Raj's work has drawn legal and regulatory attention. In July 2022, a putative class action was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that Solana Labs sold unregistered securities via SOL tokens; named defendants included Solana Labs, Anatoly Yakovenko, and the Solana Foundation. In June 2023, the SEC alleged in lawsuits against Binance and Coinbase that SOL is an unregistered security, a claim the Solana Foundation publicly denied. Following FTX's bankruptcy in November 2022, SOL fell sharply as Alameda Research and FTX had been major SOL holders.
