White House Explores New CFTC Chair Candidates Amid Quintenz Nomination Stalemate

BTCCSquare news:
The White House is evaluating fresh candidates to lead the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as Brian Quintenz’s nomination remains gridlocked in the Senate. Michael Selig, chief counsel to the SEC’s crypto task force, and Tyler Williams, a Treasury digital-asset advisor, are reportedly under consideration. Neither has publicly addressed the discussions.
The impasse follows Quintenz’s allegations that Gemini founder Tyler Winklevoss attempted to influence his potential CFTC role—a claim rooted in the exchange’s contentious history with the regulator. The delay leaves the CFTC operating under acting leadership amid escalating scrutiny of crypto market oversight.
