The emerging trend of DePIN (Decentralized Protocols for Infrastructure Networks) is gaining traction in the cryptocurrency market, with a focus on robust, scalable, and cost-effective solutions. Despite their potential, DePINs have not yet achieved explosive growth, possibly due to the decentralized protocols' lack of sleek UX, agile innovation, and hungry sales teams. However, projects like @ionet are paving the way for a new DeFi ecosystem, known as DePINFi, which leverages blockchain technology and token reward mechanisms. @ionet's infrastructure value recently surpassed the $2 billion mark, indicating significant growth and potential for the sector, with $IO poised to be another monster launch this month. This development is supported by partnerships with @POKTnetwork and @AIOZNetwork, and is seen as the beginning of $IO's journey as the currency of compute, highlighting the financialization and tokenization as key drivers for the future of DePINs.
DePIN will give way to DePINFi Crypto’s PMF is tokenization and financialization. AI compute DePINs like @ionet hold billions in infrastructure value and then generate billions again in compute value. Tokenized RWAs and LSTs are a natural evolution of projects like @ionet and… https://t.co/2FEs6TK6Ne
