Uniswap has increased trading fees on the decentralized exchange by about 67%. The move follows potential legal action from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against DeFi protocols.

According to information on the official website, users will have to pay a fee of 0.25% for most swaps, up from the previous fee rate of 0.15%.

Uniswap raises fees as it prepares for legal battle

Uniswap said this fee adjustment aims to ensure sustainable financing of its operations. Although fee-eligible transactions have increased, certain transactions are still fee-free, such as exchanging stablecoin pairs for the same underlying asset or wrapping and unwrapping WETH.

Users can avoid fees by utilizing alternative interfaces to access Uniswap. However, all transactions performed on the mainnet and supported layer 2 networks will be subject to increased fees.

Interestingly, the fee revision coincides with Uniswap’s approval of the Wells notice, a precursor to the SEC’s enforcement action. As a result, market observers have suggested that Uniswap’s trading fee increase was a strategic move to shore up financial reserves in anticipation of potential legal proceedings from financial watchdogs.

“Interface fees go to Uniswap Labs to fund the operations of the team building products around the protocol… Or, in this case, sue the SEC on behalf of the entire industry. If you don’t want to pay fees, just use an aggregator. After all, regular users get better service through aggregators (hint, they often take a commission too).” Dan Smith, researcher at cryptocurrency platform Blockwork Research said.

SEC lawsuits against cryptocurrency companies tend to be time-consuming and financially burdensome. For example, Ripple has spent over $200 million on ongoing litigation against the SEC.

Despite potentially requiring significant financial outlay, Uniswap has signaled its intention to contest the lawsuit. The company believes its efforts are an important step in defending DeFi principles.
