🚨SCOOP: @CFTC nominee @BrianQuintenz has been reaching out to members of the crypto industry for meetings as his nomination remains in limbo, according to three people familiar with the matter. The outreach comes as the White House has stayed silent since pausing his confirmation hearing in the Senate AG committee three weeks ago. Meanwhile, leading trade groups including @DigitalChamber, @BlockchainAssn, @crypto_council, @fund_defi and others are preparing to send a letter of support for Quintenz to President Trump as soon as tomorrow. “Each of our organizations has had the privilege of knowing and working with Mr. Quintenz firsthand, and we can attest to his deep expertise, sound judgment, proven leadership, and integrity,” the letter says. More to come in tomorrow’s @CryptoAmerica_ newsletter.
