Wells Notice on Uniswap

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on X that Uniswap Labs received a Wells notice from the SEC, which means SEC is prepare to sue Uniswap Labs.

In a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Uniswap’s COO Mary-Catherine Lader and Chief Legal Officer Marvin Ammori told reporters that the content of the Wells notice was focused on Uniswap acting as an unregistered securities broker and unregistered securities exchange. It remains unclear whether Uniswap’s native token, UNI, was implicated as a potential security in the SEC’s notice.

Chief Legal Officer of Uniswap Labs, Marvin Ammori provided his opinion on X. He implied that SEC had no authority over Uniswap self-custodial, non-intermediated products, that's why they cannot could tell Uniswap how to register them. It has provided no clarity and no guidance – as several SEC commissioners have stated in multiple dissents. (such statement is identical to Coinbase Brian Armstrong's statement to SEC)

UNI token price dropped (both against USDT, and BTC)
