The #Solana  Foundation has rejected the U.S. Security and Exchange Commissionâs classification of its SOL token as a security. Polygon Labs also shared this sentiment, stating that they developed and deployed #MATIC  outside the U.S.
Polygon Labs Said it Did Not Target US MarketPolygon Labs stated that while it made sure #MATIC was available to a broad group of persons, it ensured that the digital asset did not target the U.S. The team acknowledges the non US market as the worldâs largest and expresses gratitude to global stakeholders, including regulators and policymakers, for their contributions.
âWe are proud of the history of the Polygon network â developed outside the US, deployed outside the US, and focused to this day on the global community that supports the network.âThe Polygon growth team further highlighted the importance of MATIC within its ecosystem.
It wrote:âMATIC was a necessary part of the Polygon technology from Day 1, ensuring that the network would be secure â and remains so to this day.âPolygonâs MATIC was one of the numerous digital assets labeled as securities by the U.S. SEC.
The crypto coin rose by over 3% in the last 24 hours to $0.6551 at this time.
â On the other hand, on June 10, the Solana Foundation expressed willingness to cooperate with regulators to provide further clarity for the emerging industry. And Polygon Labs noted that it did not target the U.S. market with the MATIC coin.
Solana Willing to Work With RegulatorsEarlier this week, the SEC took legal action against crypto exchanges, accusing them of violating federal securities law and facilitating the trades of crypto security assets like SOL.
In response, the Solana Foundation disagreed with the SEC but would welcome âwelcome the continued engagement of policymakers as constructive partners on regulation to achieve legal clarity on these issues for the thousands of entrepreneurs across the U.S. building in the digital assets space.âThe statement resonated with several members of its community, who agreed that the regulator wrongly classified it.
The Foundation added: âThe Solana builder community is the strongest in the industry and continues to build exceptional projects and products. The Solana Foundation remains committed to those building for the long haul to continue to create the best blockchain for a decentralized future.â
Meanwhile, the new conviction has helped SOL rally by more than 4% in the last 24 hours to $15.47 as of press time. However, its price is down more than 20% on the seven days metric after it got delisted it and several whales dumped it.
