April

Uniswap Labs has issued a response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Wells notice on the allegations that their Decentralized Exchange has violated the exemption laws of securities and acted as an unincorporated and unregistered securities exchange and an unaccredited broker dealer. 
Uniswap Labs <a href="https://blog.uniswap.org/the-fight-for-defi-continues" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">argues</a> that the SEC’s attempt to classify their DEX as a securities exchange stretches the regulator’s jurisdiction. They highlight that the majority of transactions on their platform involve commodities like Ethereum and Bitcoin, which do not meet the criteria for securities.&nbsp; 
Uniswap Labs also stresses that the SEC’s rules are not fit to regulate DEXs and assets handled by them since it does not capture the decentralized nature of the exchanges.

Support from the Crypto Community 
The issuance of the Wells notice on April 10 has not dampened Uniswap’s trading activities. In fact, the platform recorded nearly $3 trillion in trading volume shortly after receiving the notice.&nbsp; 
Such response from the crypto community shows that Uniswap has lots of backing in the community during these tough regulatory times. Uniswap Labs still stands in trust of the legalities of their operations and challenged the SEC on the lack of acceptance for decentralized open-source technology in the world’s financial markets. 
The resolution of this particular controversy would also potentially establish some legal frameworks concerning digital assets and decentralized platforms.
