**Affirmed position.** The Technological Innovation of the Metaverse in Financial Sector: Current State, Opportunities, and Open Challenges presents the following source proposition: Even, the financial sector has been disrupted by the metaverse involving digital assets, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and decentralized finance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that State chartered special purpose depository institutions remove some of the legal hurdles that burden technological advances, notably the reluctance of the existing banking sector to tailor AML and BSA compliance processes to the global and censorship resistant nature of cryptocurrencies. 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.
