> Venue operators retain control of compliance and operations. The SEC’s five-year relief covers only qualifying venues and products.

Uniswap Labs is offering tools and guidance to operators of tokenized U.S. stock venues, while leaving operating and compliance decisions to them under the SEC’s conditional relief.

The [SEC’s five-year conditional relief](<https://www.tokenpost.com/news/regulation/23480>), issued Sept. 17, applies to qualifying venues trading certain National Market System (NMS) stocks through permissioned automated market maker (AMM) pools. Some liquidity providers also receive limited relief from the dealer definition. The framework does not cover every tokenized-stock platform and expires Sept. 17, 2031.

Uniswap Labs offers support to venue operators, issuers and liquidity providers navigating the framework, but does not directly operate or control venues. Independent operators make the compliance and operating decisions for their platforms.

Uniswap v4’s “hooks” can be used to add features such as access controls, trading halts and public fee disclosures. Trades settle in one transaction: both sides complete together, or neither does. Once a stock is listed, applications connected to its pool can offer it to approved participants, subject to venue requirements such as symbol and volume caps.

For a third-party stock token, a venue must give the issuer written notice and wait at least 30 calendar days after the issuer receives it before trading begins. The issuer can object during that process.

Uniswap’s protocol has processed more than $20 billion in stock-trading volume, with Robinhood Stock Tokens and xStocks among the products driving activity. Separately, more than 40 tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds had pools paired with SPY on Robinhood Chain by November. Those pools generated $900 million in volume across 130,000 wallets.
