I'm sure you could use legal instruments to make the legal system honor the blockchain, but at that point what value is the blockchain providing? More important

  Exactly. Until distributed ledgers or blockchains are considered as part of "the law of the land", they have no standing in ownership matters.

      I stand corrected when scoped to Delaware corporate entity law. "Not just any blockchain-based ledger, however, will suffice. For one, electronic corporate records must be capable of being converted into legible paper form within a reasonable time. Second, like all other Delaware stock ledgers, a blockchain ledger must be able to (i) be used to prepare a list of stockholders entitled to vote, (ii) record information required by the DGCL to be maintained in the ledger and (iii) record transfers of stock pursuant to Article 8 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code." So a blockchain or distributed ledger technology can be used, but it could just as easily be done using a relational database or paper records.
