exodus a subscription-based fee, based on the amount of assets staked by users, for the ability to connect to the Exodus Platform and interact with users. Exodus does not have any contact with,
      control over, or ability to take control of any digital assets that a user stakes through the Everstake platform. In contrast to the staking functions of certain competitor wallets such as MetaMask, Exodus maintains no substantial role in the staking
      process. Exodus does not in any way handle or transfer assets on behalf of any user. Instead, Exodus users directly interact with Everstake. Exodus users are not offered “liquid staking,” and in no case does an Exodus user receive a token or other
      asset that enables use of a staked asset before such asset is unstaked.

          C.

            Everstake’s staking services are not an “investment contract” and are distinguishable from other staking services that the Commission has alleged involve the offer and sale of
              securities.

    Everstake’s services to users do not involve the offer or sale of a security. As noted above, the definition of a “security” under the Securities Act does not include crypto staking activities, but it includes “investment contracts,” i.e.,
      instruments through which a person invests money in a common enterprise and reasonably expects profits or returns derived from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others.3

    On March 27, 2024, in SEC. v. Coinbase, the District Court denied in part Coinbase, Inc.’s (“Coinbase”) motion for judgment on the pleadings with respect to the
      SEC’s claims that Coinbase has operated as an unregistered securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency and has engaged in an unregistered offer and sale of securities through Coinbase’s staking program. This decision was rendered in response to
      a motion to dismiss and based on the preliminary nature of the proceedings in this case, the outcome of this matter, whether or not Coinbase’s staking program is a security, remains uncertain. Whether staking is a security under the federal
      securities laws is a highly fact-intensive analysis, and in the cases brought by the SEC, federal district courts across the United States are grappling with these questions with each defendant party to such proceedings coming to analyses and
      conclusions at odds with the positions being asserted by the SEC. Assuming, arguendo, that some of these staking services are deemed to be securities, Everstake’s staking services are distinguishable from other staking services that the Commission
      has alleged involve the offer and sale of securities.

    Everstake’s program does not involve an investment of money because Everstake’s users retain custody and control over their own assets and there is no exchange for value.

    The SEC’s complaint against Payward (which does business as Kraken) stated, in relevant part, that:

    Investors put their crypto assets at risk as part of the Kraken Staking Program. Defendants have control over all the crypto assets invested in the Kraken Staking Program and choose when and how to
      use them. (As explained above, Defendants do not actually stake all crypto assets received from investors.) Moreover, according to the Kraken Terms of Service, these crypto assets may be encumbered by Kraken’s creditors. . . .Defendants market the
      Kraken Staking Program’s advantage of “instant unbonding” and instant return of “staked” crypto assets. But, as noted above, Defendants do not disclose the extent of their crypto-asset reserves and whether these reserves are sufficient to meet all
      redemption demands. If these reserves are insufficient, Kraken may be unable to honor a redemption request in a timely fashion, if at all. Investors could suffer market losses if the value of their crypto assets declines while waiting for redemption.4

    Everstake’s users retain custody and control over their own assets – they do not transfer their assets to Everstake (and Exodus does not have any contact with, control over, or ability to take control of any digital assets that a user stakes).5 When staking is alleged to meet the Howey test, the first prong is typically tied to the digital asset having been purchased or
      otherwise acquired in exchange for value, whether in the form of fiat currency, another digital asset, or other type of consideration. Because users do not transfer their assets to Everstake, there is no exchange for value. Because there is no
      exchange for value, the first prong of Howey – that is typically tied to a digital asset having been purchased or otherwise acquired in exchange for value – is not met. Because the first prong of Howey is not met, the Company believes that Everstake’s program does not involve “an investment of money” under Howey.

            3

              Howey Co., 328 U.S. at 299.

            4

              Complaint at 19-20, S.E.C. v. Payward Ventures et al, No. 23-cv-588 (N. D. Cal. Feb. 9, 2023) [hereinafter Kraken].

            5

            As a general note regarding characterization of staking services: the Company understands the staking arrangements that Exodus users engage in with Everstake as a use of the blockchain or a participation in the operations of the relevant blockchain protocol, rather than an investment. Under this view, Everstake’s services
              relate to information technology services and enable use of a blockchain’s network and protocols. This view is more consistent with the facts related to Everstake, whereby Everstake does not control or have custody of the digital assets and
              the processes and results related to a user’s interaction with the underlying blockchain network are governed only by the rules of the blockchain, and not the rules or specifications of a promoter, issuer, or enterprise.

    It is worth noting that the concerns regarding counterparty risk raised by the Commission in Kraken stemming from Kraken’s possession of users’ digital assets are not present for Everstake because
      Everstake’s users retain custody and control over their own digital assets.

    Everstake’s program does not involve a common enterprise because Everstake does not manage or have custody over users’ digital assets and, except for Ethereum, does not pool digital assets.

