President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering Brian Quintenz, a former CFTC commissioner and current policy lead for Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto division, for the CFTC chair position. Quintenz, known for his pro-innovation stance, previously oversaw the launch of regulated Bitcoin and Ethereum futures and has advocated for tailored regulations for the crypto industry. Other candidates include current CFTC Commissioners Summer Mersinger and Caroline Pham, as well as legal experts Joshua Sterling and Neal Kumar. If selected, Quintenz would navigate significant policy shifts amid ongoing jurisdictional tensions with the SEC.
