Uniswap founder Hayden Adams warned the CFTC's Innovation Advisory Committee that unclear US crypto regulations are driving builders and developers to relocate overseas, potentially shifting innovation and capital away from the US. His comments highlight the ongoing debate over regulatory clarity and jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC and the challenges of regulating DeFi protocols like Uniswap.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

◆ The Wire takeaway

US crypto founders face a rapid decision point as regulatory uncertainty now pushes key talent and projects overseas. You must treat US regulatory clarity as a market access risk and explore non-US jurisdictions or last-mover opportunities before domestic rules settle.
