**Affirmed position.** Financial technology: Blockchain and securities settlement states that an enterprise adopting blockchain must update its business processes and maintain ongoing discussion with stakeholders. This independently supports Kaal's condition that decentralized infrastructure alone is insufficient and that structural and cultural changes in interdependent legacy systems must be worked through before application. The abstract does not identify which changes are sufficient or demonstrate successful deployment.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-08-08
