Note 3. Cash and Cash Equivalents, page F-16

 

  6. Please disclose in greater detail how you acquire and dispose of your USDT and discuss your business reasons for doing so. Disclose who has custody and control of your USDT. Provide a roll forward of your USDT activity (beginning balance, purchases, sales, impairments, other items and ending balance) for each period presented. Also, clarify whether you believe USDT is an indefinite-lived intangible asset under ASC 350 or a financial asset under ASC 825 and tell us in detail how you applied the GAAP guidance in reaching the conclusion you did. Tether has held bitcoins, precious metals and other non-financial assets in its reserves. If Tether reserves the right under its user agreement to redeem USDT by in-kind redemptions of other assets it holds in its reserves, tell us how you considered that in your conclusion. Furthermore, tell us in detail how you concluded USDT qualifies as a cash equivalent under ASC 230.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages F-16 and F-17 of the Revised Draft Registration Statement.

 

The way USDT is designed is substantially different from other digital assets like Bitcoin or Ether. USDT is a fiat-backed stablecoin fixed on the value of USD to offer a safer digital asset that is not affected by market volatility in the same way other digital assets like Bitcoin does. In addition, USDT can be converted to USD in most of the cryptocurrency exchanges without limitation on time and volume at the value almost equal to USD, which shows the high liquidity and stability nature of the stablecoin.

Tether, the issuer of USDT, backs USDT through holding commodities, traditional currencies, cash equivalents and digital assets in their reserve. Tether reserves the right under its user agreement to redeem USDT by in-kind redemptions of other assets it holds in its reserves. According to the consolidated financial figures & reserve report of Tether Holdings Limited, as of June 30, 2024, USDT reserves have composition of 84.24% of cash and cash equivalents and other short-term deposits, 3.22% precious metals, 4% Bitcoins, and 8.54% other investments, 84.24% of backed asset are considered as readily convertible to cash or financial assets.

 

Based on the attributes and the purpose of USDT, the Company believes it is readily convertible to known amounts of cash or used as consideration in a transaction with minimal risk of changes in value. Even at the situation when Tether claims its right to redeem the USDT under the user agreement, the Company expects to receive the majority of assets with high liquidity to transfer into cash or other financial assets. Therefore, it is more likely to characterize USDT held as a financial asset than intangible asset, even though it lacks physical substance.

 

The Company exchanges its USDT to USD within a short period of time without intention to hold USDT for other purpose after receiving the fund from customers, the company accounts the USDT on hand as cash equivalent given the attributes of 1) USDT can be exchanged on several established cryptocurrency exchange, and 2) it is rapidly convertible to known amounts of cash without significant penalty or fee, which meet the criteria of cash equivalent in accordance ASC 230.

Amount Due from Shareholder (Desmond Foo), page F-19

 

  7. You disclose the receivable balance due from director was $732,482 as of September 30, 2023. Please confirm, if true, that the current due from director balance is zero and that all amounts were repaid in full and not forgiven. Also, disclose the terms of your arrangement with your director to collect cash from your customers on your behalf. Also, disclose the facts and circumstances surrounding the director not remitting the collected amounts to you promptly, and instead waiting over a business cycle, as stated in your December 26, 2023 response to comment 17 from our November 22, 2023 letter.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company confirms that the entire balance of US$732,482 due from the director as of September 30, 2023, has been fully repaid and was not forgiven. The current balance due from the director is zero. The Company would like to clarify that there is no formal arrangement for the director to collect cash from its customers on the Company’s behalf. This only occurs under special circumstances when customers specifically request to make payments using USDT (Tether). In such cases, as a temporary measure, the director of the Company collects the USDT on behalf of the Company and then remits it back to the Company. The Company was in the process of opening a corporate account with reputable exchanges to hold USDT. However, due to the regulatory reasons, many such exchanges do not accept corporate accounts or had exorbitant fees. Once the Company successfully established an account with a reputable exchange, the Company did the transfers back in tranches and transferred them out as soon as possible to ensure funds security. Moving forward, the Company is committed to continuing to improve its payment processes to minimize any delays in receiving and processing customer payments, including those made in USDT. The Company strives to ensure that any payments received on behalf of the Company should be settled within a week.
