# kaal:position:2026-07-31-6075

**Affirmed position.** Managing cross-border DeFi DAOs in the EU: legal complexities and regulatory perspectives presents the following source proposition: It discusses the legal structure of DeFi DAOs, the code deference approach, current regulations under MiCA, and best practices for achieving decentralization. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that It is not possible to create a centralized regulator like the SEC for the decentralized economy, because doing so would place a supranational market under competing jurisdictions with naturally contradictory regulations. 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.
