Crypto Lobby Rallies Behind Brian Quintenz for CFTC – But Will the Senate Move?

The digital asset associations revealed on Wednesday that several key crypto trade organizations have sent a letter to U.S. President Donald Trump urging the “expeditious confirmation” of Brian Quintenz as chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Crypto Groups Unite to Back Quintenz Nomination Signed by the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI), Blockchain Association, Decentralization Research Center, DeFi Education Fund, The Digital Chamber, Satoshi Action Fund, and the Solana Policy Institute, the August 20 letter pushes for Quintenz’s “prompt confirmation” to help “ensure a golden age for digital assets in America.” It is my great honor to be nominated by President @realDonaldTrump as the next Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where I had served as a Commissioner in his last administration.
