Uniswap pushes deeper into tokenized assets with permissioned trading pools
Uniswap Labs is launching 'Permissioned Pools' to allow issuers of tokenized real-world assets to restrict trading to verified investors. This move aims to bridge the gap between decentralized finance protocols and the regulatory requirements of institutional financial firms.
Why it matters
This development signals a major shift in DeFi toward institutional adoption and the integration of traditional financial assets onto blockchain infrastructure.
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.
That “gives issuers a flexible way to enforce their own compliance rules without building separate trading infrastructure,” Ken Ng, head of ecosystem at Uniswap Labs, explained to CoinDesk.
“The next generation of value coming onchain, and it’s trading on Uniswap,” he said.
Launch partners include tokenization firms Securitize (SECZ) and Superstate, along with European digital securities platform Dowgo, all of which plan to use the framework for regulated onchain assets.
