 The federal-state jurisdictional conflict is unresolved. If states successfully assert gambling jurisdiction over prediction markets, the CFTC licensing may prove insufficient for nationwide operations. This could force prediction markets into the same fragmented regulatory landscape that online poker faced.

+CFTC regulatory legitimacy is being directly contested by state gaming regulators. Nevada and Massachusetts courts have both rejected the exclusive federal jurisdiction argument, with Nevada court explicitly finding state gaming laws apply. 36 states filed amicus briefs opposing federal preemption, indicating widespread state opposition to CFTC-only regulation.

 PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[Futarchy is manipulation-resistant because attack attempts create profitable opportunities for defenders]]
 WHY ARCHIVED: State-federal jurisdiction crisis is the highest-stakes regulatory question for futarchy. If states win, futarchy governance becomes impractical. The KB has no claim covering this risk. Also important: the sports vs governance market distinction — futarchy markets may be classified differently than sports betting markets.
 EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on (1) existential risk to futarchy from state gaming classification, (2) distinction between sports prediction and governance prediction markets, (3) CFTC rulemaking as potential resolution path.
