Brian Quintenz, a former CFTC commissioner, is reportedly the frontrunner for the CFTC chair role under the incoming Trump administration, according to Bloomberg. Quintenz, currently at Andreessen Horowitz's crypto division, a16z, has a history of supporting digital asset innovation and regulatory clarity. His potential appointment could influence the ongoing jurisdictional debate between the CFTC and SEC over cryptocurrencies. Quintenz has criticized the SEC's handling of Ether, citing its approval of Ether futures ETFs as evidence of ETH's non-security status. A16z anticipates a pro-crypto stance from the new administration.
