    In terms of settlement finality , subject to certain conditions, proof-of-work settlement is preferable to legal settlement finality. However, those conditions are not likely to be met as they pertain to the well-known drawbacks such as lack of scalability, excessive energy use and the 51% attack vulnerability. Future designs of new types of blockchains will need to consider these shortcomings in order to enable the regulated industry to benefit from this technology innovation.

Without mechanisms to ensure consistent application of coherent global rules, we may find ourselves in a world full of "low-quality finance havens" that exist to evade financial regulations-just like "tax havens" that exist merely to evade taxes.
