The confirmation of Brian Quintenz, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) chair nominee, has been delayed, prompting the White House to search for a new candidate. Quintenz has faced obstacles in the confirmation process since being nominated last February.
On the 19th (local time), Bloomberg, citing informed sources, reported, "Quintenz's confirmation is delayed, and the White House is reviewing a new CFTC chair." It is known that those under consideration include pro-virtual-asset (cryptocurrency) figures.
Meanwhile, under the rules the CFTC should have five commissioners. However, currently only one commissioner, Caroline Pham, is serving as acting chair.
