The bill’s ethics section remained largely unchanged despite being one of the main points of contention ahead of a pivotal Senate vote. A revised version of the CLARITY Act would direct United States regulators to determine whether people or groups controlling “non-decentralized finance trading protocols” must comply with securities, commodities and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.

Under the proposal, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would develop activity-based rules addressing registration, conduct, disclosure, recordkeeping and supervision.

In a Thursday postmortem, Brevo said six accounts were used to send phishing emails, contacts were exported from 43 and 93 accounts showed no meaningful activity.
