Senate Republicans Unveil Revised CLARITY Act, Would Require CFTC Registration for Non-Decentralized DeFi Protocols

AI Market Summary
Senate Republicans' updated CLARITY Act draft would require nondecentralized DeFi protocols to register with the CFTC, narrowing scope to spot/cash digital commodity transactions and clarifying credit unions' crypto authority. The changes raise compliance and operational uncertainty for DeFi venues while potentially improving regulatory visibility for institution-facing activity. Near-term, traders may reprice regulatory risk across governance tokens and DeFi-linked liquidity as legislative details evolve.

Crypto reporter Eleanor Terrett said Senate Republicans have released an updated draft of the CLARITY Act incorporating revisions negotiated during the August recess. Provisions covering ethics, BRCA and stablecoin yield appear to remain unchanged. The latest version would require non-decentralized DeFi protocols to register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), mirroring Section 10301 of the Senate Banking Committee’s proposal. It also narrows the DeFi section to spot (cash) transactions involving digital commodities, a change seen as responding to tribal concerns tied to blockchain-based prediction markets. The draft further clarifies credit unions' authority to participate in crypto-related activities.
