Lado Okhotnikov: SEC Shifts Tactics – Decentralized Exchanges Under Scrutiny
The cryptocurrency industry is going through a period of heavy regulation.
Centralized exchanges have already experienced regulatory pressure, but this has not been enough. Decentralized exchanges (DEX) are of particular interest to regulators. Now the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has its sights set on Uniswap, whose trading volumes are comparable to the giant Binance. However, trying to curb decentralized exchanges may turn out to be a waste of effort, because their philosophy is built on different principles.
In this article, we will look at what makes decentralized exchanges so special and why they have become the focus of regulatory attention. We will reveal the strengths and weaknesses of DEXs, potential regulatory vectors, and how this entire process could affect the future of the cryptocurrency sector.
