These changes aim to expand the definition of “exchange,” a move Uniswap contends overreaches the SEC’s authority, particularly concerning decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/01625736fd484cd195d70d0e4d0793e9.png" />Source: <a href="https://x.com/MinarikLaw/status/1810792221593174162" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">X</a>In April, the SEC issued a Wells Notice to Uniswap, indicating the agency’s intention to sue the company for operating as an unregistered securities exchange. Uniswap Labs has defended its operations, arguing that its protocol, which facilitates automated transactions between cryptocurrency tokens, does not meet the traditional criteria of an exchange and functions more as passive technology.This legal contention stems from the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which alters how judicial deference to regulatory agencies, known as Chevron deference, is applied. Uniswap argues that without this deference, the SEC’s broad interpretation of the term “exchange” could be invalidated by the courts.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/c3a8e9a48e354b8ba0da767d89ab099b.png" />Source: <a href="https://x.com/MinarikLaw/status/1810792306079047932" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">X</a><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/71b5729c6e98413a8e7b4204605474d5.png" />In response to these developments, Uniswap Labs has requested that the <a href="https://cryptosheadlines.com/sec-invites-public-comments-on-bitcoin-etfs/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC reopen the public comment</a> period on these proposed rule changes. The firm argues that the legal sector has shifted significantly enough to warrant a fresh round of commentary from stakeholders.This call for additional public input underscores the firm’s stance that the rule changes, as currently proposed, could stifle innovation and lead to significant legal uncertainty within the DeFi sector.<a href="https://cryptosheadlines.com/polkadot-dot-shows-bullish-breakout-signals/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Also Read: Polkadot (DOT) Shows Bullish Breakout Signals</a><h3 id="uniswap-labs-defends-against-sec-s-regulatory-approach">Uniswap Labs Defends Against SEC’s Regulatory Approach</h3>Uniswap Labs points to previous court decisions that have shown hesitance to apply securities laws strictly to decentralized crypto services, such as in cases against Coinbase, Inc., and Binance Holdings.
