On Friday, the Uniswap team announced via a blog post that tokenized securities are live on the Uniswap Web App, Wallet, and API. This means users can discover and trade tokenized versions of securities like SpaceX, Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA, and more directly from Uniswap apps.
Builders can integrate tokenized stocks, bonds, and yield bearing assets via the Uniswap API alongside every other asset class on Uniswap.
The same liquidity and routing infrastructure that powers wallets, portfolio tools, and trading interfaces today now extends to regulated asset markets. Developers using the Uniswap API don’t need to do anything differently for their users to access tokenized securities.
For issuers, Uniswap v4 hook infrastructure taps into one of the most widely used onchain liquidity networks. v4 hooks support issuer-configured transfer restrictions, allowlists, geographic gates, and dynamic fee structures at the pool level.
Uniswap is a decentralized exchange protocol built on Ethereum. To be more precise, it is an automated liquidity protocol. No order book or centralized party is required to make trades.
Uniswap is a popular decentralized trading protocol, known for its role in facilitating automated trading of decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens.
An example of an automated market maker (AMM), Uniswap launched in November 2018, but has gained considerable popularity this year thanks to the DeFi phenomenon and associated surge in token trading.
Uniswap aims to keep token trading automated and completely open to anyone who holds tokens, while improving the efficiency of trading versus that on traditional exchanges.
Uniswap creates more efficiency by solving liquidity issues with automated solutions, avoiding the problems that plagued the first decentralized exchanges.
UNI, the native token of Uniswap, is currently trading at $2.60, up 3.1% in the last 24 hours.
