White House postpones vote on Brian Quintenz's nomination for CFTC chairman


according to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett's post on X platform, the White House has postponed the vote on Brian Quintenz's nomination as CFTC chairman. It is reported that there are many speculations within Washington D.C. Some say it is due to concerns about the vote count, while others point to lobbying from the American Gaming Association (AGA) regarding Brian Quintenz's support for prediction markets. Some believe it is due to unease expressed by industry figures such as the Winklevoss twins. The White House has not yet provided a reason for the nomination delay and stated to Bloomberg yesterday that Brian Quintenz remains the nominee for the position nominated by President Trump.
