Quintenz, a former CFTC Commissioner and seasoned financial policy expert, is being considered to lead the agency at a critical time, as the CFTC continues to play a pivotal role in regulating derivatives markets and overseeing emerging financial technologies, including digital assets.

The hearing will provide committee members the opportunity to question Quintenz on his regulatory philosophy, his priorities for the Commission, and his approach to issues such as market transparency, risk management, and the evolving role of the CFTC in the digital economy.

If confirmed, Quintenz would assume leadership of the agency at a time of significant market innovation and regulatory scrutiny, with key decisions ahead involving crypto markets, climate-related financial risk, and global derivatives oversight.

The session is expected to be open to the public and streamed live via the Senate Committee’s official website.
