Brian Quintenz's nomination vote to become chairman of the U.S. CFTC has been postponed again
BlockBeats News, July 29th, according to Bitcoin.com, the process of Trump's nomination of Brian Quintenz as the new chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) may once again be stalled—his name has been removed from the meeting agenda of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
Quintenz, a former CFTC commissioner, is currently the policy head of the prominent venture capital firm a16z's crypto division. In another meeting of the same committee last week, his name was also abruptly taken off the voting list. Although the officials did not explain the reason for the removal, there is widespread speculation that his nomination may be facing issues.
