Primary extraction: claim about CFTC rulemaking as resolution path for state-federal jurisdiction conflict. Enrichments: extended Polymarket claim with regulatory response context, extended futarchy fundraising claim with CFTC rulemaking timeline. Entity updates: created CFTC entity, updated Kalshi and Polymarket timelines. Confidence: experimental (single legal analysis source, rulemaking not yet proposed, scope unclear)."
