TREE NEWS update: Uniswap founder Hayden Adams said the SEC’s newly issued crypto asset FAQ clarifies that token buybacks do not cause commodity tokens to be classified as securities, and that liquid staking tokens for commodity tokens are likewise not securities. Adams cited the guidance in a post on X.
Uniswap’s Hayden: Token Buybacks Don’t Make Commodity Tokens Securities
This matters less for Uniswap specifically than for the wider class of tokens whose teams have been weighing buyback programs while commodity-status questions linger. Adams is reading the FAQ as settling a question that has quietly shaped treasury policy across the sector, and extending it to liquid staking receipts. Whether that reading holds up in practice — and whether other projects treat it as a green light — is the open question worth watching.
