Non-decentralized DeFi protocols will need to register with the CFTC, U.S. Senate Republicans release updated CLARITY Act text

Odaily reports: A Fox Business crypto reporter posted on X that U.S. Senate Republicans have released an updated text of the CLARITY Act following negotiations during the August recess. The ethics section appears unchanged, and the BRCA and stablecoin yield sections also remain the same. The updates include: requiring non-decentralized DeFi protocols to register with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission; limiting DeFi provisions to spot or cash digital commodity transactions, seemingly aimed at addressing tribes' concerns about blockchain-based prediction markets; and clarifying the authority of credit unions to conduct cryptocurrency business.
