Trump CFTC nominee Quintenz openly argues with Gemini founder

According to ChainCatcher, according to Decrypt, Trump's nominated presidential candidate Brian Quintenz publicly released a screenshot of his private information with the brothers Winklevos, the founder of the Gemini Exchange, on social media on Wednesday, making the dispute between the two parties public. Quintenz said the Winklevos brothers were trying to block their nominations because he refused to promise to meet their request for CFTC reform. According to the announced dialogue, the Winklevos brothers expressed dissatisfaction with the CFTC's previous investigation and litigation handling, and hinted that they would contact President Trump directly to discuss the matter. Shortly after these conversations, the White House asked the Senate to withdraw its vote on Quintenz's nomination. Quintenz is currently the global policy leader for venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz, who served as a CFTC committee member during Trump's first term. Several cryptocurrency lobby groups have urged the president to continue supporting Quintenz's nomination.
