 ProphetX's Section 4(c) proposal is architecturally more durable than field preemption because it provides explicit CFTC permission that directly overrides Rule 40.11's 'shall not list' prohibition, rather than arguing around it through implicit preemption. If 9th Circuit rejects preemption, Section 4(c) provides fallback path.

+ProphetX's Section 4(c) proposal is architecturally more durable than field preemption because it provides explicit CFTC permission that directly overrides Rule 40.11's 'shall not list' prohibition, rather than arguing that sports contracts are authorized swaps despite Rule 40.11. This creates a fallback path if courts reject the preemption argument.

 Bloomberg Law reports April 16, 2026 Ninth Circuit oral arguments showed all three Trump-appointed judges (Nelson, Bade, Lee) expressing marked skepticism toward prediction markets and CFTC preemption arguments. Judge Nelson focused on Rule 40.11's prohibition of gaming contracts on DCMs unless CFTC grants exceptions. Legal observers at the argument consensus: panel appears likely to rule for Nevada. Combined with 3rd Circuit's April 6 ruling for Kalshi (2-1, preliminary injunction for federal preemption), a 9th Circuit ruling for Nevada creates confirmed circuit split. Fortune (April 20) describes case as 'hurtling toward the Supreme Court.'

+ProphetX's Section 4(c) proposal represents a regulatory strategy that could survive a hostile SCOTUS ruling on preemption. If the Court rejects field preemption, Section 4(c) provides an alternative path through explicit CFTC authorization rather than implied preemption.
