On August 8th, according to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, the appointment process of Brian Quintenz, the chairperson of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) nominated by Trump, has been blocked. Internal emails obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that Quintenz may have had confidential information about the CFTC while serving as a director of Kalshi, a prediction market regulated by the agency. A blog post detailing the emails has circulated on Capitol Hill, raising questions about the matter. The White House has asked the Senate Agriculture Committee to delay the scheduled nomination vote.
