币界网报道：During a U.S. Senate nomination hearing, CFTC nominee Brian Quintenz stated the agency would require additional funding and resources if granted expanded authority to regulate cryptocurrencies. The former CFTC commissioner (2017-2021) and current a16z crypto policy head emphasized that new jurisdiction typically warrants new resources, particularly as lawmakers consider legislation to broaden the CFTC's digital asset oversight. Senators including Amy Klobuchar acknowledged the need for enhanced institutional capacity to address emerging crypto challenges. Quintenz faces potential challenges as the sole commissioner initially, following departures of all four current commissioners - including Summer Mersinger who joined Blockchain Association as CEO. The nominee has previously advocated for clearer digital asset classification and jurisdictional boundaries in market regulation.
