+The CFTC ANPRM creates a separate regulatory risk vector beyond securities classification: gaming/gambling classification under CEA Section 5c(c)(5)(C). The ANPRM's extensive treatment of the gaming distinction (Questions 13-22) asks what characteristics distinguish gaming from gambling and what role participant demographics play, but makes no mention of governance markets. This means futarchy governance markets face dual regulatory risk: even if the Howey defense holds against securities classification, the ANPRM silence creates default gaming classification risk unless stakeholders file comments distinguishing governance markets from sports/entertainment event contracts before April 30, 2026.

 Relevant Notes:
 - [[Living Capital vehicles likely fail the Howey test for securities classification because the structural separation of capital raise from investment decision eliminates the efforts of others prong]] — the Living Capital-specific version with the "slush fund" framing
 - [[the SECs investment contract termination doctrine creates a formal regulatory off-ramp where crypto assets can transition from securities to commodities by demonstrating fulfilled promises or sufficient decentralization]] — the formal pathway supporting this claim

 PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[futarchy-governed entities are structurally not securities because prediction market participation replaces the concentrated promoter effort that the Howey test requires]]
 WHY ARCHIVED: Specific regulatory advocacy opportunity (April 30 comment deadline) with concrete question-by-question entry points for futarchy distinction argument; fills gap in WilmerHale archive's question-level detail
 EXTRACTION HINT: Two claims to extract: (1) the ANPRM silence / default risk observation, (2) the specific economic-purpose-test and gaming-distinction arguments available to futarchy governance markets. Time-sensitive — comment deadline April 30, 2026.
