DePIN: The Hammer of Implementation and the Breaker of Compliance - Are you ready for the upcoming DePIN SUMMER?

Validated Individual Expert

With the booming of ETFs, the BTC fervor of the US presidential election, the crypto market has gradually walk into the mainstream, the negative attitudes of the past are fading away. At the same time, the crypto industry is actively exploring a more robust path for expansion.

Compliance and rigid rationality have always been important reasons hindering the entry of the traditional world into the crypto market. With the development of the industry, the DePIN track is currently considered the most potential sector to break through the barriers between the traditional world and the on-chain world.

The DePIN concept is built on the foundation of the Internet of Things (IoT), with its core idea being to incentivize users to deploy and maintain hardware devices using virtual assets. It can be categorized into two main types:

Physical Resource Networks (PRN):

Incentivize participants to use location-based hardware to provide unique goods and services in the real world, such as WiFi (Wicrypt), 5G (Helium), geospatial data (Geodnet), energy data sharing (Powerpod), and meteorological data (SkyX).

Digital Resource Networks (DRN):

Incentivize participants to use hardware to provide digital resources in the physical infrastructure network, such as broadband networks, storage networks, and computing power networks. Representative projects in this category include Meson, Render Network, and Livepeer.

What sets DePIN apart from many traditional crypto tracks is its positive business flywheel. Most DePIN projects have the potential to deliver final services to the traditional world. For example, Helium can provide network services to end users, and sensor companies like Geodnet and SkyX can provide data to data buyers. These commercial buyers span industries such as photovoltaics, insurance, financial derivatives, agriculture, and more, with a market size in the trillions. Therefore, DePIN projects differentiate themselves from many other crypto projects by providing services to the real world and generating revenue to reward participating users, achieving co-building and win-win outcomes. Additionally, due to the involvement of manufacturing and logistics in physical networks, it has a positive driving effect on the industrial chain, which will significantly change people's perception of the lack of real value in the crypto market.

The DePIN track is likely to become a multiplier for the entire crypto market, ushering the industry into a more meaningful era of practical value, driving the upstream and downstream industries, and breaking through the compliance barriers of crypto.

  • Apple Plunges Nearly 10%, Q4 Revenue Guidance Misses Expectations

    On July 31, Apple (AAPL.US) plunged nearly 10% to $300.33, marking its biggest drop since April 2025. In terms of fundamentals, Apple's third-fiscal-quarter revenue rose approximately 16% year-over-year to $109.42 billion, slightly above analyst expectations. Among the details, product revenue came in at $78.68 billion, beating the expected $77.25 billion. However, services revenue—a key driver of its valuation re-rating in recent years—totaled $30.74 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $31.36 billion. Additionally, Greater China revenue reached $18.82 billion, with year-over-year growth slowing to 22%, also below analysts' forecast of $19.58 billion. During the earnings call, Apple guided fourth-fiscal-quarter revenue growth in the range of 9% to 11%, overall below the 12.1% analysts had expected. CFO Parekh noted that component supply constraints would impact iPhone, Mac, and iPad businesses in the fourth fiscal quarter, with currency fluctuations also constraining growth.

  • Three Fed Officials Back Rate Hike, Hawkish Pressure Builds

    On July 31, three Federal Reserve policymakers said that dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike this week stemmed from stubborn inflationary pressures, highlighting rising internal pressure on Fed Chair Warsh to act. In statements released Friday morning, Hammack and Kashkari said they worry that although the current round of price increases may stem from short-term factors such as President Trump's tariff policies and the Iran war, the inflation situation already warrants Fed action. Logan also joined in, saying that even if inflation cools, if the Fed does not raise rates, inflation is unlikely to fully fall back to the Fed's 2% target; without any policy constraints, inflation could continue to run above target until an unexpected shock occurs. Kashkari said that if inflation remains persistently stubborn, he might support a series of rate hikes, not just a single increase, to prevent inflation from becoming further entrenched. He said: "A series of small policy adjustments may be preferable to waiting for developments to unfold and ultimately having to take more forceful action." Hammack said that if the Fed does not tighten policy, price increases could continue to accelerate. She said: "Inflation has been stubbornly above 2% for more than five years, and I have no confidence that it will return to our target on its own." (Jin Shi)
