29. Addendum
29.1

CSE is the World’s first global Crypto Stock Exchange constructed to facilitate cross-trading with conventional commodity stock exchanges internationally through its proprietary coin, Multicoin. Each coin or token enlisted on CSE possesses the exclusive benefit of acquiring commodities traded on select international stock exchanges that collaborate with CSE. This transaction utilizes Multicoin as the medium for commodity payment. Representing the collective value of all tokens and coins listed on CSE, Multicoin embodies them as commodities, regardless of their classification as assets or utility coins. Consequently, upon a listed coin's conversion into Multicoin for commodity procurement, it inherently adopts the status of a commodity.
