The surge in final weeks demonstrates sustained political pressure across the comment period, with Congressional actions including Senate unanimous ban on senators/staff betting and Curtis/Schiff 'Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act' introduction occurring during the comment window.

+# CFTC ANPRM comment record closes with 1,500+ submissions and zero governance market mentions, suggesting NPRM will be calibrated to sports/election event contract patterns
+
+The CFTC ANPRM comment period closed April 30, 2026 with 1,500+ public submissions—double the 800+ count from mid-April. Despite this high comment density, 37 sessions of tracking found zero mentions of futarchy, governance markets, decision markets, MetaDAO, or TWAP settlement mechanisms. The ANPRM's framing explicitly solicited comments on 'gaming' and 'sports competition' implications for prediction markets, asking which categories should be prohibited and how CEA core principles apply. Norton Rose context confirms the ANPRM published March 16, 2026 with CFTC Director Miller signaling March 31 that 'era of regulation by enforcement is over'—formal rulemaking is the path forward. The NPRM expected 6-18 months after comment close (October 2026–October 2027) will be built from this record. What's absent from the comment record is less likely to appear in the NPRM scope. The governance market gap at maximum comment record density suggests the formal rulemaking will be calibrated to sports/election event contract patterns that dominated the discourse, not governance market structures that remained invisible. This is inference from absence, not proof—regulatory creativity can exceed the comment record—but the 1,500-comment sample represents the highest recorded density of regulatory discourse on prediction markets.

 The ANPRM was published March 16, 2026 in the Federal Register (document 2026-05105) with a comment period closing April 30, 2026. The ANPRM explicitly asks 'which categories of event contracts should be treated as contrary to the public interest and thus prohibited' — framing the rulemaking as contraction of prediction market scope rather than expansion. Context shows DCMs certified approximately 1,600 event contracts in 2025 based on financial indices, economic indicators, weather, political events, international events, scientific/cultural events, and sporting events — no governance markets mentioned in the baseline scope.

+**Source:** CFTC ANPRM comment record, closed April 30, 2026
+
+The closed comment record with 1,500+ submissions contains zero mentions of governance markets, futarchy, decision markets, MetaDAO, or TWAP settlement across 37 sessions of tracking. The ANPRM's explicit framing on 'gaming' and 'sports competition' implications created a discourse boundary that excluded governance market structures entirely.