    According to the SEC’s complaint, in Kraken’s program,

    …investor tokens are transferred and pooled in wallets for the purposes of the Kraken Staking Program, and Defendants determine when and how many of these pooled tokens to stake. During this time,
      and for as long as the investor chooses to stake his or her tokens, investors receive a pre-calculated payout from Defendants. Defendants market that these payouts are distributed pro rata to investors depending on the amount of tokens they have
      staked (i.e., Defendants advertise a fixed return for all investors). Defendants do not segregate or separately manage an individual investor’s crypto assets as part of the Kraken Staking Program. . . .[a]ll rewards generated from the Kraken Staking
      Program also flow directly to Defendants, who determine whether and how many tokens in the pool to stake, and how often (and how much in rewards) to pay investors.6

    The Kraken complaint provides specific detail as to Kraken’s activities with respect to offering and selling its digital asset “staking services” to the public. These “staking services” involved Kraken taking possession of digital assets that
      users transferred to Kraken, Kraken pooling these digital assets, and Kraken determining whether and how many of the pooled digital assets to stake on users’ behalf. This was done in exchange for Kraken providing users with advertised annual
      investment returns and other benefits (including no staking minimums, Kraken’s technical expertise in staking, and an easy-to-use platform).

    Everstake’s staking services are materially different from Kraken’s “staking services” in that Everstake relies on the processes and results related to a user’s interaction with an underlying blockchain that are governed only by the rules of such
      blockchain, and not the rules or specifications of a promoter, issuer, or enterprise. Unlike Kraken, Everstake (1) does not take custody of users’ digital assets, (2) does not have management authority over users’ digital assets, (3) does not
      advertise annual investment returns to users (beyond disclosing the parameters of the blockchain protocol) and (4) users’ rewards are not tied to Everstake or any particular entity because staking rewards are determined by the protocol, not by
      Everstake or any other entity.

    Regarding Everstake’s staking services for individuals desiring to stake Ethereum, a user would first connect its Ethereum wallet to the Everstake platform and provide the required identification and onboarding information. Once a user
      successfully connects its wallet to Everstake, they enter the amount of Ethereum they desire to stake (Everstake allows as little as 0.1 ETH, whereas solo-staking requires 32 ETH to create a node). The user completes the transaction by signing it
      with their Ethereum wallet. Once 32 ETH is gathered in a “pool” from users, Everstake’s platform starts a new validator for that pool, which starts generating rewards to users. Rewards are proportional to the size of the user’s stake.

      The purpose, structure and function of Everstake’s pooling activities for Ethereum are materially different from the pooling activities identified in the Kraken complaint:

              •

                  Everstake does not exercise discretionary authority to determine when and how many of these pooled tokens to stake. Rather, once 32 ETH is gathered in a “pool”
                    from users, Everstake’s platform starts a new validator for that pool.

        1.
        You state that you provide support for over 21,000 crypto assets. Please provide a description of your internal policies and procedures for how you determine whether
              crypto assets, including NFTs and staking products, are securities within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Also clarify that such processes are risk-based assessments made by the company and are not legal standards binding on
              any regulatory body or court.

  Exodus has revised the Registration Statement to omit the verb “support” and to clarify that we provide “access
      to” over 21,000 crypto assets. Because Exodus does not conduct transactions in crypto assets or engage in any swap activity, Exodus does not review or analyze individual crypto assets to assess whether they are “securities” under the federal
      securities laws. To mitigate the risk that Exodus could be deemed to be a broker-dealer in the event a crypto asset may be determined by a regulatory body or a court to be a “security,” Exodus charges its third-party API providers (“API Providers”) a
      monthly subscription fee for exchanges made by persons located in the United States trading digital assets. For exchanges made by persons located outside the United States, Exodus charges its third-party providers a percentage of the digital assets
      exchanged. While Exodus believes that it could also charge exchanges on which persons located in the United States trade digital assets a percentage of digital assets exchanged that Exodus determines are not securities, Exodus has decided not to
      utilize such pricing. The Company has revised the disclosure on page 5 of the Amended Registration Statement to provide additional detail around its fee structures.

  Further, please include a risk factor that addresses the specific risks inherent in your policies and
        procedures for determining whether or not a crypto asset is a security, and describe the potential regulatory risks under the U.S. federal securities laws if such crypto assets are determined to be securities.

  In response to the Staff’s comment, Exodus has revised its risk factor, “Certain digital assets traded using
        third-party services integrated within our platform or other programs could be viewed as ‘securities’ for purposes of federal or state regulations and could subject us to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines and other penalties,” on

      page 23 of the Amended Registration Statement to make clear that it does not analyze crypto assets to determine whether they are securities.

