The revised CLARITY Act introduces a control test defining non-decentralized finance trading protocols subject to registration with the CFTC, distinguishing genuinely decentralized DeFi from centralized entities misusing DeFi branding. It preserves protections for non-custodial software and self-custody while directing regulators to develop detailed rules for controlled protocols.
