Well, even if you trust the source, you still need to be able to access the transaction records.

You don't really need a distributed ledger for that,a centralised database run by an industry clearinghouse could serve the purpose just fine.

But maybe there are cases where a distributed ledger is easier or cheaper to establish than such a clearinghouse.
