eToro interrompe temporariamente as compras de ALGO, MANA, MATIC e DASH para clientes nos EUA

A plataforma líder de comércio de varejo eToro anunciou uma suspensão temporária na compra de quatro criptomoedas, Algorand (ALGO), Decentraland (MANA), Polygon (MATIC) e Dash (DASH), para seus clientes nos Estados Unidos. A decisão vem em resposta a ações judiciais recentes da Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dos Estados Unidos que rotulam esses tokens como valores mobiliários.

The social trading and investment company Etoro declared on Monday that starting July 12, 2023, U.S. customers would be unable to initiate new trades for ALGO, MANA, DASH, and MATIC. The company cited the “rapidly evolving regulatory landscape” as the reason behind the delistings.

Ethereum's Layer-2 scalability platform Polygon recently faced major headwinds as the SEC named its native cryptocurrency MATIC, a security. But looking past that, the Polygon team has recently unveiled Polygon 2.0 to build the Value Layer of the Internet.

Polygon's zkEVM Beta achieves 100K unique wallets, reflecting growing popularity and adoption. The exponential increase in unique wallets showcases Polygon's ability to attract diverse users.

The Total Value Locked (TVL) and transaction volume on Polygon's zkEVM platform has increased significantly, demonstrating extraordinary growth. This increase lays the door for decreased costs and increased use of DeFi technologies.

Polygon Labs, the developer of leading Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution Polygon, has announced the rollout of Polygon 2.0, a significant upgrade designed to establish the network as the “value layer of the internet.” “Value Layer” Polygon 2.0 substantially builds upon the L2 chain's existing network.

Polygon, the platform builder for Ethereum scaling, recently unveiled their upcoming project known as Polygon 2.0. Polygon Labs and its ecosystem partners have been hinting at this development on Twitter for several days, often emphasizing the number 2.

The recent altcoin crash fueled the ongoing downtrend in MATIC price and plunged to yearly support of $0.518. From the peak of $0.95, this downfall tumbled the price by nearly 45% within a week.

Since last Friday's wMarket report, the cryptocurrency market saw outflows of $49.5 billion and currently stands at $1.06 trillion — down 4.5% from $1.11 trillion. Over the weekend, the market caps of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) fell 2.3% and 5.1% to $503.59 billion and $210.04 billion, respectively.

Polygon Labs has responded to the SEC's claims that its native token MATIC is an unregistered security. The US SEC last week labelled Polygon and other popular cryptocurrencies unregistered securities in a lawsuit filed against crypto exchange Binance.

The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) recent crackdown on major crypto exchanges such as Coinbase Inc (NASDAQ:COIN) and Binance has had a wide-reaching impact on various cryptocurrencies. In response to the SEC's increased scrutiny, some exchanges like Robinhood Inc (NASDAQ:HOOD) have even gone so far as to delist certain tokens, including Polygon (CRYPTO: MATIC).
