Uniswap, the largest decentralized exchange, has removed the HEX token from its interface after it was recently declared an unregistered security by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This comes as another blow for the token in what has been an unpleasant week so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Uniswap has delisted the HEX token from its interface, placing it in the protocol\u2019s “Unsupported List.” It is a list manually curated by Uniswap Labs – the developer of the protocol – to restrict tokens that violate trademarks, projects that have proven to be scams, or otherwise based on legal considerations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the SEC\u2019s declaration on Monday, July 31, it appears that Uniswap is distancing itself from the HEX token. This declaration came when the financial regulator filed a lawsuit against Richard \u201cHeart\u201d Scheuler, the founder of HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX (a Uniswap fork).<\/span><\/p>\n

In the court document<\/a>, the Securities and Exchange Commission mentioned Uniswap as one of the factors behind its selection of the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York as the case\u2019s venue. <\/span><\/p>\n

The commission said it chose this venue because many of the transactions highlighted in the lawsuit occurred on Uniswap, which is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

The SEC accused the controversial Richard Heart of offering an \u201cunregistered security\u201d, the HEX token. Other angles of the case include HEX\u2019s staking mechanism, its lock-up schedule, and how Heart manipulated the token\u2019s supply by \u201crecycling\u201d transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The regulator claims that, by making \u201cgrandiose\u201d promises of wealth, Heart was able to raise $1 billion from investors, which he “inappropriately” spent on luxury goods.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Crypto Community Reacts<\/span><\/h2>\n

After the news of Uniswap blocking traders from trading the HEX token broke out, there has been a mixed reaction from the crypto community on Twitter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Several tweets are questioning the \u201cdecentralized\u201d nature of Uniswap, with some users even going as far as giving the protocol a bad review on various review platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sule\"},\"description\":\"Opeyemi is a proficient writer and enthusiast in the exciting and unique cryptocurrency realm. While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies. Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. \u201cLooking\u201d is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi\u2019s favorite part - in fact, far from it. Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. \u201cThis emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,\u201d he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger. When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi\u2019s Spotify Daily Mix. Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books - ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K. Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that. Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi\u2019s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings. Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time - he believes that \u201cwhatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.\u201d Hence, you will always find him striving to be better. Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon - cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment - spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/opeyemi-sule-027bb5227\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/fwOpeyemi\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/oluwatosino\/\"}]}<\/script>\n","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Uniswap

While the digital asset industry was not his first choice, he has remained absolutely drawn since making a foray into the space over two years. Now, Opeyemi takes pride in creating unique pieces unraveling the complexities of blockchain technology and sharing insights on the latest trends in the world of cryptocurrencies. Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. \u201cLooking\u201d is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi\u2019s favorite part - in fact, far from it. Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. \u201cThis emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,\u201d he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger. When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi\u2019s Spotify Daily Mix. Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books - ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K. Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that. Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi\u2019s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings. Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time - he believes that \u201cwhatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.\u201d Hence, you will always find him striving to be better. Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon - cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment - spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/opeyemi-sule-027bb5227","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/fwOpeyemi"],"url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/author\/oluwatosino\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Uniswap Delists HEX Token After SEC Deems It An \u201cUnregistered Security\u201d","url":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/defi\/uniswap-delists-hex-token-after-sec-deems-it-an-unregistered-security\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/defi\/uniswap-delists-hex-token-after-sec-deems-it-an-unregistered-security\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3nS2LfBOiU6I5k4g.jpeg?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3nS2LfBOiU6I5k4g.jpeg?fit=1592%2C896"},"articleSection":"DeFi","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Opeyemi Sule"}],"creator":["Opeyemi Sule"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["decentralized finance","defi","hex","hexusdt","sec","uniswap"],"dateCreated":"2023-08-02T15:00:36Z","datePublished":"2023-08-02T15:00:36Z","dateModified":"2023-08-02T15:00:36Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Uniswap Delists HEX Token After SEC Deems It An \\u201cUnregistered Security\\u201d\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/defi\\\/uniswap-delists-hex-token-after-sec-deems-it-an-unregistered-security\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/news\\\/defi\\\/uniswap-delists-hex-token-after-sec-deems-it-an-unregistered-security\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/3nS2LfBOiU6I5k4g.jpeg?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/08\\\/3nS2LfBOiU6I5k4g.jpeg?fit=1592%2C896\"},\"articleSection\":\"DeFi\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Opeyemi Sule\"}],\"creator\":[\"Opeyemi Sule\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/wncen.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"decentralized finance\",\"defi\",\"hex\",\"hexusdt\",\"sec\",\"uniswap\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2023-08-02T15:00:36Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-08-02T15:00:36Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-08-02T15:00:36Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/wncen.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3nS2LfBOiU6I5k4g.jpeg?fit=1592%2C896","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/590"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=545512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/545518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=545512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=545512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=545512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
