 **Source:** Maryland Fourth Circuit Brief, CEA Section 12(e)(2) statutory history
 
 Maryland's statutory argument strengthens the case that non-DCM governance markets face state law exposure. If Kalshi's sports event contracts (on a registered DCM) still face state gambling law challenges despite DCM registration, then MetaDAO's conditional governance markets (not on a DCM) have even less preemption protection. The Dodd-Frank deletion of swap preemption from Section 12(e)(2) means that even if MetaDAO markets are classified as 'swaps' under the broad Dodd-Frank definition, they would not benefit from federal preemption of state gambling laws.

+DLA Piper's practitioner analysis extends event contract scope to corporate events beyond sports/elections, noting that 'a wide range of corporate events and activities could be the subject of an event contract.' This suggests the external event framing may be broader than the ANPRM's sports/election focus implies. Corporate governance events are already being conceptualized as prediction market territory by practitioners, even if the CFTC ANPRM didn't explicitly address them.

 **Source:** Cleary Gottlieb analysis of CFTC-SEC MOU, March 2026
 
 The March 2026 CFTC-SEC MOU acknowledges 'some event contracts may be subject to SEC jurisdiction' and establishes 'interagency coordination on product definitions,' but Cleary Gottlieb notes 'to date, there has been limited regulatory appetite to examine more closely whether certain event contracts constitute security-based swaps.' No binding joint interpretive guidance has been issued. This confirms the SEC track is latent regulatory exposure, not active enforcement vector.

+**Source:** DLA Piper Market Edge, April 2026
+
+DLA Piper explicitly acknowledges that 'a wide range of corporate events and activities could be the subject of an event contract (e.g., whether a company will complete a merger by a certain date or the number of times its chief financial officer says 'tariffs' during an earnings call)' — treating corporate governance events as within ordinary CFTC scope. This creates scope creep risk: if granular corporate events like CFO word counts are ordinary scope, MetaDAO governance decisions (treasury deployment, project funding) could theoretically be swept in if regulators apply creative framing. The endogeneity argument requires affirmative structural differentiation, not just absence of analysis.
