MATIC is currently facing increased uncertainty as it has been officially classified<\/a> as a security by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, as revealed in the recent filing against Binance.<\/p>\n Consequently, the Polygon blockchain token experienced a significant drop<\/a> of 31% within a week, setting a new record. However, there is some positive news as it has managed to recover, witnessing a promising rebound of over 11% in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n L2 coins will be the next bullrun coins. Already knew, already confirmed.$SOL<\/a> $ADA<\/a> $MATIC<\/a> and others L1’s got the security stamp. Regulation will kick hard = tight choice of L1\/L2 coins. Where will all this money flow to? pic.twitter.com\/jw5xpLRA4j<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Zoomer Oracle (@ZoomerOracle) June 5, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n MATIC is one of the 13 tokens within the Binance lawsuit to be designated as a security. Polygon Labs, the developer of MATIC, issued a statement on Twitter defending Polygon saying that the network is \u201cdeveloped outside the US, deployed outside the US, and focused to this day on the global community that supports the network.\u201d<\/p>\n This recent lawsuit against Binance was followed up<\/a> by the SEC\u2019s lawsuit against Coinbase, citing that the company is operating an unregistered exchange in connection with the company\u2019s staking service.<\/p>\n With the recent classification of several cryptocurrencies as securities, the market has slid considerably within the past week. Bitcoin, the top cryptocurrency, gained<\/a> dominance in light of the recent regulatory fillings against Binance and Coinbase.<\/p>\n The other tokens in the list<\/a> are SOL, ADA, FIL, ATOM, SAND, MANA, ALGO, and COTI. According to the lawsuit, the tokens are listed as investment contracts. This made the SEC label them as securities in accordance with the Howey Test<\/a>, which is a test to know whether a certain asset is a security or not.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This move by the SEC was in line with its recent actions against the crypto industry. Just this February, the regulatory body cracked down on Kraken\u2019s staking service along with forcing the company to pay $30 million in penalties for the violations.<\/p>\n If the mentioned tokens and companies fail to comply with the SEC, it may lead to another Ripple-like event which will affect the market.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, MATIC is being supported at the $0.6 price level which will act as the launch pad for future bullishness. However, external market forces still hold sway in the token\u2019s momentum and price actions in the near future. The recent lawsuits already slashed millions upon millions of possible gains for investors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nSource: Coingecko<\/pre>\n
