Analysis of the main consensus protocols of blockchain presents the following source proposition: Blockchain as a distributed ledger technology has received extensive research attention. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The FCA has acknowledged that distributed ledger technology has unique aspects capable of working around current regulations. 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.
