Uniswap Court Ruling Makes DeFi a Regulatory 'Anomaly'

A district judge ruled that Uniswap investors and developers are not liable for the impact of so-called scam tokens, stating that decentralized exchanges should be viewed differently from centralized ones. The ruling suggests that companies exercising judgment over token listings could be held responsible, but DeFi platforms remain unaffected due to their permissionless nature. While the regulatory landscape for DeFi is still developing, the decision makes it more challenging for the SEC to pursue enforcement actions against truly decentralized exchanges.
