Hayden Adams: Uniswap v4 receives SEC exemption, paving way for compliant AMM trading in the US

Uniswap Labs founder Hayden Adams stated that SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce clarified that truly decentralized systems driven by automated software do not require exemptions, meaning permissionless AMMs like the main Uniswap protocol are unaffected. The SEC exemption specifically targets permissioned pools within Uniswap v4, creating a pathway for compliant AMM trading of certain assets and users in the United States. Adams noted that Uniswap plans to submit a comment letter with suggestions for improving the relevant rules.
