SEC Drops Case Against Uniswap

SEC Ends Investigation Into Uniswap, Boosting UNI Token Trading as CEO Hayden Adams Calls for New Crypto Regulations Separate From Traditional Finance

SEC drops Uniswap Labs investigation , sending UNI price surging despite bear market. This is positive news after Uniswap launched v4 and Unichain mainnet.

CEO Hayden Adams welcomed the decision, emphasizing the need for new legislation for DeFi. The dismissal of another lawsuit also draws attention to crypto regulation.

The SEC targeted Uniswap Labs with a Wells Notice , alleging violations of financial regulations. After a year of investigation, the SEC dismissed the case without taking enforcement action, which was seen as a major victory for DeFi.

CEO Hayden Adams welcomed the decision, calling for cooperation with regulators to develop appropriate policies for DeFi.

The SEC’s dismissal of the Uniswap case reflects a shift in its approach to cryptocurrency regulation after President Trump took office, with lawsuits against Coinbase , Opensea , and Robinhood also being withdrawn.

Despite a 30% drop in UNI price over the past month, trading volume increased by more than 140% following the SEC announcement. CEO Hayden Adams stressed that DeFi needs its own regulatory framework, as the industry and agencies move toward more open discussions.

The SEC is re-examining several cases from the time of former Chairman Gary Gensler , indicating a shift in enforcement strategy. While the agency is stepping back, it also underscores the need for a new regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. The crypto industry now has the opportunity to shape future regulation, but must actively participate to ensure balance and fairness.
