Uniswap, a key DeFi platform, has received a Wells notice from the SEC, signifying a potential landmark legal challenge. The crypto community has rallied in support, drawing parallels to the SEC's previous defeats against Grayscale, Ripple, and Coinbase, and emphasizing the significance of this case for the DeFi ecosystem and the broader principle of decentralized trading. Critics of the SEC's action, including references to Gary Gensler's mistake, underscore the importance of this moment for the ETH narrative and the constitutional debate over software development. Uniswap's supporters highlight its role as a credibly neutral and revolutionary alternative to traditional finance, underscoring the clash between innovation and regulation.
Uniswap is literally the textbook definition of a perfect protocol. 100% permissionless, decentralized, and credibly neutral. No upgrade keys, no multisig, no shenanigans. Very limited governance. They will prevail in court and set precedent for the rest of the industry 🫡
They went after Uniswap. Lmao. This is so hilarious nothing else needs to be said. I’m glad Uniswap have the money and resources to fight this. We should all wish them good luck.
The SEC really wants to keep up the losing streak, huh You’ve got this @Uniswap 🦄
Go get 'em, Uniswap. These are pivotal moments in the course of history. That Uniswap team is the best in the business, and we're all indebted to them for championing these efforts. https://t.co/Gxm8vvm6AC
SEC Lost To Grayscale ✅ SEC Lost To Ripple ✅ SEC Lost To Coinbase ✅ SEC Will Loose To Uniswap. Decentralized trading is not a crime. Stop panic selling your Bitcoin & alts to whales. All this FUD is to shake you out before epic pump. WE ARE NOT FCKING LEAVING.

Hayden Adams logging on to crypto twitter in 2025 after @Uniswap shellacks the SEC in court https://t.co/uNeVIWyiUt
Not sure what I need to do to help defend Uniswap against the SEC. But I’m ready. Also it feels like the SEC is addicted to taking big fat Ls. There is no way they win if they take action.
...and then they came for @Uniswap https://t.co/Yt7Of6fTZC
Blockchain provides financial access & freedom to the common person. The feds attacking coinbase, binance, ethereum, kucoin, ripple and now uniswap is not surprising. All it shows is how disruptive blockchain tech really is & how scard they truly are. They will lose.
The SEC is pushing the best founders offshore. Hayden built Uniswap from Brooklyn. The US government is now telling future Haydens to go build in Dubai or Singapore. This has to change soon or we'll crush innovation for years.
We keep seeing attacks on decentralized technologies. Glad to see @Uniswap will fight to defend them. https://t.co/U2vrU33zsC
Would be naive to expect that the SEC wouldn't have tried this, so I'm glad @haydenzadams and @Uniswap have been rightly preparing for this for some time. Interested in seeing the content of the complaint to understand scope of the SEC's approach here and if $UNI plays into it https://t.co/qowbJzSNot
Alright so the SEC is now gonna lose to Coinbase, Binance, Kraken AND Uniswap. https://t.co/XR9lnsOKRC
Good luck @Uniswap we are rooting for you 🫡 https://t.co/LCfGlO3fLO
Every day, I wake up feeling privileged to support the @Uniswap Protocol at the @UniswapFND. Where much of our existing financial system is subject to biases and the whims of politics, Uniswap offers a revolutionary alternative. It is credibly neutral. It cannot be gatekept.…
Uniswap is an upgrade to the financial system, whether the SEC recognizes it or not. I bought my first bitcoin in 2011, started BlackRock’s crypto efforts in 2015 and left TradFi in 2021 to go all in on DeFi as COO of Uniswap Labs. I did that because I believe onchain markets…
Re: uniswap and an anticipated SEC lawsuit. Exactly two years ago, when the SEC engaged in a rulemaking to expand the definition of exchange, we responded with a comment that ultimately analyzed whether the exchange act would be constitutional as applied to software devs… https://t.co/XDqlxo5nRL
The Uniswap news, just like the ETH security thing few weeks ago, will just only strengthen ETH narrative this cycle. If XRP can win, Uniswap and other legit US products will also win.
We are all Uniswap https://t.co/G82yoy7atF
There's zero chance Uniswap won't win here. This will set precedence for the whole DeFi ecosystem & keep the SEC in check. Gary made a big mistake here.
I think DeFi is worth fighting for 🦾 Sending the @Uniswap positive energy and support as the begin their fight for freedom. https://t.co/LIas6qGN3i
We stand with @Uniswap 🧊🤝 https://t.co/044JIrrMmJ
We are all team @Uniswap today. DeFi is worth fighting for. Sovereignty is a noble endeavor, and the transparency of blockchain technology and software is unrivaled by traditional systems. This will be a landmark for all of us. https://t.co/8OQTfM7dh9
