What changed: Identified Judge Katherine Polk Failla as the presiding judge and linked the ruling to a previous patent infringement victory to provide broader legal context.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla has dismissed all remaining claims against Uniswap Labs with prejudice, ending a lawsuit regarding 'rug pull' scams conducted by third-party issuers. The court ruled that the decentralized protocol cannot be held liable for fraudulent actions committed by independent developers who use the platform to issue tokens. This dismissal follows a previous legal victory for Uniswap in a patent infringement case, significantly strengthening the platform's overall legal standing. The decision establishes a major precedent for the DeFi sector, effectively reducing regulatory and liability risks for non-custodial platform developers. Following the announcement, the UNI token experienced a 6% price increase as investor confidence was bolstered by the ruling. Legal experts suggest that Judge Failla's decision validates the neutral nature of decentralized protocols amidst ongoing regulatory scrutiny in the United States.
