White House Delays CFTC Chair Nomination Vote, Possibly Due to Quintenz’s Attempt to Obtain Confidential Information from Competitors

According to ChainCatcher, as revealed by crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, the White House has postponed the vote on advancing the nomination of the CFTC chair. The delay is reportedly due to concerns that the nominee, Quintenz, and his team sought to obtain confidential CFTC information related to competitors such as Polymarket and PredictIt while he was still serving as a director at Kalshi, raising issues of potential conflicts of interest.
