Major digital asset trade groups are rallying behind the nomination of Brian Quintenz for Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), pressing the White House to break a confirmation deadlock that has stalled his path. Seven influential advocacy groups, including the Crypto Council for Innovation and Blockchain Association, penned a joint letter urging President Trump to expedite the confirmation process, citing Quintenz’s strong track record and his leadership in shaping federal discussions on digital assets. His nomination was initially backed by industry stakeholders but has faced resistance from prominent figures, notably Gemini co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who actively lobbied against his confirmation.
