币圈对美国监管影响力这么大了，逼得CFTC提名人“公开抱怨”

Group 1 - The core issue revolves around a conflict between the cryptocurrency sector and U.S. regulatory appointments, specifically involving Brian Quintenz's nomination as CFTC chairman and allegations from the Winklevoss brothers regarding interference in the confirmation process [1][3]. - Quintenz publicly accused the Winklevoss brothers of contacting President Trump to request a pause on his nomination, sharing evidence of their conversation on the encrypted messaging platform Signal [1][3]. - The controversy stems from a 2022 enforcement action by the CFTC against Gemini, which resulted in a $5 million fine for allegedly making false or misleading statements related to Bitcoin futures contracts [3]. Group 2 - The CFTC has undergone significant personnel changes in its enforcement division, including the dismissal and demotion of several officials involved in the Gemini case, such as Deputy Director Manal Sultan and Chief Litigation Attorney Alejandra de Urioste [5]. - Reports indicate that some employees received 60-day termination notices in July and will be leaving in the coming weeks, while others have been reassigned to non-enforcement roles [5]. - The CFTC stated that these layoffs are part of a restructuring effort aimed at reducing unnecessary reporting layers and reallocating personnel for new departments, although they did not comment on specific individuals or cases [5].
