Brian Quintens, a candidate for the head of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has disclosed details of his investments, including assets in crypto companies. According to Bloomberg, Quintens, who previously led the hedge fund Saeculum Capital Management and worked at the CFTC, invested in digital assets through the venture firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).
His portfolio includes projects related to blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi), as well as traditional assets such as stocks and real estate.
Quintens' appointment could strengthen the CFTC's role in regulating the crypto market, particularly regarding Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are classified as commodities. This may lead to an expansion of oversight over the spot markets for cryptocurrencies.
Experts believe that his experience in investing in crypto assets will contribute to a balanced approach to regulation, taking into account the interests of innovation and investor protection.
