Uniswap Labs Launches Permissioned Pools for Regulated Asset Trading
Uniswap Labs has introduced a new standard called Permissioned Pools on its v4 protocol, which allows for the trading of regulated assets in an AMM. This is a significant development in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi), as it enables the creation of compliant markets that can be used by institutional investors.
The new feature is built on top of Uniswap's existing protocol and uses hooks to integrate with external systems, such as those provided by Superstate, Securitize, and Dowgo. These companies have contributed to the development of Permissioned Pools and will provide launch support for the new standard.
Permissioned Pools allow issuers of regulated assets to create compliant markets on Uniswap v4, while maintaining control over who can participate in these markets. This is achieved through a combination of compliance checks enforced at the protocol level and access controls implemented using hooks.
The introduction of Permissioned Pools marks an important step towards creating a more inclusive DeFi ecosystem that caters to institutional investors. It also highlights the growing trend of regulatory-compliant on-chain trading infrastructure, as seen in other blockchain networks such as XRP Ledger.
