Uniswap Labs, the key company building atop decentralized crypto exchange Uniswap, will impose a 0.15% fee starting Tuesday on trades involving ETH, USDC and other tokens. Only swaps that execute through Uniswap Labs’ front end will be taxed.

After this story was published, a Uniswap spokeswoman wrote that she “just wanted to clarify that both the input and output token need to be on the list for the fee to apply (not just on one end).”
