Abstract generation in progress

Tyler Winklevoss and many industry members oppose the nomination of Brian Quintenz, former global policy leader at a16z, by President Donald Trump to be the Chairman of the CFTC. They argue that he has serious conflicts of interest and a mindset that contradicts the crypto-friendly direction of the Trump administration.

Recent leaked emails suggest that Quintenz may have attempted to access internal information from CFTC regarding competitors of Kalshi — the prediction platform of which he is a board member. Additionally, critics are concerned about the stance on supporting CBDC, liability for smart contract programmers, and the desire to expand the CFTC budget.

Although they once supported him, the Winklevoss twins now declare: "He is not fit for this role."
