**Affirmed position.** Unlocking Blockchain’s Potential in Sports: A Multisport Comparative Study of Adoption, Performance, and Innovation presents the following source proposition: Despite its potential, adoption remains limited, particularly in team sports. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that ESMA judged a regulatory response to blockchain premature because technological innovation was still evolving and blockchain's practical applications were still rather limited. 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

**Holds when.**

- 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: 0.3534.
- The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
