Uniswap Labs to pay a fine to CFTC for illegally offering crypto derivatives trading

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has issued an order against Uniswap Labs, a prominent DeFi protocol in the crypto space. The enforcement agency penalized the platform for offering leveraged or margined retail commodity transactions in digital assets through a decentralized trading protocol.

In response, the CFTC imposed a fine of $175,000 and instructed Uniswap Labs to stop violating the Commodity Exchange Act. Ian McGinley, the Director of Enforcement, emphasized the agency’s commitment to enforcing the CEA as digital asset platforms and DeFi ecosystems evolve.

The order highlighted that Uniswap enabled users to trade cryptocurrencies like Ether (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) with leverage of approximately 2:1. The agency reaffirmed its classification of Ether (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) as commodities, subject to its jurisdiction. The order also stated that Uniswap violated Section 4(a) of the Act by offering to enter into business with customers who were not eligible contract participants or eligible commercial entities.

Despite this development, the price of UNI remained relatively unaffected. Trading at $6.52 with a market cap exceeding $3 billion, UNI showed a minor decrease of 1.07% in the past hour and a positive trend of 7.25% in the past day, according to CoinMarketCap.

Crypto commentator MartyParty expressed optimism, stating, “Wording is bullish and a change from hostile enforcement to rewarding ‘cooperation’ with light fines. This pertained to their Bitcoin and Ethereum leveraged tokens.”

The situation continues to evolve.
