# The CFTC ANPRM comment record as of April 2026 contains zero filings distinguishing futarchy governance markets from event betting markets, creating a default regulatory framework that will apply gambling-use-case restrictions to governance-use-case mechanisms
@ -24,3 +24,10 @@ The CFTC's Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on prediction markets (RIN 3038
**Source:** BettorsInsider, Selig House Agriculture Committee testimony, April 16 2026
Selig's testimony focused on 'event contracts' broadly, with no mention of governance markets or futarchy. The ANPRM key questions listed were: 'Which event contracts should face heightened scrutiny? How to handle inside information in prediction markets? Whether event contracts should be classified as futures or swaps? How existing core principles (market surveillance, manipulation) should apply?' None of these questions distinguish between prediction markets for forecasting and decision markets for governance, confirming the CFTC is treating all event contracts as a single category.
## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act, March 2026
Curtis-Schiff bill treats all prediction market contracts uniformly as gambling without distinguishing governance use cases, demonstrating that the lack of futarchy-specific commentary in CFTC proceedings has resulted in legislation that conflates event betting and organizational governance markets.

**Source:** MultiState coverage of Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act (March 2026)
Curtis-Schiff bipartisan bill demonstrates that the regulatory capture risk extends beyond administrative rulemaking to Congressional legislation. The bipartisan nature (Republican Curtis from non-gaming Utah + Democrat Schiff from California) suggests the anti-gambling coalition is broader and more durable than partisan regulatory battles. However, the bill's explicit scope limitation to CFTC-registered DCM platforms creates a structural protection for on-chain futarchy governance markets that operate outside the DCM framework.
## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** MultiState legislative tracking, March 23, 2026
Curtis-Schiff Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act (March 2026) explicitly defines sports event contracts as gambling products requiring state gaming licenses rather than CFTC-regulated derivatives, with bipartisan Senate sponsorship including Republican Curtis (Utah) suggesting opposition extends beyond partisan lines. Bill targets CFTC-registered DCM platforms but does not explicitly address on-chain futarchy governance markets, creating potential scope distinction.

## Extending Evidence
**Source:** MultiState, March 2026
Legislative pathway through Curtis-Schiff bill represents qualitatively different threat than court challenges because Congressional action can directly redefine CFTC jurisdiction regardless of legal precedent. Bipartisan sponsorship (Curtis R-Utah, Schiff D-California) increases political durability beyond partisan opposition. Bill scope limitation to CFTC-registered DCM platforms may create regulatory arbitrage opportunity for on-chain futarchy implementations.
