The SEC has recently filed lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase, claiming that many altcoins are unregistered securities. This development has led to a decline in altcoins, which are considered securities. One of these altcoins is MATIC. MATIC is down about 14% in the last 7 days and 0.82% in the last 24 hours.
Polygon Labs’ announcement of Polygon 2.0, which aims to build the internet’s “Value Layer” and includes a series of upgrades that the company says will allow users to “create, exchange and program value”, has had no bullish leverage effect on MATIC. Also, eToro's announcement that it will delist ALGO, MANA, DASH, and MATIC for its U.S. customers following the SEC’s actions may have contributed to MATIC’s decline.
