Uniswap Labs Rejects SEC Claims, Calls Legal Case "Full of Errors"

Bittime - Uniswap Labs, the company behind thepopular decentralized exchange ( DEX ) Uniswap, has fought back against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) after receiving a Wells Notice alleging regulatory violations.

Uniswap Denies SEC Categorization of UNI Token

On May 22, Uniswap Labs issued a press release responding to the SEC's Wells Notice, which was filed on April 10. The Wells Notice notifies recipients of the SEC's plans to take legal action.

 In this case, the SEC accused Uniswap Labs of operating an unregistered securities exchange and acting as an unregistered securities broker for UNI , Uniswap's native token.

The crux of the SEC's case hinges on their classification of the UNI token as an investment contract, which would fall under their regulatory oversight. However, Uniswap Labs strongly opposes this depiction.

Uniswap Urges Regulatory Clarity and Innovation

Uniswap Labs further criticized the SEC for attempting to expand its jurisdiction beyond its intended reach. They expressed confidence in the House of Representatives passing a bill giving the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) authority over digital asset trading.

The press release concluded with an urge for regulators to embrace open-source technology and work together to modernize the financial system, instead of seeking litigation.
