Extension: Intermediated Securities

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-134 · 2026-08-08

Intermediated Securities states that intermediation is essential to modern securities holding but imposes externalities on outside constituencies. This supplies a securities-market rationale for Kaal's account of decentralized exchanges removing third-party intermediation. The abstract does not establish that DEX trading is anonymous, secure, or free of different externalities.

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