**Source:** Norton Rose Fulbright ANPRM analysis, April 2026
Norton Rose provides detailed comment composition breakdown: 800+ total submissions as of April 19, 2026, with only 19 filed before April 2. Sharp surge after April 2 coincides with CFTC suing three states, raising public visibility. Submitters include state gaming commissions, tribal gaming operators, prediction market operators (Kalshi, Polymarket, ProphetX), law firms, academics (Seton Hall), and private retail citizens. Dominant tonal split: institutional skews negative, industry skews self-regulatory positive, retail skews skeptical. This extends the claim by showing the comment surge is driven by retail citizen participation (predominantly skeptical) after the multi-state litigation, not just institutional stakeholders.

The retail citizen comments (predominantly skeptical) represent a new dynamic - genuine public engagement from people who see prediction markets as gambling, not just a battle between states and industry.

**Source:** Norton Rose Fulbright ANPRM analysis, April 2026
Norton Rose analysis indicates the ANPRM asks 'whether asymmetric information trading should be permitted across different event categories' and that the proposed rule will likely include 'Insider trading standards sharpened — explicit affirmative disclosure obligations closing Regulation 180.1 gap.' The ANPRM structure includes a dedicated section on 'Inside information' as one of six core topics with separately numbered questions. This confirms the regulatory gap exists and is being actively addressed, but the framework being developed applies to event contracts generally without distinguishing governance markets where insider knowledge is governance participation.
## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** Norton Rose Fulbright ANPRM analysis, CFTC ANPRM insider information questions
ANPRM explicitly asks whether asymmetric information trading should be permitted across different event categories. Norton Rose analysis indicates insider trading standards will be sharpened with 'explicit affirmative disclosure obligations closing Regulation 180.1 gap.' This confirms the regulatory framework is moving toward stricter insider trading enforcement, which creates the futarchy governance paradox where informed governance participants are simultaneously the most valuable traders and the most restricted.

**Source:** Norton Rose Fulbright ANPRM analysis, April 2026
Norton Rose analysis documents state gaming commissions' core arguments include 'Tribal gaming compact threat: IGRA-protected exclusivity undermined' and notes tribal gaming operators submitted ANPRM comments. This confirms tribal gaming exclusivity is a central issue in the preemption debate.
## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** Norton Rose Fulbright ANPRM analysis, state gaming commission ANPRM comments
State gaming commissions cite tribal gaming compact threat in ANPRM comments, noting IGRA-protected exclusivity is undermined by federal preemption. Arizona filed first-ever criminal charges on March 17, and eleven states now have enforcement actions. This confirms the tribal gaming exclusivity elimination mechanism is actively driving state opposition.

Norton Rose analysis documents Selig's April 17, 2026 House Agriculture Committee testimony where he stated 'CFTC will no longer sit idly by while overzealous state governments undermine the agency's exclusive jurisdiction' and warned unregulated prediction markets could be 'the next FTX.' Analysis notes 'Sole commissioner creates structural concentration risk — all major prediction market regulatory decisions flow through one person with prior Kalshi board membership. Regulatory favorability is administration-contingent, not institutionally durable.' This confirms the concentration risk with specific testimony evidence.

Chairman Selig testified April 17 before House Agriculture Committee stating 'CFTC will no longer sit idly by while overzealous state governments undermine the agency's exclusive jurisdiction' and warned unregulated prediction markets could be 'the next FTX.' He hired David Miller (former CIA/SDNY) as Enforcement Director specifically for prediction markets. Norton Rose analysis notes Selig is the sole sitting CFTC commissioner, creating structural concentration where all major prediction market regulatory decisions flow through one person with prior Kalshi board membership.

State gaming commissions' ANPRM comments cite that 'during NFL season, ~90% of Kalshi contracts involved sports — makes derivatives not gambling distinction hard to maintain.' This provides specific quantitative evidence that prediction market volume is dominated by sports betting, not information aggregation markets.
## Supporting Evidence
**Source:** Norton Rose Fulbright ANPRM analysis, state gaming commission comments
State gaming commissions argue that during NFL season, approximately 90% of Kalshi contracts involved sports, making the 'derivatives not gambling' distinction hard to maintain. This data point from state gaming commission ANPRM comments directly supports the claim that prediction market growth is primarily sports gambling rather than information aggregation.
