Senate committee to consider Trump’s pick for CFTC chair

After four months, Brian Quintenz’s nomination to head the CFTC is advancing to the Senate Agriculture Committee.

Quintenz is scheduled to testify during the Senate hearing on June 10, 2025, which follows recent departures in the commission.

His confirmation could lead to a substantial shift in agency leadership, and his disclosed crypto assets of about 3.4 million USD raise conflict of interest concerns.
