White House seeks 'swift confirmation' of Brian Quintenz as CFTC chairman
-
最新报道：According to Bloomberg News on July 31st, the White House reiterated its support for Brian Quintenz, Trump's nominee for chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), after delays in confirming him sparked speculation about his candidacy. The matter has been under close scrutiny since the Senate Agriculture Committee abruptly canceled its vote on Quintenz's nomination on Monday. A majority of the committee members must approve his nomination before the Senate can confirm him. At the time, a committee spokesperson stated that the White House requested a delay. According to sources familiar with the matter, cryptocurrency billionaire Tyler Winklevoss had urged the White House to halt or postpone the confirmation process before the vote was postponed. However, the White House reiterated on Wednesday that Quintenz remains the administration's top choice for the position. Spokesperson Liz Huston stated that Quintenz would help make the United States a cryptocurrency capital and expressed hope that he would be confirmed swiftly. After serving as a CFTC commissioner from 2017 to 2021, he served as a senior executive in the cryptocurrency division of venture capital fund a16z and previously served on the board of directors of prediction market platform Kalshi. Quintenz said he would resign from both companies if approved.
