 targets of regulatory enforcement actions. For example, in 35 February 2014, Mt. Gox, the then largest crypto asset platform worldwide, filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan after an estimated 850,000 Bitcoin were stolen from its wallets. As described under “ Business — Our History,” in January 2018 our NEM hot wallet was hacked and we lost 526.3 million NEM, or ¥46.6 billion, of customer funds. In May 2019, Binance, one of the world’s largest platforms, was hacked, resulting in losses of approximately $40 million, and in February 2021, Bitfinex settled a long -runninglegal dispute with the State of New York related to Bitfinex’s alleged misuse of over $800 million of customer assets.

More recently, there have been a number of incidents of alleged non -compliancewith legal and regulatory requirements by major crypto asset platforms. For example, on March 22, 2023, Coinbase announced that it had received a “Wells Notice” from the SEC, stating that the staff of the SEC had made a “preliminary determination” to recommend an enforcement action against Coinbase alleging violations of federal securities laws relating to various aspects of Coinbase’s services and products. In addition, on March 27, 2023, the CFTC announced the filing of a civil enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois charging, among others,
