According to PANews on June 14, the Beijing Dongcheng Court released the "White Paper on Judicial Trials of Cultural Relics and Art Auction Cases (2014-2024)". It points out that some auctioneers use blockchain technology for digital recording, but there are still controversies regarding private chain authentication, timestamp disputes, and electronic signature verification. The diversity of authentication institutions and authenticators, along with the lack of unified standards, leads to significant subjectivity and uncertainty in authentication results. There is also considerable debate about whether authentication certificates can serve as legal evidence in case trials and to what extent they influence judicial decisions.
