SEC Files Charges Against Uniswap Labs

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued an official notification, known as a Wells Notice, to Uniswap Labs, the organization behind the Uniswap decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, informing them of its intent to file charges, likely related to the trading of unregistered securities and failure to register as a broker. This move comes amid broader regulatory tightening against DeFi.
