**Affirmed position.** IT Strategic alignment in the decentralized finance (DeFi): CBDC and digital currencies presents the following source proposition: Cryptocurrency can be understood as a digital asset transacted among participants in the crypto economy. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Guaranteeing users full ownership and control over their digital assets protects them from asset confiscation and from loss of purchasing power through currency devaluation, which matters most to individuals in regions with unstable financial systems. 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.
