The Polygon Foundation has denied rumors circulating on social media that the sudden transfer of 1.2 billion Matic tokens to Binance was a ?dump? of the cryptocurrency. In a statement released on June 17th, the Foundation clarified that the transfer was part of a planned operation to support liquidity on multiple exchanges.
According to the statement, the Foundation transferred the tokens from its treasury to Binance as part of a broader effort to support the growth of the Polygon ecosystem. The tokens were not sold on the exchange, but rather deposited into a liquidity pool to support trading on Binance and other exchanges.
Despite the Foundation?s explanation, some members of the cryptocurrency community remain skeptical. Some have pointed to the fact that the transfer coincided with a sharp drop in the price of Matic, suggesting that the Foundation may have been trying to unload its holdings onto the market.
However, the Foundation has dismissed these claims, stating that it remains committed to supporting the long-term growth of Polygon and its associated tokens. The Foundation further clarified that it has no plans to sell any additional Matic tokens in the near future.
