XRP Senate Republicans release new draft of CLARITY Bill, the cryptocurrency industry faces major changes
U.S. Senate Republicans have released a new 630-page draft of the CLARITY Act (Clarification Act), which has a profound impact on the cryptocurrency industry, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple. The revised draft was circulated/distributed on the eve of a critical procedural vote on September 15.
Political differences and Democrats 'doubts
The updated CLARITY Act is still only a Republican proposal and has not received the support of Democratic lawmakers. Although some Democrats have shown interest in regulating digital assets, persistent political divisions have hindered progress on the bipartisan bill.
Reporter Brendan Pedersen reported that several Democratic aides were cautious about the bill, including one describing the ethics controversy over ongoing as "the biggest stumbling block to date." The aide also pointed out that the new version failed to address these ethical concerns.
According to the Democratic aide, the latest proposal does not address those concerns and reflects continued fears about unresolved moral disputes. The standoff is expected to affect the upcoming Senate vote, where lawmakers will decide whether to move the bill forward for further review. The cloture motion, scheduled for 2:15 p.m. Eastern Time, will allow the debate to continue, but it is not the final vote to pass legislation.
Key updates to bill language
The revised draft clearly distinguishes between truly decentralized agreements and what it calls "non-decentralized financial transaction agreements." According to this statement, mere participation in decentralized governance or security committees does not automatically equate to control the network.
At the same time, the bill retains important protections for software developers and clarifies the boundaries of legal liability for the creation of decentralized financial application code.
The revision to the DeFi (decentralized finance) section specifically redirects the regulatory focus to digital commodity cash and spot markets, aiming to clarify the scope of supervision.
The updated bill also introduces provisions to strengthen credit unions. The proposed legislation would maintain the regulatory and enforcement powers of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and similar agencies.
The bill also makes technical amendments to the GENIUS Act to ensure that credit union accounts are treated more equitably when juxtaposed with traditional bank deposits, especially when managing tokenized financial products.
Noun explanation: The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is the federal agency responsible for supervising and supervising federal credit unions in the United States. It is responsible for protecting credit union member deposits and maintaining financial stability in this area.
Unresolved disputes and the way forward
Although the revised CLARITY Act includes policy changes, fundamental political differences remain. Key disputes, especially over ethics issues, remain unresolved, casting a shadow over the bill's future.
An upcoming procedural vote will determine whether the Senate can begin debating the legislation. However, without bipartisan support, Republicans must persuade a sufficient number of Democrats to move the discussion forward.
If the end-of-debate motion fails, the legislative process will stall and the prospects for cryptocurrency regulation in the United States may remain deadlocked until a more widely accepted proposal emerges.
The bill changes a number of regulatory mechanisms and clarifies the scope of DeFi's oversight, but unresolved political disputes are likely to determine whether it can be further advanced.
