SEC investiga a Uniswap
The closure of Adams’ bank accounts comes four months after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) allegedly closed his bank accounts. (SEC) allegedly to open an investigation into Uniswap Labs the developer of the exchange. A report by Wall Street Journal September broke the news.
Citing familiar sources, the report noted that U.S. regulators were seeking information on how investors use the exchange. Uniswap and how it is marketed through the platform.
At the time, a spokesman for Uniswap Labs told the media that the company is “ committed to complying with the laws and regulations that govern our industry and to providing information to regulators that will assist them with any inquiries “. It is worth noting that Uniswap web-based Ethereum a decentralized open-source blockchain with smart contracts functionality. is among the top ten Top DEX (decentralized exchange)A peer-to-peer exchange allowing users to trade cryptocurrency without the need for an intermediary. by Total Value Locked Volume how much cryptocurrency has been traded over a set period, such as the past 24 hours. (TVL) .
While the release did not provide further details on the SEC’s investigation, the report was interpreted as a sign of the regulators’ intention to exercise greater oversight in the cryptocurrency space, specifically in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sphere, something the agency’s chairman, Gary Gensler, had already hinted at last year.
Shortly thereafter, amid rumors of tighter regulation, Uniswap Labs hired Hari Sevugan, a former spokesman for former President Barack Obama, as its communications chief to help the developer navigate political waters.
A silent attack on DeFi?
While there has been no further information about the investigation, some have asserted that the recent closure of Adams’ accounts is a silent attack on the industry.

Probably a shadow banking disposal of cryptocurrencies by [Federal Reserve] bank examiners or [ of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency with instructions from above. If the examiner tells a bank that a certain customer is too risky and the bank terminated that relationship, the bank has a contract in traditional finance, a contract is a binding agreement between two parties. In cryptocurrencies, smart contracts execute functions on the blockchain. that prevents it from telling that customer why.
The publication of the founder had in general several responses. Among them, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress, Matt West, expressed his rejection of the measure and emphasized that “ is part of why we need a clear regulatory framework. “ for cryptocurrencies in the country. Also the official account of Twitter customer service from JPMorgan responded to the post by asking Adams for information about what happened via private message.
