New York State Attorney General Letitia James has launched a regulatory inquiry into Uniswap, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) platform. The investigation has resulted in subpoenas directed at several venture capital firms, including notable names like Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Union Square Ventures. Uniswap, which prides itself on being a pioneer in DeFi technology from New York, is committed to providing equitable access to financial services and is open to discussions with regulators.
The scrutiny surrounding the cryptocurrency sector has intensified following the 2022 collapse of FTX and other crypto firms. Earlier this year, the SEC issued a Wells notice to Uniswap, alleging it was operating as an unregistered securities broker and exchange. The CFTC has also ordered Uniswap Labs to pay a civil penalty of $175,000 for violations related to the Commodity Exchange Act.
Attorney General James has previously taken legal actions against various crypto entities, raising concerns among industry observers. Many believe that politicians are using the crypto sector as a target for political agendas, echoing similar strategies employed by SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.
