Most Influential: Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss

The Winklevoss twins, co-founders of Gemini and prominent Trump donors, demonstrated significant influence by taking credit for pausing and ultimately derailing the confirmation of Brian Quintenz to lead the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Quintenz, a pro-crypto policymaker favored by much of the industry, was expected to oversee cryptocurrency regulation. The nomination was abruptly postponed twice after the White House requested it. Tyler Winklevoss stated that many in the industry had concerns about Quintenz not aligning with the President's agenda. Later, Quintenz released messages showing Winklevoss pressed him regarding a settled case against Gemini, leading Quintenz to believe the Winklevoss communications misled President Trump, shortly before the White House withdrew the nomination.
