Legal Personhood of DAOs under Macau Law: Analogical Application of Article 174 of the Commercial Code should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The absence of clear regulatory direction from the SEC and state governments helps explain why many DAOs take minimal action to establish regulatory compliance within their organizations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
