Uniswap founder: Exchanges must stay open amid geopolitical tension

Hayden Adams, founder of the decentralized exchange (DEX) Uniswap (UNI), has argued that exchanges must remain operational amid growing geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran. He stated that blocking trades only takes away consumer choice and that people need access to liquidity, especially during such times of tension. Adams stressed that financial systems should always be running and accessible. His comments follow an announcement from the Dubai stock exchange that it was suspending operations until further notice in response to Iran's retaliatory attacks.