  Similarly please address how you determine that you are in compliance with the rules, regulations and laws of
        the jurisdictions in which you offer your products and services.

  The Company reviews the laws of jurisdictions in which it operates and engages with outside counsel as necessary
      to ensure that it remains in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

        2.
        Please revise to disclose your policies related to whether you provide services for crypto assets that are securities, and, if so, how you do so in compliance with the
              federal securities laws and the risks to your business if you are found to be engaging in transactions for unregistered securities in violation of the federal securities laws.

  The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised its risk factor, “Certain digital assets traded
        using third-party services integrated within our platform or other programs could be viewed as ‘securities’ for purposes of federal or state regulations and could subject us to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines and other
        penalties,” to make clear that, if the Company were to receive compensation based on the percentage of digital assets exchanged by persons located in the United States and such assets are deemed to be securities under the federal securities
      laws, then the Company could be deemed to be in violation of the federal and state securities laws, which could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  The Company’s service is providing a visual interface for users to send, receive and store digital assets
      self-custodially. We believe that self-custody of financial assets, whether they are deemed to be a security or otherwise, is in compliance with current regulations. All other services involving crypto assets that may be considered securities, such
      as Cosmos and Tezos, including transactions such as swaps, staking and purchases, are performed by third-party API Providers.

  In this regard, we note that your website indicates you
    offer staking products for Cosmos and Tezos, which have been identified as securities in separate SEC complaints.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on its website to describe the products and services it offers in a manner consistent with the disclosure contained in the Amended Registration Statement. The
        Company respectfully advises the Staff that, consistent with the Company’s terms of service currently disclosed on its website, Exodus does not have any contact with, control over, or ability to take control of any assets that a user stakes.
        Rather, Exodus currently allows users to “stake” supported digital assets held in their Exodus wallets by participating in blockchain validation through a third-party API provider, Everstake.

        3.
        Please provide to us a list of the each of the crypto assets material to your business, organized by the aggregate volume of transactions involving the crypto asset
              that also includes the blockchain on which each crypto asset exists, the volume of transactions involving the crypto asset in each jurisdiction in which you provide products and services for the crypto asset and the services you provide for
              each. In addition, revise your registration statement to include a table that, by volume of transactions, lists the crypto assets that are material to your business, and describe the characteristics of these crypto assets. Also disclose
              whether there are any jurisdictions in which you do not provide services related to any of these crypto assets.

  The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has provided the information requested by the Staff below and
      has also revised page 30 of the Amended Registration Statement. Please note that a description and characteristics of these assets is included in Item 1 under the Cryptocurrency section.

  The Company does not directly provide products and services with respect to crypto assets other than basic wallet
      functionality (i.e., users can send, receive and store digital assets self-custodially) on the Exodus platform. The Company provides access to the products and services for crypto assets that are offered and performed by the API Providers. The
      Company does not track the volume of basic wallet transactions, as this information is not pertinent to the Company’s business model. Rather, the Company tracks and measures the revenue generated by the underlying crypto asset. The crypto assets
      material to the Company’s business based on revenue are described in the table above and these digital assets are generally available in all jurisdictions in which the Exodus Platform is available.

  The Company provides access to the API Providers’ services globally, with the exception of those jurisdictions
      comprehensively sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets (“OFAC”), and the States of New York and Washington.

        4.
        We refer you to our December 2022 Sample Letter to Companies Regarding Recent Developments in Crypto Asset Markets, located on our website at the following address:
              https://www.sec.gov/corpfin/sample-letter-companies-regarding-crypto-assetmarkets. Please consider the issues identified in the sample letter as applicable to your facts and circumstances, and revise your disclosure accordingly.

  The Company has considered the issues identified in the sample letter as applicable to its facts and
      circumstances at this time and has revised its disclosures accordingly. The disclosure under the heading, “Uncertainty and Volatility in the Digital Asset Markets,” on pages 8 and 9 of the Amended Registration Statement addresses Comments 1, 2 and 3
      of the sample letter. The Company has revised the risk factor, “The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, digital assets and securities is uncertain and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development and
        utilization of the Exodus Platform,” to address Comment 10 of the sample letter.

        Please revise your filing to provide the address of your principal executive offices.

  The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the cover page of the Amended Registration
      Statement. As provided in the explanatory footnote on the cover page of the Amended Registration Statement, the Company is a remote-first company and does not maintain a principal executive office but has provided its mailing address.

  Business, page 1

        6.
        Please revise to identify the jurisdictions in which you offer your platform and services and disclose the percentage of revenue earned in each.

  The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised page 9 of the Amended Registration Statement
      accordingly. The Company offers the Exodus Platform in all jurisdictions not prohibited by U.S. law.

