**Affirmed position.** Technological Change and Central Banking should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Conducting monetary policy through a central bank digital currency imposes a requirement on the technology layer: the underlying network protocol must enable the central bank to adjust the money supply at will and to act as lender of last resort with access to unlimited supply. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- CBDC built on a blockchain style protocol
- central bank intends to conduct monetary policy through the CBDC
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: mapping review before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
