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' (Section 1a definition). 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 'event contracts' under a functional interpretation, they would still fall outside the Act's scope because they are not DCM/SEF-listed. The protection is structural (non-registration) rather than substantive (market design), making it weaker than an explicit carve-out—if Congress or the CFTC expands scope to include non-registered platforms in future amendments, this protection disappears. The bill has not been enacted and faces competing legislation (Curtis-Schiff Prediction Markets Are Gambling Act) that would prohibit rather than regulate prediction markets.
