1/ CCI strongly supports @SenateAgGOP and @SenateAgDems scheduled consideration of Brian Quintenz to serve as Chairman of the CFTC. His nomination comes at a critical crossroads where the right leadership atop US market regulators is more important than ever.

2/ Specifically, Mr. Quintenz’s past experience as a CFTC Commissioner and work on the Technology Advisory Committee (TAC) demonstrate his forward-thinking application of the @CFTC’s principles-based approach to innovative technologies, market development, and consumer protection.

3/ Recently, Mr. Quintenz’s work with financial technology startups has provided him with direct expertise and insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by the digital asset industry, as well as the transformative impact of the technology itself.

4/ This experience will ensure Mr. Quintenz will provide the leadership at the CFTC necessary to make certain that US derivatives and commodity markets remain at the forefront-–innovative, resilient, and globally respected.

5/ We respectfully urge the Senate to vote to confirm Mr. Quintenz’s nomination as Chairman of the CFTC without delay. Read our letter of support:
