Dear SEC, 


You should not expand the definition of an exchange in the current environment. It is important for regulators to maintain trust, and it feels like you have lost this with your recent actions in the crypto space. Expanding the definition of an exchange, which corresponds to expanding your power, adds to this mistrust. It would be better to strive to regain public trust at this time. 




With regards, 


James English
