Uniswap Labs introduced Permissioned Pools, a Uniswap v4 hook standard designed to support trading of regulated tokenized assets through automated market makers. Developed in collaboration with Securitize, Superstate, and Dowgo, the system checks issuer-managed allowlists at the protocol level before swaps or liquidity actions proceed. Uniswap Labs cited an estimate that the tokenized asset market could reach $11 trillion by 2030.

On-chain compliance verification system
