Uniswap rolls out permissioned pools for tokenized funds and equities
The framework lets issuers restrict approved investors onchain while still using Uniswap's automated market maker, with partners including Securitize, Superstate and Dowgo.
Uniswap Labs is launching Permissioned Pools, a new infrastructure feature aimed at tokenized funds, equities and other regulated assets, according to CoinDesk. The setup is designed to let issuers enforce investor eligibility requirements directly onchain while using Uniswap's automated trading infrastructure.
The mechanism supports compliance controls for tokenized real-world assets without requiring issuers to build separate trading systems, Uniswap Labs' Ken Ng said. Permissioned Pools allow regulated assets to be traded on Uniswap while restricting trading to approved investors.
Uniswap is rolling out the feature with launch partners Securitize, Superstate and Dowgo, which plan to use the framework for regulated onchain assets. The move reflects a broader shift as DeFi protocols adapt to institutional needs tied to traditional, regulated RWA issuance.
CoinDesk also points to wider momentum in tokenized assets, citing Citi's projection that tokenized securities could reach a $5.5 trillion market by 2030. It notes that global asset managers including BlackRock, Apollo, Franklin Templeton and VanEck have launched tokenized funds, alongside growing tokenized stock offerings from brokerages and exchanges.
