DePIN Tokens Aren’t Securities—Here’s Why That Matters for Earnings

[kevin1]

The SEC clarified that DePIN tokens are functional incentives, not equity:

Tokens are allocated for work or services

They don’t promise profits from others’ efforts

Regulatory burdens are minimized, letting projects scale faster

How to Make Money: Participate early in token launches that reward infrastructure or network contributions. Your efforts can be compensated in tokens whose value grows as the network expands.
