 **Source:** Kalshi public enforcement announcements, April 2026
 
 Kalshi's April 2026 enforcement actions provide concrete evidence of the three principal types with insider information: government officials (policy knowledge), ICO teams (operational knowledge), and now candidates (electoral knowledge). The fines imposed ($540-$6,229) are orders of magnitude smaller than the information advantage these principals possess, demonstrating the deterrent inadequacy problem. Kalshi distinguished between cooperative cases (lighter penalties) and adversarial violations (heavier penalties + disgorgement), showing platforms are developing enforcement gradations but still lack proportional deterrents.

+Norton Rose notes the CFTC's February 2026 advisory retaining authority to police illegal trading including insider trading/misappropriation, and Rule 180.1 prohibiting manipulative or deceptive conduct. The ANPRM specifically asks about 'events controlled by a single individual or small group' as insider trading risk—but governance markets where informed participants are the most valuable traders remain unaddressed in the legal analysis.

 CFTC Enforcement Director David Miller's five stated priorities (March 31, 2026 at NYU Law School) focus exclusively on DCM-registered platform conduct with zero mention of governance markets, decentralized protocols, or on-chain futarchy. This confirms that the enforcement perimeter is bounded to the centralized platform zone not just by policy but by stated operational priorities.

+
+Norton Rose Fulbright's comprehensive April 30, 2026 synthesis covering preemption framework, enforcement context, and rulemaking direction makes zero mention of governance markets, futarchy, MetaDAO, or decision markets despite being published by the most prolific prediction market law firm commentator at the moment the ANPRM comment period closed. The synthesis covers sports contracts, insider trading, cross-market manipulation, and events controlled by small groups—but governance markets are completely absent from the legal analysis.

 Polymarket's strategy confirms that DCM registration is the gateway to CFTC preemption protection. The 2022 settlement banned US users from the unregistered main exchange. The November 2025 QCEX acquisition created a registered DCM for limited contracts. Now Polymarket seeks to extend DCM coverage to the main exchange through an 'Amended Order of Designation'—demonstrating that preemption protection requires formal DCM registration, not just CFTC settlement.

+
+The 9th Circuit dissent's functional equivalence test ('virtually indistinguishable from sports betting') creates a parallel question for unregistered governance markets: does prediction market trading in governance markets prove meaningfully different from sports betting? The dissent's logic suggests the functional test might actually help futarchy markets (they look unlike sports betting) more than it hurts, while the majority's regulatory-status test (are you a registered DCM?) provides no protection for unregistered on-chain protocols.

+
+Norton Rose's comprehensive synthesis discusses CFTC event contracts, insider trading frameworks, and cross-market manipulation without any mention of TWAP settlement or endogenous price mechanisms as a distinct category. The legal profession's most thorough prediction market analysis treats all prediction markets as external event contracts, confirming the conceptual gap around governance markets settling against internal token prices.

+
+The MLB-CFTC MOU (March 19, 2026) represents the first framework between a professional sports league and CFTC for prediction market integrity cooperation. Sports leagues becoming integrated into prediction market oversight creates another layer of structural distinction from governance markets—no sports league integration is possible or necessary for governance markets, further differentiating them from the sports betting category that dominates regulatory attention.
