Major players in the DeFi ecosystem are taking a stand. The Uniswap Foundation, Andreessen Horowitz, and the DeFi Education Fund are among those pushing back against Citadel's push for tighter SEC oversight of DeFi intermediaries. Their unified response: the firm's position misses the mark. This clash reflects deeper tensions over how regulators should approach decentralized finance—whether through restrictive frameworks or ecosystem-friendly policies that preserve innovation.

Laughing out loud, Citadel is trying to put a magic seal on DeFi, but a bunch of big shots collectively turn their faces away.

NGL, Citadel is trying to kill the entire ecosystem this time. Luckily, Uniswap and others have stepped up.

I really don't understand Citadel's mindset, wanting to clamp down on DeFi? It's only right that a group of big players team up to push back against it.

Citadel is trying to kill DeFi... Silicon Valley VCs have finally united. Gotta give them a thumbs up this time.

Hmm, what is Citadel trying to do? Really --- a16z's counterattack still has some substance; at least it's better than some people just talking tough --- If DeFi gets locked down completely, it would really be pointless. Honestly, it's still a battle of interests --- It's the same old script again, centralized forces vs. innovators, never-ending --- Uniswap's collaboration this time was quite wise; otherwise, they would have been cut off at the throat --- It feels like Citadel just wants to monopolize the discourse power. Don't pretend anymore, everyone --- When will this regulatory tug-of-war ever reach a conclusion? So annoying --- By the way, if DeFi really gets constrained, where will the next hot spot be? --- a16z throwing money and weapons this time is fine; I'm just worried it might all be in vain in the end

NGL, Citadel's gameplay is old news. I really want to see DeFi innovation killed off.
