Uniswap: SEC Innovation Exemption Covers Permissioned Pools for Tokenized Stock Trading - 17 Sep 2026
The SEC granted temporary, conditional exemptive relief to Tokenized Securities Venues, permitting them to trade tokenized NMS stock through permissioned AMM liquidity pools on Uniswap v4. The order requests public comment, and the relief remains subject to its stated conditions pending further SEC action.The exemption places Uniswap v4 infrastructure inside a regulated pathway to US equity markets, since permissioned pools can now host tokenized stock trading under SEC relief. For UNI, this creates a concrete regulatory catalyst for future volume and fee capture if tokenized equities route through the protocol.The scope is narrow. The relief is temporary, conditional, and limited to permissioned pools, so broader access depends on further SEC action and the outcome of the comment period.It’s a great day for American innovationWith U.S support behind tokenization, everyday people now have access to 24/7 trading, instant settlement and a more open financial systemArbitrum as a platform is ready to bring all assets of value into the programmable economy
