The Impact of Regulatory Measures Imposed on Initial Coin Offerings in the United States Market Economy presents the following source proposition: This comment also addresses the legal ramifications for companies issuing ICOs, and delves into the benefits of using blockchain technology as a means for transferring digital currencies and making business transactions. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Decentralized banking addresses blockchain scaling, because the linear structure of a blockchain means that doubling the number of participants and transactions halves its speed. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
