Uniswap (UNI), one of the largest and longest-running decentralized exchanges, is making a deeper push into tokenized assets, introducing a feature designed to let regulated securities trade on the venue without sacrificing compliance requirements.
Key facts
- A recent report by global bank Citi projected tokenized securities growing into a $5.5 trillion market by 2030
- Markets repositioned since June, but Binance held share (~55% user funds, ~24% spot) and drew net inflows in early July while the tracked market saw outflows
- Until now, compliance for tokenized securities lived at the app layer; a gate standing in front of the market,” Superstate CEO Robert Leshner told CoinDesk
- In February, BlackRock's tokenized money market fund, BUIDL, issued by Securitize, became tradable on the protocol, while the asset manager disclosed an investment in UNI, Uniswap's governance token
Summary
Uniswap is introducing Permissioned Pools, a framework designed for tokenized funds, equities and other regulated assets. The feature allows tokenized asset issuers to enforce investor eligibility requirements directly onchain while using Uniswap's automated trading infrastructure. The launch comes as tokenized assets gain traction on Wall Street and DeFi protocols increasingly adapt to institutional investors. The decentralized exchange's developer, Uniswap Labs, is rolling out "Permissioned Pools" on Thursday, a piece of infrastructure that allows issuers of tokenized funds, equities and other regulated assets to restrict trading to approved investors while still using the protocol's automated market maker.
