CFTC Trump’s nominee for CFTC chair, a former CFTC commissioner and current Head of Policy for Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto arm Brian Quintenz, is facing some opposition from Congress and, surprisingly enough, some in the crypto industry. His confirmation has dragged on longer than most of Trump’s appointees, and several scheduled confirmation hearing votes were canceled — most recently at the White House’s request, with no explanation. Quintenz is a shareholder and board member of the CFTC-regulated prediction market Kalshi, which has been heavily engaged with the CFTC over the past few years as it battled a lawsuit from the agency and sought new regulatory approvals [I66, 68, 76, 83]. On July 26, gambling consultant Dustin Gouker published excerpts of emails obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests, suggesting Quintenz and intermediaries were seeking confidential information that could present conflicts of interest given his role at Kalshi.14
