The feature is currently available on the Uniswap wallet for Android and iOS, with plans to expand to its browser extension and web app.
This integration aims to address the long-standing challenges of converting crypto to fiat, which previously required centralized exchanges and complex processes.
Now, users can seamlessly transition between digital assets and cash with just a few clicks.
The announcement follows a major regulatory win for Uniswap.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially dropped its investigation into Uniswap Labs, which began in April 2023.
Similarly, Robinhood’s crypto division also saw the SEC end its probe, signaling a shift in regulatory scrutiny.
Despite these positive developments, Uniswap’s total value locked (TVL) has fallen by 30% since the start of the year, reflecting a broader market decline.
Currently standing at $4.2 billion, its TVL is down from its $10 billion peak in 2021.
In January, Uniswap launched v4, enhancing user experience and developer tools across 12 blockchain networks.
