U.S. CFTC chair nominee Brian Quintenz seeks crypto industry support

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair nominee Brian Quintenz has been reaching out to crypto industry groups for support as his confirmation remains stalled, according to Crypto in America host Eleanor Terrett on X. The White House has provided no updates since the Senate Agriculture Committee paused his hearing three weeks ago. Leading organizations, including The Digital Chamber, Blockchain Association, Crypto Council for Innovation and DeFi Education Fund, are preparing a letter to the U.S. President Donald Trump endorsing Quintenz and highlighting his “deep expertise, sound judgment, proven leadership, and integrity.”
