As Washington scrambles to form a regulatory strategy for crypto, Uniswap Labs – the developers behind Uniswap, the largest exchange in decentralized finance (DeFi) – has hired a new communications chief who may have some experience in navigating choppy political waters. Hari Sevugan, a former D.C. operative who has held senior positions on staff for multiple high-profile statesmen, will manage public-facing communications for Uniswap Labs, including “helping the company tell its story to existing users and new audiences and managing media affairs,” per a Uniswap spokesperson. Sevugan previously served as former President Barack Obama’s senior spokesperson for the 2008 Presidential campaign, the deputy campaign manager for brand and media for former Mayor Pete Buttigeig’s 2020 campaign and as the national press secretary for the Democratic National Committee.
