Scanned PANews: SMBC Nikko Securities today announced that it has signed a cooperation memorandum to work with Nethermind, Uniswap Labs, the Nyx Foundation, and Coinbase Technologies running on Base, to build a compliant DeFi Gateway for Japanese investors. The target is to launch around mid-2027. They will build their own liquidity pool and supply protocols and comply with Japanese regulations.
Three parts that are fairly concrete: First, an “agentic vault” and interface with verifiable and reproducible AI. Second, a compliant liquidity-pool framework with built-in AML/CFT and investor-protection using Uniswap v4 Hooks. Third, asset-management strategies covering stablecoins and RWA. SMBC Nikko Securities will handle regulatory communication, compliance, and risk-control models, while Nethermind will own the technical work and smart-contract security. The broker team is putting real money and effort into a compliance gateway—more grounded than just talking up the RWA narrative.