  In addition, we note that U.S. federal and state and foreign laws prohibit you from making available your
        platform or certain of its functionalities in all jurisdictions. Please disclose the methods you use to prohibit the Exodus Platform and certain of its functionalities from being accessed in such jurisdictions, and identify these jurisdictions and
        functionalities.

  The Company uses geo-blocking technology to block the Exodus Platform’s availability in jurisdictions subject to
      U.S. comprehensive sanctions—currently, the Crimea region and so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic in Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria. The Company also uses geo-blocking technology to block the availability of
      API integrations for third-party crypto-to-crypto exchange services in the states of New York and Washington.

  Also revise your disclosure in the Regulatory Environment section on page 6 to discuss, to the extent
        material, the laws, rules and regulations that impact your business in the jurisdictions in which you offer your platform and services. For example, you disclose on page 15 that you offer products and services in China. If material, describe the
        laws, rules and regulations in China regarding crypto assets and any other laws, rules and regulations that may impact your business.

  The Company offers the Exodus Platform in all jurisdictions not prohibited by U.S. law, and in so doing, it
      reviews the laws, rules and regulations of any jurisdiction other than the United States if material to its business. As an example, while the Exodus Platform is not prohibited in China, the revenue from China-based users represents an immaterial
      portion of the Company’s total revenue.

        7.
        Please identify the crypto assets you hold for your own account. In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 25 that, as of December 31, 2023, you held Bitcoin,
              Ethereum, USDC and “other digital assets.” To the extent that you hold your crypto assets on an exchange, please identify the exchange.

  The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised page 7 of the Amended Registration Statement
      accordingly.

  To the extent that they are held with a third-party custodian, please identify the custodian and
        describe the material terms of the agreement, including:

        ●
        disclose how the custodian stores the private keys, including the percentage that are held in cold storage, and the geographic location of where they are stored;

        ●
        disclose whether your assets are comingled with the assets of other customers;

        ●
        identify who has access to the private key information;

        ●
        disclose whether any entity is responsible for verifying the existence of your crypto assets; and

        ●
        disclose whether and to what extent the custodian carries insurance for any losses of the crypto assets it holds for you.

  To the extent that you self-custody your crypto assets, please revise to disclose your policies and
        procedures related to storing the private keys, including whether they are held in cold or hot storage, the geographic location where they are stored and who has access to the private keys. In addition, we note your disclosure on page 12 that you
        do not have insurance that covers your Bitcoin in the event of loss or fraud. Please revise to clarify, if true, and on page 12 that you do not have insurance that covers your crypto assets. If you do have insurance that covers your crypto assets,
        please revise to disclose to what extent the insurance covers the loss of your crypto assets.

14.Please revise your disclosure in this section to provide a balanced description. For
example purposes only, we note the following:
•you state that “[a]s a result, blockchain technology has a reputation of being difficult

integrated or seamless solutions” but do not explain that many crypto asset exchanges
allow users to access multiple blockchains through the exchanges’ platforms;
•you state that certain cryptocurrencies are primarily used to pay for goods and
services and are often considered a substitute for gold, cash or forms of electronic
payment but do not discuss the limited use of crypto assets to pay for retail and
commercial services;
•you discuss privacy coins but do not discuss the ban of such crypto assets in several
jurisdictions or that the anonymity provided by the crypto assets facilitates the use of
these crypto assets for illicit financing and crime;
•you state that crypto assets “can also be transferred in real time, often with no or low
fees,” but do not address the volatility of transfer fees and settlement times;
•you state that “[o]ften wallets have cumbersome interfaces,” but do not disclose
that the private key that your users must enter to utilize the crypto assets in their
wallets on your platform is an alphanumeric code with hundreds of digits, which, if
lost, renders the assets in the wallets lost; and
•you state that "[s]tablecoins are cryptocurrencies whose value is connected to an asset
that will not significantly fluctuate in value" but do not discuss the potential for
significant fluctuations in value.
Our Solution - The Exodus Platform, page 3
15.We note your disclosure on page 3 that you are “adapting and innovating the Exodus
Platform to support [y]our users’ ability to store other types of valuable assets such as

products.” Please revise to disclose the assets that your wallets currently are able to hold.

operate. In addition, please revise to clarify what you mean by "other tokenized financial
products."
Our Strategy
Elevate Technology, page 3
16.We note that, on page 3, you disclose that "[c]urrently products do exist to permit users to
migrate from fiat currency to digital assets; however, they often have poor user
interface/user experience (“UI/UX”) designs and require numerous transactions to
move between different types of digital assets” but it appears that one of the ways you
facilitate transfers of crypto assets is by giving users access to third-party exchanges.
Please clarify how the use of your platform differs from the use of third-party exchanges,
and clarify what you mean by your disclosure that "[t]he Exodus Platform is asset
agnostic, meaning [that you] have the ability to operate properly irrespective of the type of
digital asset.”

