Regulating decentralised finance: insights from the offshore jurisdiction analogy presents the following source proposition: Decentralised finance (DeFi) is rapidly transforming financial services through the use of smart contracts and blockchain technology. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A fund constituted purely through smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain may have no domicile, foreign or domestic, which makes jurisdiction over blockchain transactions a genuine problem for the funds that use the technology. 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.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.3816.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
