The statutory history shows Congress deliberately revised Section 12(e)(2) to exclude swaps from the preemption framework that covers commodity futures. Maryland argues: 'the current Section 12(e)(2) reflects a deliberate choice by Congress to preempt the application of state and local gaming laws to certain commodity futures but not to swaps.' This confirms that 'swaps' classification does NOT provide federal preemption protection for non-DCM platforms like MetaDAO. Congress intentionally chose this limit, and also cited 7 U.S.C. § 16(h) showing Congress knows how to preempt state law when it intends to—but chose not to for swaps. diff --git a/inbox/queue/2026-04-xx-maryland-swaps-preemption-dodd-frank-exclusion.md b/inbox/archive/internet-finance/2026-04-xx-maryland-swaps-preemption-dodd-frank-exclusion.md similarity index 97% rename from inbox/queue/2026-04-xx-maryland-swaps-preemption-dodd-frank-exclusion.md rename to inbox/archive/internet-finance/2026-04-xx-maryland-swaps-preemption-dodd-frank-exclusion.md index 985a93670..836f1f237 100644 --- a/inbox/queue/2026-04-xx-maryland-swaps-preemption-dodd-frank-exclusion.md +++ b/inbox/archive/internet-finance/2026-04-xx-maryland-swaps-preemption-dodd-frank-exclusion.md @@ -7,10 +7,13 @@ date: 2026-05-01 domain: internet-finance secondary_domains: [] format: article -status: unprocessed +status: processed +processed_by: rio +processed_date: 2026-05-07 priority: medium tags: [Maryland, Fourth-Circuit, Kalshi, swaps, preemption, CEA, Dodd-Frank, event-contracts, MetaDAO-regulatory] intake_tier: research-task +extraction_model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5" --- ## Content