reasons for the use of such different pricing models. In addition, please identify all of your
API providers, including the jurisdiction of each, and disclose the material terms of the
agreements you have with the providers, including how you earn fees from each. In this
regard, we note your disclosure on page 45 in your financial statements that addresses
exchange aggregation, fiat onboarding and staking revenue earned through an API
provider.

currencies that may be received for the sale of crypto assets on or through your platform.
19.We note your disclosure that you "have a streamlined approach to aggregate the
exchanges and aim to provide users with the best exchange rate within their jurisdictional
limitations." Under an appropriately captioned heading, please revise to describe in detail
what your Exchange Aggregator is and how it works. Please revise to identify the
exchanges you use, the jurisdiction of each exchange and whether you have separate
agreements with each exchange or whether one of your APIs provides the connection with
the third-party exchanges. In addition, please disclose whether the third-party exchanges
that users may access through your platform provide services for the 21,000 types of
crypto assets that users may hold in their wallets on your platform.

without having to access centralized exchanges or trade across multiple order

platform without accessing centralized exchanges, and describe your involvement in such

            Filed on February 26, 2021

            File No. 024-11468

    Ladies and Gentlemen:

    On behalf of our client, Exodus Movement, Inc. (“Exodus” or the “Company”), we submit this letter in response to comments from the staff
      (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in its letter dated March 12, 2021, relating to the above referenced Offering
      Statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering Circular”). We are concurrently publicly filing via EDGAR an amended offering circular (the “Amended Offering Circular”).

    In this letter, we have recited the comments from the staff in italicized, bold type and have followed each comment with the Company’s response. Except for page references appearing in the headings and Staff comments
      below (which are references to the Offering Circular), all page references herein correspond to the Amended Offering Circular.

    We note that the Company intends submit a letter to the Commission requesting that its offering statement on Form 1-A, of which the Amended Offering Circular is a part, be declared qualified on March 29, 2021 at 8:00a.m.
      Eastern Daylight Time. We further note that none of the participants in this offering are registered broker-dealers and, consequently, a FINRA review of compensation arrangements is not required.

    Offering Statement on Form 1-A

    General

          1.

            You state that you expect Common Stock Tokens to be available within nine months of qualification of this offering statement. Please provide us with your legal analysis as to why the issuance
              of Common Stock Tokens does not represent the issuance of a security different from the uncertificated Class A common stock. In your response, please provide a detailed explanation of why a single class of securities may be held in different
              forms with different rights and privileges under applicable state law. In this regard, comparing the Tokens to stock certificates appears inappropriate given that stock certificates are the security, rather than a representation, and a
              security cannot be simultaneously held in both book-entry and certificated form. We also note your response to comment 6, in which you state "[t]he Common Stock Tokens should not be confused or conflated with the actual shares of Class A
              common stock."

    Exodus acknowledges the Staff’s comment. Exodus has removed the language in the Amended Offering Circular that compares the Common Stock Tokens to a common stock certificate, and has revised that language on pages 1, 5,
      34, 40, 74 and 111.

    In regard to the other questions raised in the comment above, Exodus respectfully submits the following response.

    Exodus has filed its Amended Offering Circular in order to sell, under Regulation A, a single security, namely, shares of its Class A common stock. Within nine months of the qualification of this offering, Exodus intends
      to make available to purchasers of its Class A common stock a digital representation of purchasers’ Class A common stock, which Exodus calls the Common Stock Tokens. Such issuance of Common Stock Tokens, whether it occurs in nine months or at any
      other time, is irrelevant to the Company’s offering of Class A common stock, because the Common Stock Tokens are not a security.

    Before turning to a detailed analysis of why the Common Stock Tokens are not securities, it may be helpful to again consider as a factual matter what those tokens are and are not.  Those Common Stock Tokens are a digital
      representation of the Class A common stock.  That is all they are.  What this means, in practical terms, is that an owner of Class A common stock can see a representation of the Class A common stock she owns, and she can see this representation in
      her digital wallet, in the form of the Common Stock Tokens.

    U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

    March 16, 2021

    Page 3

    The Common Stock Tokens, however, are not the Class A common stock.  The Class A common stock is a security whose ownership is recorded solely on the books of the Transfer Agent.  The Common Stock Tokens give no
      ownership interest in the Class A common stock.  In addition, the Common Stock Tokens themselves carry no economic, governance, or other rights.  The Common Stock Tokens cannot be traded independently of the Class A common stock.  The Common Stock
      Tokens are digital markers; they are devoid of any legal rights or economic value.

    As a result, contrary to the assertion in your comment, the Common Stock Tokens do not create “a single class of securities [that] may be held in different forms with different rights and privileges under applicable
      state law.”   There is a single class of securities – the Class A common stock – which may be held in only a single form – on the books of the Transfer Agent.  All rights and privileges of
      the Class A common stock attach solely to the Class A common stock; no rights or privileges attach to the Common Stock Tokens.

