# CLARITY Act: A Potential Blow to US DeFi? Experts are warning that the proposed Digital Asset Market Structure Bill (CLARITY Act) could devastate the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector in the United States. Concerns center around the potential regulatory burden placed on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). # DEXs Face Centralized Exchange Obligations? The CLARITY Act could subject DEXs like Uniswap and Jupiter to obligations similar to those of centralized exchanges (CEXs) like Coinbase. This would force DEXs to implement listing processes, effectively limiting the tokens available for trade. # Technical Challenges and Industry Impact DeFi developers argue that complying with such regulations is technically infeasible. Imposing centralized-style oversight on decentralized platforms could stifle innovation and push DeFi activity overseas, harming the US's position in the global crypto market. The CLARITY Act's current form poses a significant threat to the future of DeFi in the United States. ```
