Trump Considers New CFTC Chair Pick Amid Brian Quintenz’s Clash With Winklevoss

The Trump administration is reportedly weighing new candidates for the CFTC Chair role, with a focus on individuals who are working on crypto policy. This comes amid the current nominee Brian Quintenz’s conflict with Gemini’s co-founder, Tyler Winklevoss. This is significant as the CFTC, along with the SEC, is the primary regulator for the crypto industry under the proposed CLARITY Act.
