The line between crypto and Wall Street just blurred, and DePIN drew it.
In just one week, the @SECGov, @SPGlobal, and @CNBC all pointed to the same thing:
🧱 Infrastructure is the future
💸 DePIN is real business

— a #DePINHubThread 🧵
@HesterPeirce @doublezero While most of crypto chased charts…
DePIN quietly wired up the real world.
Now the world noticed.
✅ The SEC cleared DePIN tokens from securities status
✅ S&P launched a crypto x equities index
✅ CNBC said crypto millionaires now buy infra, not Lambos
It’s happening.
🚨 On Sept 29, the @SECGov issued a no-action letter for the 2Z token by @doublezero. And with it, a legal greenlight for DePIN.
They ruled that tokens rewarded for running nodes, supplying bandwidth, or contributing compute are not securities.
It’s work; not speculation.
SEC Commissioner @HesterPeirce shared this:
“DePIN projects allocate tokens as compensation for work performed or services rendered, rather than as investments with an expectation of profit.”
That one sentence rewrote the rules.
Infrastructure is now recognized as economic activity!
This isn’t just a legal win, it’s a cultural one.
For the first time, a US regulator said what DePIN builders have always known:
→ Running a hotspot isn’t passive.
→ Mapping a city isn’t speculative.
→ Powering AI compute is work.
Builders ≠ investors. They’re operators.
While the @SECGov stepped back… Wall Street stepped in.
@SPGlobal launched the Digital Markets 50 — an index of 15 crypto assets and 35 blockchain-linked equities.
And here’s the kicker:
It’s tokenized.
On-chain.
And built with @DinariGlobal infra.
The S&P 500 is the gold standard of markets.
And now it lives on the same rails as DePIN.
💡 Regulated financial products
📊 Tracked liquidity thresholds
🪙 Tokenized access
Markets only measure what they trust.
Last week, S&P decided to trust DePIN.
And just when we thought it couldn’t get weirder… @CNBC aired this:
“Lambos are out.
Real estate is in.
70,000 new crypto millionaires are reinvesting in infra.”
Speculation is giving way to construction!
In 2017, crypto wealth bought flexes.
In 2025, it’s buying networks.
That wealth now funds:
📡 Hotspots
🚗 Mapping devices
🧠 AI GPUs
🔋 Energy nodes
That’s the business model Verified Projects like:
@ROVR_Network
@Beamable
@mawariXR
are scaling right now!
So what now?
This is the gold rush moment. But instead of tokens, people want shovels.
And instead of mining coins… they’re supplying infra.
🧠 AI compute → @Acurast @Beamable
📍 Mapping → @ROVR_Network @Hivemapper @NATIXNetwork
📶 Connectivity → @helium @GEODNET_
⚡️ Green Energy → @arkreen_network
And these aren’t experiments.
@ROVR_Network just mapped Paris in 7 weeks and converted it into paid contracts.
@GEODNET_ partnered with Bharat Petroleum
This is the cycle where every action = value.
2025/10/14
Big news, India! 🇮🇳 GEODNET is thrilled to announce our game-changing partnership with Bharat Petroleum the powerhouse govt-owned fuel giant!
With GEODNET miners powering up multiple BPCL petrol stations, we're revolutionizing RTK/GNSS data capture.
Unlocking cm-level precision for drones, autonomous vehicles, agrotech & more. Fueling India's location innovation! @Inflectionin
Now that regulation ✅ and finance ✅ are in…
the last thing DePIN needs is trust.
That’s where we come in.
At @hotspotty:
➡ We verify projects
➡ We reward genuine participation
This is what our ecosystem was built for!
So, is the gold rush back?
Yes.
But this time, the tools are different...
→ Dashcams instead of drills
→ Nodes instead of pickaxes
→ Leaderboards instead of land deeds
The Real Economy is on-chain.
And DePIN is the infrastructure it runs on!
