Trump CFTC Pick Brian Quintenz Shares Key Messages With Tyler Winklevoss As Confirmation Stalls

Brian Quintenz, U.S. President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), shared messages between him and Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss, amid his stalled confirmation. Brian Quintenz Takes to X Over ‘Paused’ CFTC Nomination According to a September 10 X post on Quintenz’s official account, the a16z crypto policy head claims that Winklevoss asked Trump to have Quintenz’s nomination “paused” following their message exchange.

As a result, the digital asset platform was ordered to pay a civil monetary penalty of $5 million. “Making false or misleading statements to the CFTC in connection with a derivatives product certification undermines the CFTC’s efforts to ensure all futures products trading on CFTC-regulated markets comply with the CEA and CFTC regulations and, among other things, are not readily susceptible to manipulation,” former Director of Enforcement Ian McGinley said in a statement at the time. However, it is still unclear whether Quintenz’s confirmation process will proceed.
