A New Era of Governance: SUI Welcomes Regulatory Veteran
In a strategic move to strengthen institutional credibility, SUI has appointed Brian Quintenz, former commissioner of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), as an independent board member and member of the audit committee. This appointment underscores SUI’s commitment to robust governance amid evolving global regulatory landscapes.
Bridging Policy Expertise with Blockchain Innovation
Quintenz brings extensive experience in financial regulation and digital asset policy, most recently serving as head of policy at a16z crypto. Though his nomination for CFTC chair was withdrawn last year, his deep understanding of regulatory frameworks and market infrastructure remains highly influential in the blockchain space.
- Leading the evolution of treasury strategy and asset allocation
- Enhancing transparency through rigorous audit practices
- Building bridges with international regulatory stakeholders
With the SUI treasury now holding approximately 108 million tokens, effective and compliant management is critical. Quintenz’s role will focus on ensuring responsible stewardship aligned with global financial standards.
The appointment coincides with Michael Selig assuming the CFTC chairmanship in December 2023, signaling a potential shift in U.S. digital asset oversight. SUI’s move reflects a forward-looking approach to regulatory engagement and long-term sustainability.
