**Affirmed position.** Legal Uncertainty and DAOs in the Digital Economy presents the following source proposition: This in turn raises the fundamental conclusion that either the DAO model as such, the law, or both need to be adapted and evolved in order to facilitate these organizations’ thriving in the economy. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Regulatory uncertainty is holding back both the development of DAOs and the optimization potential DAOs offer for digital assets. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

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