Cleary Gottlieb
Type: Law firm
Focus: Securities law, derivatives regulation
Relevance: Premier securities law firm providing regulatory analysis of prediction markets
Overview
Cleary Gottlieb is one of the premier securities law firms. Their March 2026 analysis of prediction market regulation identified the SEC security-based swap track as potentially relevant to company-specific event contracts, providing the first external practitioner analysis with statutory citation of the three-part test under 15 U.S.C. § 78c(a)(68).
Timeline
- 2026-03-01 — Published comprehensive analysis of prediction market regulatory landscape including SEC jurisdiction over company-specific event contracts as security-based swaps
Significance
Their identification of the SEC track without any blockchain/DAO analysis confirms the governance market gap extends to SEC-focused practitioners, not just CFTC-focused ones. The analysis is aimed at traditional corporate actors and contains no treatment of DAO governance markets or futarchy mechanisms.
