Revised CLARITY Act Focuses on Non-Decentralized DeFi Operators

A revised version of the CLARITY Act targets DeFi operators that are considered “non-decentralized,” according to Cointelegraph. The legislation’s ethics section, however, remained largely unchanged. That provision has been one of the central points of contention ahead of a pivotal vote in the US Senate. The update comes as lawmakers consider the bill’s approach to digital-asset market structure and the treatment of decentralized finance participants. The supplied report does not provide further details on the revised language, the definition of a non-decentralized operator, or the timing and outcome of the Senate vote. Cointelegraph published its report on Sept. 11, 2026. The bill’s progress may be relevant to crypto-market participants tracking regulatory developments affecting DeFi and major digital assets, including Ethereum (ETH).
