Tyler Winklevoss expresses serious concern over Trump's nomination of CFTC Chairman Brian Quintenz

According to The Block, Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss expressed "serious concern" over former US President Trump's nomination of Brian Quintenz as Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Winklevoss pointed out that Quintenz, as the global policy director of a16z and a member of the Kalshi board, has a conflict of interest and questions his ability to lead the CFTC. Recently, emails have been exposed indicating that Quintenz may be attempting to obtain non-public information related to Kalshi's competitors within the CFTC. The White House has requested the Senate Agriculture Committee to postpone the vote on its nomination, as the industry has expressed concerns about its policy stance, interests, and attitude towards the cryptocurrency industry.
