 **Source:** HPC ANPRM comment, April 30, 2026
 
 HPC submitted the only comment specifically about decentralized prediction markets in 800+ ANPRM submissions. The comment is sophisticated (end-to-end transparency, no single point of failure, function-based regulation) but focuses entirely on structural decentralization (no custodian, on-chain settlement) without any mention of governance markets, decision markets, futarchy, or functional differentiation between event-betting and organizational governance. This confirms the governance market distinction is absent even from the most advanced advocacy.

+Comment period closed April 30, 2026. Agent notes indicate 800+ comments were submitted (per Session 35 data) but 'the absence of governance market mentions in the comment record reduces the probability that the final rule will explicitly scope them in.' The ANPRM's focus on prohibition categories ('which categories of event contracts should be PROHIBITED') combined with zero governance market mentions in the comment record means the final NPRM will be calibrated to sports/election event contract patterns.

 **Source:** ZwillGen, May 3 2026
 
 ZwillGen, a specialist gaming/prediction market law firm tracking Massachusetts Kalshi from initial enforcement through SJC appeal, published day-before-argument analysis with zero discussion of governance markets, futarchy, or conditional token mechanisms. The analytical frame remains entirely sports/election event contracts even at this final pre-argument stage.

+
+The ANPRM was published March 16, 2026 in the Federal Register (document 2026-05105) with a comment period closing April 30, 2026. The ANPRM explicitly asks 'which categories of event contracts should be treated as contrary to the public interest and thus prohibited' — framing the rulemaking as contraction of prediction market scope rather than expansion. Context shows DCMs certified approximately 1,600 event contracts in 2025 based on financial indices, economic indicators, weather, political events, international events, scientific/cultural events, and sporting events — no governance markets mentioned in the baseline scope.

 **Source:** Third Circuit swap definition interpretation, KalshiEX v. Flaherty (2026)
 
 The Third Circuit's broad swap definition (payment dependent on event with 'potential financial, economic, or commercial consequence') creates an alternative regulatory classification for MetaDAO's conditional markets. Rather than arguing they're NOT event contracts due to TWAP endogeneity, they might affirmatively BE swaps—financial products settling on governance token price movements. This opens a new analytical track: governance markets as federally-protected swaps rather than state-regulated gaming or unregulated event contracts.

+**Source:** CFTC ANPRM 2026-03-16, comment period closed 2026-04-30
+
+The ANPRM is the formal rulemaking track where the endogeneity argument could be tested. The ANPRM asks 'How do CEA core principles and existing CFTC regulations apply to prediction markets?' — this is the procedural moment where the distinction between exogenous event settlement (covered) and endogenous TWAP settlement (potentially excluded) would need to be argued. The comment period has closed without this distinction being raised, meaning the endogeneity defense remains untested in the formal regulatory record.
