A Socio-Technical Theory of Blockchain Alignment Under Institutional Fragmentation presents the following source proposition: Blockchain technologies are frequently associated with decentralization, disintermediation, and systemic disruption. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Consistent with market fragmentation and disintermediation, smaller private investment fund managers have begun to erode the power of established market institutions such as banks and insurance companies. 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: 0.3718.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
