But according to a <strong>Politico report in July<\/strong>, Gemini co-founders <strong>Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss<\/strong> personally lobbied President Trump against him, arguing that he wasn\u2019t \u201caligned with\u201d the administration\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move has created a deep divide in the industry: the Winklevoss twins leading quiet opposition on one side, and nearly every major advocacy group in Washington presenting a unified front in support on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Quintenz Matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Supporters say Quintenz\u2019s background makes him uniquely qualified to lead the CFTC at a critical moment. As chair of the <strong>CFTC\u2019s Technology Advisory Committee<\/strong>, he spearheaded the agency\u2019s most comprehensive public discussions on digital assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his tenure, the CFTC approved the first U.S.-regulated <strong>Bitcoin and Ether futures contracts<\/strong> a milestone that helped bring institutional legitimacy to crypto markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMr. Quintenz\u2019s extensive experience and substantive and technical understanding of blockchains, digital assets, and financial markets makes him exceptionally well-suited to lead the CFTC at this critical juncture,\u201d the letter reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Leadership Vacuum at the CFTC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The groups warn that the agency cannot afford further delays. With new legislation set to expand the CFTC\u2019s authority over digital asset commodities, the regulator is operating without a permanent leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several commissioners have recently left or announced plans to step down, leaving the agency in a weakened position. The lobbying coalition argues that only a confirmed chair has the authority to coordinate with other regulators, provide clear guidance, and build a long-term framework for crypto oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s Next<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The battle over Quintenz\u2019s nomination is shaping up as a pivotal moment for crypto regulation in the U.S. \u2014 one that highlights not only internal industry divisions but also the stakes of who will guide the CFTC through its expanding role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, the industry lobby is making its stance clear: it wants Quintenz confirmed, and soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Quintenz\u2019s nomination to lead the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has hit repeated delays but the crypto industry is rallying behind him.
