The crypto venture firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is building out quite a crypto team.

Yesterday, a16z announced the hiring of Brian Quintenz, the former commissioner of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (and recent Unchained guest), as an advisory partner.

Brian is joining a16z after four years as a crypto-friendly Commissioner, spanning from August 2017 to August 2021. During his tenure, CFTC approved the first regulated bitcoin and ether futures contracts on derivatives exchanges. Additionally, Brian led the Technology Advisory Committee, which hosted many crypto policy discussions over the years.

a16z has amassed a ton of regulatory talent to its organization. Along with the former CFTC commissioner, the venture firm employs…

Anthony Albanese, former COO at the New York Stock Exchange
Tomicah Tillemann, served as senior advisor to now-President Joe Biden
Bill Hinman, former SEC Director of the Division of Corporation Finance, who was the first SEC director to say in a speech that ETH in its then-form was, in his estimation, not a security
Brent McIntosh, former Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs

In an explanation of the move, Katie Haun, general partner at a16z, wrote:

“Crypto is at a crossroads. With innovation in the space accelerating so quickly and incredible new projects being launched every day, more and more leaders across business, finance, and government are starting to acknowledge our view that the future of the internet will be driven by crypto technology. It’s no wonder, then, that crypto regulation has come to the forefront of the national debate. As we witnessed with the Infrastructure Bill, it has never been more important for the crypto community to engage in productive dialogue with regulators and policymakers.”

Given the current regulatory headwinds the crypto community — from Coinbase to DeFi, all of which a16z is heavily invested in — it looks like these regulatory hires will be useful going forward.
