● Bloomberg ETF analysts raised the probability of Bitcoin spot ETF passing this year to 75%

Bloomberg senior litigation analyst Elliott Z. Stein said, "While we have included Grayscale's victory in our previous 65% probability forecast, the consistency and decisiveness of this ruling exceeded expectations, leaving the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with very little room for adjustment in this regard."

● Judge dismisses class action lawsuit against Uniswap

Court documents show that a judge in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed a class action lawsuit against Uniswap and Paradigm, in which the plaintiffs tried to hold these companies responsible for the "scam tokens" sold on Uniswap AMM. Community members commented that the judge's dismissal of the class action lawsuit largely means that protocol developers should not be held responsible for the misconduct of third parties.

● ConsenSys lawyer: Uniswap class action lawsuit dismissed, may set a precedent for future legal cases involving DeFi platforms

ConsenSys lawyer Bill Hughes said on X (formerly Twitter) that the decentralized trading protocol Uniswap won the class-action lawsuit of damaged users, which may set a precedent for future legal cases involving DeFi platforms, which will have a more direct impact on the application of current securities laws to DeFi than the Ripple or TerraForm Labs cases.

Hughes said Uniswap's plan does not mean that Uniswap is responsible for the fraud and the resulting harm, at least according to US securities law. The court specifically ruled on three major directions: one is that the Uniswap platform is capable and in many cases is indeed used legally; two is that there is no transaction between the plaintiff and the Uniswap platform/Protocol Labs; three is that the current securities law does not seem to involve the liability of the DeFi protocol itself for the use of the protocol to defraud others. So this is very important, and cryptocurrency lawyers will soon remember the reference to this case. We will pay attention to whether the plaintiff appeals. The plaintiff has the right to appeal. This will be an important case that the Second Circuit needs to decide.
