SEC closes the examination of uniswap laboratories and identifies an important victory for the Defi industry

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has completed its investigation in Uniswap Labs, the company behind the decentralized Exchange Uniswap, after months of examination. Initially, the SEC spent a wells in April 2024, in which it was claimed that uniswap was issued as a not registered broker, exchange and clearing agency and possibly non -registered securities. However, the SEC has now decided not to take any further measures.

Uniswap celebrated the decision of the SEC as the main victory for decentralized finances (Defi) and claimed that the closure of the investigation was a clear sign that decentralized technology can work legally. In a blog post, the company emphasized its conviction that Defi platforms should not be subject to the same regulatory framework that applies to centralized systems. Uniswaps Governance token from the university rose by 5%to react to the news, which reflected investor optimism in relation to the future of the company.

This decision occurs in the middle of a broader change in the approach of the SEC for cryptocurrency regulation. After the new leadership after Gary Gensler's departure in January 2025, the SEC, led by the incumbent chairman Mark Uyeda and the Commissioner Hester Peirce, re -established his attitude towards the crypto enforcement. Peirce, known for her more flexible views on the crypto regulation, suggested that the agency may be removed from its aggressive stem tactics. The SEC has already demonstrated investigations into other crypto companies such as Robinhood Crypto and Openea, which signal a shift into a more collaborative regulatory attitude.

The founder of Uniswap, Hayden Adams, emphasized that the closure of the investigation was not only a victory for the company, but also for the wider Defi industry, which campaigned for a clearer and supporting regulatory environment. Adams also pointed out that decentralized technology such as self -compatibility and intelligent contracts work differently as traditional financial systems and should not be regulated in the same way.

The decision of the SEC corresponds to a broader rethinking of the regulations for digital assets. Experts like Jake Chervinsky from the variant fund praised the result and said it was a victory for uniswap and for the entire Defi sector. He found that the earlier approach of the SEC had rejected the resources for crypto companies, and this change of direction was a positive step forward.

Despite the positive result, the legal problems of Uniswap had significantly burdened the company's business activity and forced it to distract the resources from its core mission. In the future, the company will continue to be confident that future regulations for decentralized technologies and the support of growth and innovation are more suitable in space.

The decision of the SEC to conclude its investigation could be a turning point for the crypto industry and a shift to a cheaper regulatory environment for decentralized platforms.
