CFTC Chairman-elect Quintenz releases text messages with Gemini founder, Gemini seeks enforcement commitment

Brian Quintenz, the incoming chairman of the US CFTC, has released text messages with the Winklevoss twins, co-founders of Gemini, on the X platform. These text messages reveal that Gemini sought legal commitments regarding its civil case against the CFTC, but Quintenz refused to provide them. Quintenz claims that Gemini contacted the White House after the text messages to request a halt to his nomination. Gemini is about to launch an IPO, targeting a $3 billion valuation.
