While the SEC’s action has caused some price fluctuations, data tells a different story for long-term investors. Santiment’s data reveals an interesting trend: despite price drops, the mean dollar invested age has actually increased. This suggests that investors are accumulating UNI, potentially viewing the current situation as a buying opportunity.
Uniswap CEO Blasts SEC’s “Aggressive Stances”
Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams echoed the industry’s criticism of the SEC’s approach. In a recent interview on the “Bankless” podcast, Adams accused the SEC of “essentially taking very aggressive stances and basically trying to shut down crypto.”
Judge Throws Jab at SEC’s Tactics
Further bolstering Uniswap’s case, a recent court ruling appears to be in their favor. U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby sanctioned the SEC in a lawsuit related to the DEBT Box, highlighting instances of “bad faith” behavior by the agency. Judge Shelby’s decision suggests the SEC may be overstepping its bounds in its pursuit of crypto regulation.
Compound’s CEO, Robert Leshner, piggybacked on Judge Shelby’s criticism. He suggests the SEC’s actions are more about “defining their political perimeter” than genuine regulatory concerns.

Uniswap Price Shows Signs of Life
Despite the ongoing legal battle, UNI’s price action offers a glimmer of hope. A modest 0.37% increase in the last 24 hours and a 1.12% rise over the past week signal potential bullish recovery and continued investor optimism – albeit cautious optimism given the case’s uncertainties.
The outcome of this case will have significant ramifications for the entire Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space. A win for Uniswap could set a precedent for how the SEC interacts with DeFi platforms. However, a loss could lead to stricter regulations and stifle innovation within the DeFi ecosystem. As the case unfolds, the crypto world will be watching with bated breath to see if Uniswap can land a knockout blow against the SEC’s enforcement action.
