Brian Quintenz, who was nominated last year to chair the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) only to have his nomination pulled by President Donald Trump in October, has found a different role in the prediction market space. The Coalition for Prediction Markets (CPM) announced Wednesday morning that it has brought Quintenz aboard as a senior advisor.
The CPM is a prediction market advocacy group whose members include Kalshi, Crypto.com, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Underdog.
Quintenz is the former global head of policy at a16z crypto and a former CFTC commissioner, and he initially appeared well positioned to be confirmed as CFTC chair.
