The Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) sector saw significant investment inflow during the first quarter of 2025. Crypto market analytics provider Messari reported that DePIN projects collectively raised over $150 million in funding during this period. This occurred even as generally bearish sentiment affected much of the broader altcoin market, highlighting growing investor interest in this specific niche.

One crypto analyst posting on X (formerly Twitter), for example, recently highlighted several native tokens drawing user attention, including ATH, SPON, HEU, PEAQ, NATIX, and LMWR. It’s worth noting, however, that these specific tokens were not among the top 10 DePIN projects by market capitalization at the time of reporting. The analyst indicated the selection reflected their individual research focus rather than overall market ranking.

Many analysts suggest the sector’s growth stems from its promise to improve the management and efficiency of real-world physical infrastructure. DePIN projects typically leverage blockchain and crypto-incentives to offer increased efficiency, greater transparency, and potential cost-effectiveness compared to traditional centralized systems. Their adoption appears to be growing, particularly in vital areas like energy distribution grids, telecommunications networks, mobility, and smart city development – sectors crucial for ongoing global infrastructure upgrades. Analysts often link the significant capital flowing into DePIN to the rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). The tight integration of AI with potentially billions of connected IoT devices is expected to form the backbone of many future technology ecosystems. Within this context, experts believe decentralized networks will provide essential, robust infrastructure needed for efficient and secure data exchange between AI-driven applications and the vast array of sensors and devices powering them. This potential foundational role in supporting next-generation technology helps explain the increasing investor focus on the innovative DePIN ecosystem within the broader Web3 space.

Portfolio strategy that has worked well for many of my friends in the space: Sit 100% in stables, and take individual bets when opportunities arise. Essentially, treating stables as your default position, and any altcoin trade as a deviation away from that position. It's not the right strategy for everyone, and you do need skill to manage the entries/exits of your active positions - but i've seen it work many times. Pros: • No downside risk (minus inflation/opportunity cost) • Liquidity to take advantage of big drawdowns whilst others panic • Less emotion • Leverage to go big when the stars align on a trade Cons: • Rules out long-term fundamental investing (where I have historically done well, alongside many others) • Requires a higher degree of skill with your active trades • Opportunity cost/risk of being caught off-side (slightly mitigated by the fact that in an uptrend, you're likely trading bullish continuation anyway) Currently, I am doing a 50/50 split. 50% long term, 50% stables (this strategy). That's where I am most comfortable, and what aligns the best with my temperament. The best strategy is the one which aligns with your own skills/pitfalls.

Bitpanda, the Vienna-based crypto asset platform, has secured a broker-dealer license from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). The license enables Bitpanda to open its platform to users from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Securing the license is a significant step for Bitpanda, which already has a permanent office in Dubai at the DMCC Crypto Centre and a team of regional experts to develop products tailored to the UAE market. According to a statement, Bitpanda expects to start onboarding UAE users in the coming months. Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, deputy CEO at Bitpanda Group, stated that obtaining the VARA license aligns with the company’s goal of making virtual assets secure and accessible. “With our VARA license, we are bringing that vision to the UAE, ensuring investors and financial institutions have access to a fully compliant digital asset platform. This is just the beginning of our expansion beyond Europe. We are ready to grow in a region that embraces innovation and regulation equally,” Enzersdorfer-Konrad said. Nadeem Ladki, global head of Bitpanda Technology Solutions, noted that obtaining the license is a milestone for the crypto asset platform as it kickstarts the expansion into the Middle East. According to the statement, the VARA broker license is a testament to Bitpanda’s proactive approach to regulation. The company currently holds several licenses, including a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) license from the German regulator BaFin. It is also registered with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and holds a Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) e-money license and a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) license. Meanwhile, Fabian Reinisch, general counsel at Bitpanda Group, said that obtaining the license in record time demonstrates the company’s commitment to upholding high standards. “We obtained approval in record time, and I believe that is a testament to the decade of experience our teams have in the digital asset space and our commitment to the highest regulatory standards,” Reinisch said. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Harpie, the Web3 security platform, announced on March 27 that it is ceasing operations, ending its mission to create a “theft-free” crypto ecosystem. The Coinbase and OpenSea-backed platform cited an unsustainable business model as the reason for its shutdown. The platform had garnered attention for its onchain firewall technology, designed to monitor transactions in real-time to prevent hacks, scams, and theft. Harpie enabled users to secure their digital wallets by blocking malicious transactions and recovering stolen assets. However, despite its innovative features, the platform struggled to sustain a viable business model in the competitive and rapidly evolving Web3 space. In a statement shared on X, Harpie expressed hope that its efforts would inspire other firms to continue working toward solving the problem of crypto theft. Like other blockchain security platforms, Harpie frequently issued alerts about the latest tactics employed by scammers and hackers, offering advice to users facing transaction issues. “If your transactions are failing, please disconnect your wallets from the Harpie RPC via your wallet’s network switcher. We will be creating a utility to move vaulted assets on the Harpie website in the coming days,” the company stated in its X post. Harpie also assured users with pending giveaway commitments that these obligations would be honored, with further details to be shared through its Discord channel. The platform’s closure comes more than two years after it raised $4.5 million in a funding round led by Coinbase Ventures, Dragonfly Capital, and Opensea. The investment had aimed to expand Harpie’s capabilities to prevent a broader range of attacks and serve institutional clients, such as group treasuries. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
