In a Tuesday notice, SUI Group said it appointed former CFTC commissioner Brian Quintenz to its board to support the company’s treasury strategy and strengthen its regulatory and policy work, according to a company announcement said. The company framed the hire as a move to reinforce its oversight and policy capabilities amid its digital asset holdings.
The firm reported holding 107,743,979 SUI tokens, valued at about $200 million as of the third quarter of 2025, in its latest quarterly filing reported. The company said the board appointment will play a role in shaping its treasury approach to those assets.
Brian Quintenz was a commissioner at the CFTC from 2017 to 2021 under President Trump. He later served as global head of policy for a16z crypto, joined the board of prediction market platform Kalshi in 2021, and worked as an adviser to Crypto.com from 2021 to 2022.
Several lawmakers and industry figures backed Quintenz’s earlier nomination to lead the CFTC. In September, Quintenz released text messages with Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss that indicated the pair sought certain assurances about CFTC enforcement; a few weeks later, Michael Selig was nominated to chair the agency.
As of January, the CFTC is operating with only one commissioner, Michael Selig, though the agency normally has five commissioners. The White House has not announced additional nominations, leaving the regulator short of a full complement of Senate-confirmed commissioners.
