Trump’s Stalled CFTC Chair Pick Escalates Public Feud With Winklevoss Twins
Washington's crypto power struggle just went nuclear—Trump's frozen CFTC nominee throws gasoline on the Winklevoss rivalry.
Regulatory Gridlock Meets Billionaire Egos
The nomination's been gathering dust for months, but now the gloves are off. Instead of quietly navigating Senate confirmations, Trump's pick decided to take the fight public—dragging the famous twin billionaires into a political street brawl.
Washington insiders whisper this move reeks of desperation—a calculated gamble to force movement on a stalled appointment. Because nothing says 'qualified regulator' like picking public fights with crypto's most recognizable entrepreneurs.
Meanwhile, the CFTC remains leaderless—perfect timing while crypto markets hit record volumes and regulatory clarity remains as clear as mud. Typical government efficiency: endless bureaucracy while billions change hands in unregulated markets.
Final thought? When regulators prioritize personal vendettas over policy, everyone loses—except maybe lawyers collecting consultation fees.
