1. Us SEC terminates investigation into Uniswap Labs
Regulators decided to end the federal investigation into Uniswap Labs, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has closed its investigation into Uniswap and will not take further enforcement action, according to people familiar with the matter. The investigation began in April 2024, when Uniswap received a Wells notification from SEC focusing on whether Uniswap operates as an unregistered stock exchange and whether its UNI tokens constitute illegal securities sales. The move is in line with recent similar actions by regulators, including the closure of investigations into Robinhood’s encryption business and the withdrawal of lawsuits against Coinbase.
