Brian Quintenz, nominated by former President Donald Trump to chair the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, disclosed $3.4 million in assets alongside extensive connections to cryptocurrency and prediction markets. His current role as Global Head of Crypto Policy at Andreessen Horowitz’s a16z and board position at prediction market platform Kalshi have drawn scrutiny.

Quintenz will resign from a16z upon Senate confirmation. His financial holdings include stock and options in Kalshi and Next Level Derivatives, a finance brokerage. The appointment comes as the CFTC faces increasing pressure to regulate the rapidly evolving digital asset space.
