The McCormick-Gillibrand Prediction Market Act (S.4469, April 30, 2026) includes explicit insider trading prohibitions and politician trading bans, but these provisions apply only to 'event contracts' as defined by the bill—contracts on DCM/SEF-listed platforms tied to external observable events. The Curtis-Schiff competing bill would prohibit sports/casino contracts entirely. Neither bill addresses insider trading in governance markets where informed participation is structurally necessary for futarchy to function.

The Prediction Market Act of 2026 includes an explicit insider trading ban for politicians trading on prediction markets, treating them as financial instruments subject to insider trading rules. This confirms the bipartisan legislative approach to creating insider trading frameworks for prediction market participants.

|
||||
|
||||
The Prediction Market Act of 2026 (McCormick-Gillibrand) represents the first bipartisan statutory attempt to define event contracts, creating a potential legislative override of the current CFTC regulatory framework. The bill establishes comprehensive federal framework including enhanced DCM certification standards, Office of the Retail Advocate within CFTC, and Advisory Council on Consumer Protection. This is a qualitatively different approach than the Blumenthal 'Prediction Markets Security and Integrity Act' (more restrictive), suggesting multiple competing legislative visions for prediction market regulation.

The competing Curtis-Schiff Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act (March 23, 2026) would PROHIBIT sports and casino-style event contracts on CFTC platforms—the opposite philosophical approach to the McCormick-Gillibrand bill. This creates a two-bill legislative split where Congress could either expand CFTC authority (McCormick-Gillibrand) or restrict it (Curtis-Schiff), showing fundamental disagreement on prediction market philosophy.

|
||||
The legislative branch mirrors the regulatory pattern: both the Curtis-Schiff prohibition bill and the McCormick-Gillibrand regulatory framework focus exclusively on sports, casino, and election contracts on centralized platforms. No mention of DAO governance markets, on-chain prediction markets, or futarchy-style decision markets appears in either bill. This creates a three-branch confirmation: courts (Kalshi litigation), agencies (CFTC ANPRM), and Congress (both 2026 bills) all focus on the same narrow category.

|
||||
The Prediction Market Act was introduced on April 30, 2026—the same day the CFTC ANPRM comment period closed. This timing suggests coordination between legislative drafting and regulatory comment analysis, confirming that the NPRM will be calibrated to the sports/election patterns that dominated the comment record.

# The Prediction Market Act's contingency definition explicitly includes governance vote outcomes as predictable events within the Act's conceptual scope
|
||||
|
||||
The Prediction Market Act defines 'contingency' as 'an event or circumstance that may happen, but is not certain to occur, including the outcome of another event or circumstance.' This definition is broad enough to include DAO governance votes—a proposal passing or failing is a contingency under this language. This means MetaDAO's protection from the Act comes entirely from the DCM/SEF scope limitation, not from intrinsic exclusion as a non-contingency. If MetaDAO's markets were DCM/SEF-listed, they would fall within the Act's event contract definition. This clarifies that governance markets are not categorically different from prediction markets under this framework—the only distinction is registration status. The parenthetical exclusion for 'change in the price, rate, value, or levels of a commodity' does not help MetaDAO because the markets predict governance outcomes (the contingency), even though they settle via TWAP (the price mechanism). The contingency is the vote, not the price change.

# The Prediction Market Act of 2026's event contract definition structurally excludes decentralized governance markets through DCM/SEF listing requirement
|
||||
|
||||
The Prediction Market Act of 2026 defines 'event contract' as a contract 'listed by a designated contract market or swap execution facility.' This is a structural scope limitation, not a functional test. MetaDAO's conditional governance markets operate on decentralized infrastructure without DCM or SEF registration, placing them outside the Act's definitional reach. This creates a parallel defense to the TWAP endogeneity argument: even if MetaDAO's markets were considered to predict 'external' events, they would still fall outside the Act's scope because they are not DCM/SEF-listed. The protection is structural but fragile—if future amendments or rulemaking expand scope to 'any platform' or create a new registration category for decentralized venues, this safe harbor disappears. The bill's competing alternative (Curtis-Schiff Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act) would prohibit sports/casino contracts on CFTC platforms entirely, showing fundamental legislative disagreement on prediction market philosophy.
