🚨 US Republicans drop 630-page CLARITY Act revision—DeFi protocols about to get rekt by regulators
Senator Cynthia Lummis & GOP crew just published the updated bill. Procedural vote hits Sept 15, and this thing could reshape the entire US crypto landscape.
Key changes:
• Non-decentralized DeFi protocols MUST register with CFTC
• CFTC + Treasury will draft compliance rules
• Applies mainly to spot & cash digital commodity trading
• DOJ still handles enforcement (Dems wanted state AGs involved)
What's NOT solved yet:
• Stablecoin yields
• Illicit finance frameworks
• Trump crypto conflict of interest
The math: GOP has 53 seats, needs 60 votes to pass. Democrats hold the keys.
If this passes, "DeFi" as we know it might just become "CeFi with extra steps." Protocols better start lawyering up or going full anon.
Vote in 3 days. Watch closely.
