Brian Quintenz, nominated by the Trump administration as CFTC chairman, has faced obstacles in the confirmation process, with Senate committee votes canceled twice. The CFTC is set to play a key role in future cryptocurrency regulation, as Congress works on legislation to expand its regulatory authority over the industry.
