Odaily reports: Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on the X platform that today's most bullish AMM news is not the SEC's official statement, but the accompanying comment letter from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce.In the comment letter, Peirce stated that truly decentralized systems driven by autonomous software "need no exemption." Adams said this means that ordinary permissionless Uniswap does not need to apply for an exemption; the exemption mainly applies to permissioned pools in Uniswap v4, providing a compliant pathway for transactions involving relevant assets and users within the United States. Adams stated that this will help drive AMM adoption, and Uniswap will subsequently submit a comment letter and propose improvement suggestions.
Odaily Odaily News Former White House Crypto and AI Director David Sacks posted on X, stating that the Chinese AI model Kimi K3 has topped the Frontier Code Arena front-end coding benchmark for the first time, and has reached or approached industry-leading levels in several other benchmark evaluations. This trend is noteworthy. While China's AI capabilities are rapidly improving, the US is mired in internal strife due to regulatory controversies. He criticized some US politicians and regulatory bodies for restricting new data center construction, increasing state-level regulatory requirements, and promoting the establishment of new federal agencies for pre-approval of frontier AI models.David Sacks warned that if the US slows down innovation due to excessive regulation, it may lose its competitive edge in the global AI race. "The US won the internet era through permissionless innovation, and it can win the AI era the same way; otherwise, we will see our leading position gradually erode." While AI development still needs to address safety risks, regulation should be precise, not hinder technological innovation. His remarks have once again sparked discussion on AI regulation, computing infrastructure construction, and the competitive landscape between China and the US.
According to Caixin, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) released a consultation paper on April 17, 2026, proposing more accommodating regulatory capital guidelines for crypto assets on permissionless blockchains (i.e., public blockchains) ahead of implementing the Basel Committee’s new capital requirements for crypto assets. The current Basel framework is viewed as overly stringent in its classification of public blockchain-based assets, potentially stifling banking-sector innovation. MAS plans to abandon a “one-size-fits-all” classification approach and instead allow public blockchain-based crypto assets that meet a set of principle-based criteria to be classified as Group 1 crypto assets—carrying lower risk weights and less stringent prudential requirements—to achieve regulatory technology neutrality.