    Similarly, you have noted our “response to comment 6, in which [we] state "[t]he Common Stock Tokens should not be confused or conflated with the actual shares of Class A common stock."  This is a critical point, and it
      is absolutely true.  We reiterate:  the Common Stock Tokens -- which have no legal, economic or other rights associated with them – should not be confused or conflated with the actual shares of Class A common stock – which have all relevant legal and
      economic rights, the ownership of which is determined solely by the books and records of the Transfer Agent, and the ownership of which is not affected one iota by the “ownership” of the Common Stock Tokens.

        Legal and analytical framework for determining whether the Common Stock Tokens are a security

    I.          Analysis under the federal securities laws and the Howey test

    The Common Stock Tokens are not a security under the definition of “security” set out in the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), because they are not any of the instruments listed in those definitions, including definitions like “stock,” “bonds,” “notes,” or any instrument.  In addition, the Common Stock Assets do not meet
      the four-part test assessing whether they are a form of “investment contract” as set out in SEC v. Howey.1

    A.  The Common Stock Tokens Are Not Any Type of Instrument Listed in the Definition of a Security

    The Securities Act and Exchange Act contain almost identical definitions of the term security; for example, they both list a number of familiar financial instruments as securities, including stock, notes and bonds. 2 The Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) and the Investment Companies Act of 1940 (the “Investment

        Company Act”) also contain definitions of the term “security” that are arguable broader than the definitions provided in the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, but we do not believe those definitions are relevant for this discussion.3

    1 SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S.
      293 (1946).

    2 Securities Act of 1933 15 U.S.C. § 77b(a)(1), defining the term
      “security” to mean “any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate,
      preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle,
      option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities
      exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security”, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right
      to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.”; Securities Exchange Act §3(a)(10), defining the term “security to mean “any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, certificate of interest or
      participation in any profit-sharing agreement or in any oil, gas, or other mineral royalty or lease, any collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate,
      certificate of deposit for a security, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle,
      option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or in general, any instrument commonly known as a “security”; or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for,
      receipt for, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing; but shall not include currency or any note, draft, bill of exchange, or banker’s acceptance which has a maturity at the time of issuance of not exceeding nine months,
      exclusive of days of grace, or any renewal thereof the maturity of which is likewise limited.”

    3 The definition of a security under the Advisers Act is the same as under
      the Investment Company Act, which the SEC and its Staff have said is broader than under the Exchange Act.  In the Supreme Court case Marine Bank v. Weaver, 455 U.S. 551 (1982), the SEC argued that the issue
      of whether a particular instrument is a “security” depends on the context, including the statute being applied, and that the Investment Company Act “presents a significantly different context” (i.e. the regulation of the operation and management of
      investment companies) than the context of the Exchange Act (i.e. the issuance or trading of such securities), because the investor protection considerations are difference under these two statutes. SEC Staff Brief for the United States as Amicus
      Curiae, Marine Bank v. Weaver, at 23-24, 38, 40.   In a subsequent no-action letter, the Staff of the SEC reiterated this position, adding that the definition of a security under the Investment Company Act is
      necessarily broader, in finding that a certificate of deposit subject to the request for relief would be a security for Investment Company Act purposes, despite the Supreme Court’s finding in Marine Bank that
      a certificate of deposit would not be a security for Exchange Act purposes. However, we do not believe this analysis is relevant here because Exodus is not acting as an investment adviser and does not fall within the definition of an investment
      company.

      U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

      March 16, 2021

      Page 5

    Digital assets, or digital tokens, such as the Common Stock Tokens, are not listed as financial instruments in the definition of “security.” In addition, the characteristics of Common Stock Tokens do not fit within the
      enumerated lists of financial instruments. For example, the Common Stock Tokens lack any indicia of being a stock, note, bond or similar financial instrument, because the Common Stock Tokens serve only as a digital representation of a person or
      entity’s ownership of Class A common stock. The Common Stock Tokens have no intrinsic value, and a person who held only Common Stock Tokens would have no economic, governance or other rights, such as the right to receive dividends or vote for
      directors, in or with respect to Exodus. Only a person who holds Class A common stock receives the economic, governance or other rights associated with the Class A common stock, and it is only the Class A common stock that has any value.

    Therefore, the Common Stock Tokens are not securities under the definitions provided in the Securities Act and Exchange Act.

