Uniswap Permissioned Pools Bring Regulated Assets to Decentralized Exchanges

Uniswap Labs has launched Permissioned Pools on its v4 platform, enabling regulated tokenized assets to trade through automated market makers (AMMs) with on-chain allowlist checks.

The framework allows issuers to place tokenized funds, securities, and equities inside Uniswap v4 while controlling who may participate. Approved wallets can receive permission to trade or provide liquidity, subject to issuer-defined compliance rules.

Uniswap's PoolManager handles a wrapped version of the asset inside the pool, preventing restricted tokens from moving freely through standard pool routes. Issuers can also pause swaps, update compliance systems, or force-close positions when regulatory or administrative action becomes necessary.

The launch partners include Superstate, Securitize, and Dowgo, which have helped develop the standard for tokenized funds and equities, contributed support for assets issued through its DS Protocol, and added compatibility with the ERC-3643 token standard, respectively.
