 WilmerHale's structural principle reveals why the ANPRM excludes governance markets: the CFTC framework assumes all event contract operators will be DCMs with Form DCM filings, clearing organizations, and registered intermediaries. The non-DCM case is not discussed because it falls outside the structural architecture that triggers CFTC jurisdiction.

+
+The enforcement priorities framework confirms the ANPRM's structural exclusion of governance markets. Miller's focus on DCM-registered platforms and external event outcomes mirrors the ANPRM's framing. The absence of governance market mentions across 31 consecutive research sessions and six major law firm alerts demonstrates this is not an oversight but a stable regulatory boundary.

 With Texas entering as a potential 6th state enforcement action, the CFTC's 535 employees (after 24% cut) would be managing 6+ simultaneous state campaigns, further straining enforcement capacity beyond the previously documented four-state offensive.

+Miller's five enforcement priorities (insider trading, market manipulation, market abuse/disruptive trading, retail fraud, AML/KYC violations) represent explicit resource allocation decisions by a depleted enforcement division. The focus on DCM-registered platforms and external event outcomes reflects capacity constraints forcing concentration on established regulatory categories rather than novel theory expansion into governance markets.

 **Source:** Cleary Gottlieb, March 2026
 
 Cleary Gottlieb's comprehensive prediction market regulatory analysis 'contains no analysis of DAO governance markets or blockchain-based conditional markets as security-based swaps.' The CFTC ANPRM includes inquiry into 'whether there are any considerations specific to blockchain-based markets' but no substantive treatment. This confirms the governance market gap extends to SEC-focused securities practitioners, not just CFTC-focused commodity practitioners.

+
+CFTC Enforcement Director Miller's March 31, 2026 priorities speech at NYU Law focused exclusively on insider trading in prediction markets at DCM-registered platforms, with zero mention of governance markets, decision markets, or futarchy across the primary source and six major law firm alerts (Sullivan & Cromwell, Skadden, Morrison Foerster, Davis Polk, Latham, Paul Weiss). The enforcement framework is bounded to (1) DCM-registered platforms and (2) trading on material non-public information about external event outcomes. This suggests governance markets settling against endogenous TWAP are outside the stated enforcement perimeter on both dimensions.

 Nelson's Rule 40.11 reasoning creates a new analytical angle for the endogeneity argument: if DCM-listed sports contracts with external settlement are losing preemption protection, then MetaDAO's non-DCM governance markets with endogenous TWAP settlement are even further from the enforcement zone that is tightening around DCM operators. Non-DCM status is increasingly protective, not a regulatory gap.

+
+Miller's enforcement priorities define insider trading concern as 'traders with material non-public information about event outcomes' at DCM-registered platforms. The framework assumes external event resolution, not endogenous TWAP settlement. Zero mention of governance markets or endogenous pricing mechanisms across all law firm alerts confirms the regulatory discourse gap is stable and that TWAP settlement remains outside the event contract enforcement perimeter.
