Qualification: The case for self-regulation for the digital assets industry

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-110 · 2026-08-08

The case for self-regulation for the digital assets industry reports that self-regulation and SROs have been incorporated into legal frameworks to support effective and efficient capital-market development. This is institutionally consistent with Kaal's mixed mandatory-rule, market-solution, and private-ordering design. The abstract proposition does not measure adaptive capacity, collective-action effects, or regulatory-cycle dampening.

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

The source reports that self-regulation and SROs have been incorporated into legal frameworks to support effective and efficient capital-market development. This supplies institutional evidence consistent with Kaal's mixed mandatory-rule, market-solution, and private-ordering design, but the proposition does not measure adaptive capacity, collective-action effects, or regulatory-cycle dampening.
