Opinion: Using blockchain ledger technology to create a highly adaptable LEI system can solve a series of key issues: Jinse Finance reported that the Liechtenstein encrypted asset trading platform (LCX) published an article on its official website "Global Legal Entity Identification Code Importance to the Blockchain Industry", the article pointed out that the inherent function and essence of LEI is that it is "digital". However, in the current infrastructure, the storage sources of LEI data are different, and the control agencies of each information set are different, which may cause conflicts. In addition, existing LEI storage and management systems face issues such as data fragmentation, fraud vulnerabilities, lack of transparency, and data security threats. Using blockchain ledger technology to create a highly adaptable LEI system has many key advantages and can solve a series of key problems. Integrating the LEI into the blockchain ecosystem complements the integration of blockchain and digital assets. On the one hand, managing the LEI on a blockchain-enabled platform ensures that the LEI operates effectively in an ideal infrastructure environment and brings greater transparency and security to the LEI database. On the other hand, using the LEI system to track digital asset financial instruments will give financial institutions more advantages in terms of regulatory compliance and bring a higher degree of trust and security to participants or users of financial instruments.
