After Shapeshift and BitMex were forced to implement KYC, I think it's only a matter of time until the same happens to Uniswap.
The question is when?

Pretty trivial to do a kycless fork ... liquidity will move

Do you think a fork would work in the long run? BitMex tried to avoid this by setting up their HQ in some "regulation friendly country" and ultimately still susceptible to KYC.

I mean yeah more than anything if uniswap added kyc in their v3 contract liquidity will just stay in v2 and some community member will whip up a frontend

But that community member will be susceptible to the same regulations. KYC seems inevitable.

Its harder for companies to go anonymous for lots of structural reasons, but hosting websites as an individual is pretty easy
