IT Strategic alignment in the decentralized finance (DeFi): CBDC and digital currencies presents the following source proposition: Blockchain is a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) which supports cryptocurrencies, this may be considered as the most promising disruptive technology in the industry 4.0 context. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Most large private equity and hedge fund advisers have not yet even considered combining blockchain with big data and artificial intelligence, leaving first mover efficiency gains to smaller competitors. 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: 0.3654.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