    B.   The Common Stock Tokens Are Not Investment Securities

    The definition of security in the Securities Act and the Exchange Act also contains the term “investment contract,” which has become a sort of “catchall” for instruments that do not meet the other definitions of a
      security.  The SEC has taken the position that many crypto assets are securities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act because they are investment contracts,4
      and virtually all of the federal courts that have examined whether a crypto asset is a security under Securities Act and Exchange Act also have focused primarily or exclusively on whether those assets are investment contracts.5

    4 See, e.g., Report of Investigation Pursuant to Section 21(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934: The DAO, Exchange Act Release No. 81207 (July 25, 2017); William Hinman, Former Director, SEC Div. of Corp. Fin., Remarks
      at the Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit: Crypto, Digital Asset Transactions: When Howey Met Gary (Plastic) (June 14, 2018).

    5 E.g., Balestra v. ATBCOIN LLC, 380 F. Supp. 3d 340, 352–53 (S.D.N.Y 2019) (applying the Howey test to determine whether the ATB Coin is an investment
      contract–and in turn, a security); SEC v. Blockvest, LLC, et al., No. 18CV2287-GPB(BLM), 2019 WL 625163, at *7 (S.D. Cal. Feb. 14, 2019) (finding that the BLV token was a “security” because it met the
      definition of an “investment contract” under the Howey test); SEC v. Telegram Group Inc. et al., No. 19-cv-9439 (PKC) (S.D.N.Y. March 24, 2020) (applying Howey to the “Gram” cryptocurrency as the mode of analysis for an unconventional scheme or contract alleged to fall within the securities laws).

      March 16, 2021

    The term investment contract is not otherwise defined in the Securities Act or Exchange Act. However, beginning with the seminal Supreme Court case SEC v. W.J. Howey Company,6 federal courts and the SEC have defined an investment contract to include a contract, transaction or scheme that meets all four of the following elements: (1) an
      investment of money, (2) in a common enterprise, (3) with the expectation of profits (4) to be derived solely (or, according to lower federal courts, primarily)7 from
      the efforts of others.

    In Howey, the Supreme Court held that the seller of parcels of a citrus grove, when coupled with a contract for cultivating, marketing, and remitting the net proceeds to

Dear Mr. Richardson:
            We have reviewed your offering statement and have the following comments.  In some of
our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your
disclosure.
            Please respond to this letter by amending your offering statement and providing the
requested information.  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.  After reviewing any amendment to your offering statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Offering Statement on Form 1-A
General
1.You state that you expect Common Stock Tokens to be available within nine months of
qualification of this offering statement.  Please provide us with your legal analysis as to
why the issuance of Common Stock Tokens does not represent the issuance of a security
different from the uncertificated Class A common stock.  In your response, please provide
a detailed explanation of why a single class of securities may be held in different forms
with different rights and privileges under applicable state law.  In this regard, comparing
the Tokens to stock certificates appears inappropriate given that stock certificates are the
security, rather than a representation, and a security cannot be simultaneously held in both
book-entry and certificated form.  We also note your response to comment 6, in which you
state "[t]he Common Stock Tokens should not be confused or conflated with the actual
shares of Class A common stock."

    Ladies and Gentlemen:

    On behalf of our client, Exodus Movement, Inc. (“Exodus” or the “Company”), we submit this letter in response to comments from the staff
      (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in its letter dated February 9, 2021, relating to the above referenced Draft Offering
      Statement on Form 1-A (the “Draft Offering Circular”). We are concurrently publicly filing via EDGAR a revised draft of the Offering Circular (the “Offering Circular”).

    In this letter, we have recited the comments from the staff in italicized, bold type and have followed each comment with the Company’s response. Except for page references appearing in the headings and Staff comments

    Draft Offering Statement on Form 1-A

    General

          1.

            You state that any ATS you may use may have the ability to support trades in Class A common and transfers of Common Stock Tokens, but Common Stock Tokens may not be supported by all ATSs that
              trade Class A common. Please tell us whether you contemplate making the Common Stock Tokens available to trade on an ATS which would not support trading of the Class A common. We may have additional comment on review of your response.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment. The Company has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 11, 35 and 112 to clarify that the Company is currently engaged in discussions with ATSs, including tZERO,
      which the Company believes would be able to both permit the Class A common stock to trade on the ATS and have the technology to facilitate the transfer of the Common Stock Tokens. If the Company were to determine that no ATS had the ability to
      facilitate the transfer of the Common Stock Tokens, this would not preclude the Company from choosing to make its Class A common stock available on an ATS; the Class A common stock would then be traded in the same manner as any other company’s common
      stock. The Common Stock Tokens are merely digital representations of the Class A common stock and cannot, and never would, be traded on an ATS or any other platform. If an ATS has the technical capabilities to enable transfers of the Common Stock
      Tokens, the transfer of the Common Stock Tokens can then be used to represent transfers of the Class A common stock, but its sole purpose would be as a digital representation of the trading that occurs in the actual Class A common stock.

