Crypto saw renewed momentum this week: Bitcoin reclaimed $120,000 after dipping to $109,000, buoyed by inflows to Ethereum ETFs and a bold $250,000 BTC call from Tim Draper. Solana is pushing for ETF approval, while XRP looks to late-October SEC decisions. In DePIN, a September 30 SEC no‑action letter offered clarity for projects like DoubleZero, noting tokens earned for work may not be securities—a timely tailwind heading into DePIN Day in Singapore on October 3.
Wayru offloading goes live in Mexico
Wayru launched mobile network offloading in Mexico through a major MNO partnership (plus multiple MVNOs), unlocking access to 23M+ subscribers. Combined with 118M users in the U.S., Wayru’s offloading reach now covers ~141M people. Wayru Explorer will soon reveal deployment locations with boosted rewards (0.25x–100x) to guide strategic rollouts. Read more.
SEC weighs in on DePIN: not securities?
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce indicated in a no‑action letter to Double Zero that DePIN tokens may not fall under securities law when:
- Tokens are earned for work performed (e.g., running nodes, providing bandwidth or storage).
- They function as incentives rather than promises of profit from others’ efforts.
- Distribution is programmatic, not investor fundraising.
This framing helps separate DePIN incentive models from traditional securities. Read the statement.
