Uniswap and SMBC Nikko to build DeFi gateway for Japanese investors by 2027

  • —Project on Uniswap v4 by SMBC Nikko and Nethermind for the Japanese market
  • —Planned pools for stablecoins and real-world assets, plus AI-powered vaults
  • —DeFi Gateway completion targeted for mid-2027
  • —UNI fell 5% to $8.10, with support at $8.06
Why it matters: Uniswap's entry into Japan's regulated market could unlock institutional DeFi demand, though the impact is deferred until 2027.