            You state in the second full risk factor on page 42 that each selling stockholder has granted custody of the shares and power of attorney to you to facilitate selling shares on their behalf.
              Please disclose this here and on the offering circular cover and briefly describe here whether selling stockholders may revoke this power of attorney and, if so, the process for doing so.

    In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated the disclosure on the cover page and on pages 42 and 111 of the Offering Circular.

          6.

            Refer to your response to comment 2. You state on page 11 that holders of the Class A common stock may transfer their shares even if there is no means by which to transfer the common stock
              tokens. Based on this disclosure, it is not clear what the tokens represent. The disclosure in the filing indicates that the tokens represent the Class A common stock, akin to a stock certificate. However, if this is the case it is not clear
              how the Class A common stock can be transferred if the token cannot be transferred. Please explain how the Class A common stock can be transferred separately from the token. Moreover, if this is the case, please explain what the token
              actually represents and how the token should be characterized.

    The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has updated the disclosure on the cover page and on pages 11, 12, 35 and 113 of the Offering Circular.

    The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Common Stock Tokens should be characterized as an innovative digital method of representing ownership of shares of Class A common stock. The Common Stock Tokens should
      not be confused or conflated with the actual shares of Class A common stock. In addition, the Common Stock Tokens should not be interpreted as creating additional restrictions on what would otherwise be freely tradable shares of Class A common stock.
      Common Stock Tokens are digital representations of shares of Class A common stock. Common Stock Tokens are not themselves common stock or any form of security.

    The technology that underlies Common Stock Tokens will allow the Common Stock Tokens, as representations of the Class A common stock, to be transferred on a blockchain network, and the technology that permits such
      transfers also notifies the Company’s Transfer Agent of the movement of Common Stock Tokens, so that the Transfer Agent can record the movement in its books and records as the actual movement of shares of Class A common stock. However, the Company
      recognizes that this technology is innovative and stockholders may want to transfer shares of their Class A common stock in circumstances where the Common Stock Tokens are not supported. if a holder of Class A common stock desires to effect a
      transfer of Class A common stock in circumstances where there is no means by which Common Stock Tokens can be transferred, the transfer can still be effected by recording the transfer in book-entry form on the books and records of Securitize, in the
      same way that a traditional stock transfer would be recorded. Furthermore, while the transfer of Common Stock Tokens does create an immutable record of the transfer on the blockchain network, and the decision by a stockholder to transfer shares using
      the traditional book-entry method would not result in a record of the transfer on the blockchain network, the validity and binding effect of Securitize’s book-entry records would not be affected by a discrepancy in the blockchain network.

    The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the intention of the Common Stock Tokens is to provide holders of the Company’s Class A common stock with an easier way of facilitating transfers of their shares, not to
      restrict transfers.

            In light of your response to comment 2, it is not clear as to the mechanics of how the Class A common stock will be transferred if it is available for trading on an ATS. Please provide a
              step-by-step description of the steps holders must take to transfer the Class A common stock if it is available for trade on an ATS, including the role of the transfer agent and token in that process. Moreover, if the token represents the
              Class A common stock, please explain how the Class A common stock can be made available for trade on an ATS that does not support the transfer of the tokens.

    In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated the disclosure on page 113 of the Offering Circular.

          8.

            Refer to your response to comment 5. Please provide a step-by-step description of the steps holders must take to transfer the Class A common stock in peer-to-peer transactions, including the
              steps necessary to ensure that the transfer of the Class A common stock is reflected in the transfer agent’s records, as well as the role of the token in peer-to-peer transactions. Please also describe the process required to remedy
              discrepancies in the event a peer-to-peer transfer is not properly reflected on the transfer agent’s records.

    In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated the disclosure on page 112 of the Offering Circular.

common stock tokens.  Based on this disclosure, it is not clear what the tokens represent.
The disclosure in the filing indicates that the tokens represent the Class A common stock,
akin to a stock certificate.  However, if this is the case it is not clear how the Class A
common stock can be transferred if the token cannot be transferred.  Please explain how
the Class A common stock can be transferred separately from the token.  Moreover, if this
is the case, please explain what the token actually represents and how the token should be
characterized.
7.In light of your response to comment 2, it is not clear as to the mechanics of how the Class
A common stock will be transferred if it is available for trading on an ATS.  Please
provide a step-by-step description of the steps holders must take to transfer the Class A
common stock if it is available for trade on an ATS, including the role of the transfer
agent and token in that process.  Moreover, if the token represents the Class A common
stock, please explain how the Class A common stock can be made available for trade on
an ATS that does not support the transfer of the tokens.
8.Refer to your response to comment 5.  Please provide a step-by-step description of the
steps holders must take to transfer the Class A common stock in peer-to-peer transactions,
including the steps necessary to ensure that the transfer of the Class A common stock is
reflected in the transfer agent’s records, as well as the role of the token in peer-to-peer
