US Representative Dina Titus has asked the CFTC to investigate Brian Quintenz, Donald Trump’s pick to run the agency, over his ties to Kalshi.
A US congresswoman has urged the commodities regulator to investigate its nominated chair, Brian Quintenz, over his ties to Kalshi, a prediction platform regulated by the CFTC.
Democratic Representative Dina Titus asked Commodity Futures Trading Commission acting chair Caroline Pham in a letter on Monday to open “an inquiry into whether Mr. Brian Quintenz has violated CFTC policies, any applicable federal statute, or his own ethical pledge prior to his Senate confirmation” to chair the agency.
“Specifically, I request that you release all relevant communications from or about Mr. Quintenz related to prediction markets and event contracts,” she wrote.
