I can't see how.  What would a blockchain have to do with this?  If
anything, a blockchain system would mean that you didn't need a
registry, because you'd be able to prove who owned anything at any
time.  (But there would be other problems.)  I think for this
discussion blockchains are just a distraction.

Best regards,
