Brian Quintenz, who was nominated by Trump to the CFTC, will have a Senate confirmation hearing on June 10.
Cryptocurrency policy is expected to be a key focus for the CFTC in the near future, as lawmakers work to clarify the agency’s oversight role over various types of digital assets.
Quintenz recently disclosed that he holds $3.4 million in assets and positions in crypto-related companies, but stated he would recuse himself from matters and positions that could pose a conflict of interest if confirmed as chairman.
