The post **Quintenz Withdrawal Could Leave CFTC Leadership in Flux as Solana Policy Institute and Crypto Groups Urge Trump to Nominate Crypto-Friendly Chair** appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The White House has withdrawn Brian Quintenz’s nomination for Chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) after months of delay and reported opposition from influential donors. This decision has left the CFTC without a confirmed chair amid a government shutdown and multiple recent commissioner departures.
Quintenz’s nomination was under consideration for over seven months, but the withdrawal marks a significant leadership gap for the CFTC at a critical time. Currently, the commission is led by acting chair Caroline Pham, who remains the sole confirmed official.
Industry voices, including the Solana Policy Institute and various crypto groups, are now urging former President Donald Trump to nominate a crypto-friendly chair to fill the vacancy. These groups emphasize the importance of leadership that understands the unique challenges and innovation within the cryptocurrency sector.
As the CFTC navigates this period of uncertainty, market participants and regulators alike are watching closely to see how the leadership transition will affect regulatory policy and the broader crypto ecosystem.
