A report concerning emails sent by CFTC chair nominee Brian Quintenz and his expected chief of staff has been “making the rounds on the Hill,” a leading cryptocurrency commentator said, amid repeated delays to the Senate committee vote on Quintenz’s nomination…
The emails may raise questions about potential conflict-of-interest matters as Quintenz is still a director and shareholder of Kalshi, which is regulated by the CFTC, and may have received information or discussed matters concerning Kalshi or its competitors.
Quintenz promised to step down from Kalshi’s board and divest his shares if he becomes CFTC chair, but — having not yet been confirmed — has not done so yet.
