Deep Tide TechFlow News, on August 8, according to Eleanor Terrett, the confirmation process for Brian Quintenz, the nominee for chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), has encountered resistance. Internal emails obtained through the Freedom of Information Act indicate that Quintenz may have accessed CFTC confidential information while serving on the board of the prediction market platform Kalshi, raising ethical concerns.

The White House has requested the Senate Agriculture Committee to postpone the scheduled nomination vote.
