🚹17 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce Backs DePIN & RWA Tokenization

In a landmark signal of regulatory openness, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce voiced strong support for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization projects.

đŸ”č Why it matters:

DePIN uses peer-to-peer networks to unlock real-world capabilities—storage, telecom bandwidth, mapping, energy—through open collaboration. Tokens here aren’t speculative securities but functional incentives rewarding participants for real services.

đŸ”č Regulatory milestone:

The SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance issued a no-action letter for DoubleZero’s token distributions, confirming that such tokens don’t satisfy the Howey Test. This shift allows builders to focus on infrastructure—not legal uncertainty.

đŸ”č Broader impact:

Top projects like Bittensor (TAO), Render (RNDR), Filecoin (FIL), and The Graph (GRT) stand to benefit from this pro-innovation approach.

💡 Commissioner Peirce’s stance signals that blockchain infrastructure is not only viable but also welcome under a clearer, more supportive regulatory framework.

👉 Do you see DePIN as the next frontier where crypto meets the real world?
