Facing recent scrutiny from the SEC, neo-bank Revolut has announced it will stop supporting Polygon (MATIC), Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) in the United States. What are the consequences for users? Let’s see this together.
Delists Revolut MATIC, ADA and SOL in the US
In a few weeks, US Revolut users will no longer be able to access the following cryptocurrencies: Polygon (MATIC), Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL). The announcement was made through an email sent by the neo-bank to all its American customers, suing them “changes to laws and regulations related to cryptocurrencies in the United States”.
This decision follows the regulatory battle waged by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against players in the cryptocurrency industry. As part of the complaints filed against Binance and Coinbase, the American financial police announced that he considered some assets (in particular the MATIC, the ADA and the SOL) as transferable securities (securities).
This decision probably does not come directly from the will of Revolut. In fact, the neo-bank goes through an intermediary to provide its services related to cryptocurrencies. In the US, this is Bakkta company listed on the New York Stock Exchange decided to no longer support the cryptocurrencies pinned by the SEC.
