DeNet Shares Vision on Rising Data Storage Costs and Data Sovereignty
April 14, 2025 – As global trade wars escalate, threatening millions of petabytes of data and driving up storage costs, DeNet is launching its Node Sale to empower a decentralized, sovereign solution. Tariffs between the US, China, and Europe—now at 145% on Chinese imports and 125% on American goods—are disrupting data center supply chains, inflating equipment prices, and destabilizing energy markets. Centralized data centers face a grim choice: raise fees, risk outages, or shut down entirely, impacting businesses and consumers worldwide. DeNet’s Node Sale is a key step in launching the newest version of decentralized storage protocol, which is 90% ready. By enabling individuals and organizations to become Datakeeper nodes through the sale, DeNet is building a global network that ensures secure, cost-effective, and sovereign data storage—critical in today’s volatile economy. “As data sovereignty develops, users, businesses, and states face a choice: rely on regional data centers or opt for decentralized solutions like DeNet to avoid risks of information appropriation. DeNet’s protocol, deployable on various blockchains, can be launched locally within the borders of one state and region; it ensures secure, privacy-first storage for all”, says Rafik Singatullin, co-founder of DeNet. DeNet’s current Datakeeper Node Sale is a closed and highly focused event only for those with reservations, running from April 10 to April 17, 2025. In the future, the company may conduct new sales, information about which can be found in their community. About DeNet: DeNet is a programmable DePIN storage layer that unlocks the global potential of unused storage through tokenized RWA capacity. With over 3.5 million users entrusting 15 million files and 1.6 million Watcher Node devices worldwide, DeNet stands out as a fully operational solution, solidifying its leadership in decentralized storage.

Helium Secures Regulatory Victory, Price Surges Amid DePIN Momentum
In a significant development for Helium and the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) movement, the U.S. SEC has officially dismissed its claims of unregistered securities against Helium with prejudice. This ruling means that the SEC cannot refile these charges, effectively clearing a major regulatory hurdle for Helium. As a result, the Helium Network and its associated tokens—HNT, MOBILE, and IOT—can now operate with renewed confidence. Following this announcement, the price of Helium (HNT) surged over 6%, reaching levels not seen in months, raising questions about its potential for further gains. This regulatory clarity is a pivotal moment not only for HNT holders but also for the broader cryptocurrency landscape. The SEC's acknowledgment that Helium Hotspots and its token distribution do not constitute securities removes a significant barrier to adoption. This development allows Helium to expand its operations globally, attract new partnerships, and pursue integrations without the looming threat of legal complications. The positive sentiment among investors is evident in the price charts, which reflect a bullish trend as Helium prepares for a new phase of growth. From a technical perspective, Helium's daily chart indicates a breakout, with the price climbing to $3.72 after weeks of consolidation. The token has reclaimed key moving averages, suggesting strong bullish momentum. If HNT maintains its position above the 100-day SMA at $3.71, it could target the 200-day SMA at $5.32, representing a potential 40% increase. Additionally, the hourly chart shows a recent parabolic spike followed by healthy consolidation, indicating that while profit-taking is occurring, the overall bullish trend remains intact. With the SEC's decision paving the way for Helium's future, projections for HNT could see it reaching between $5.00 and $6.00 in the near term, solidifying its status as a leader in the DePIN sector.

Top Cryptocurrencies to Watch: Fartcoin, Solana, and Arbitrum
Last week, the cryptocurrency market experienced a mixed performance, with notable tokens like Onyxcoin, Fartcoin, Jasmy, Hyperliquid, and Helium witnessing significant gains. In contrast, other altcoins such as Tezos, EOS, Movement, Toncoin, and Ethereum faced double-digit declines. Bitcoin remained in a consolidation phase, despite the US dollar index dropping and U.S. equities fluctuating. This article highlights Fartcoin, Solana, and Arbitrum as the top cryptocurrencies to monitor this week due to their recent performances and market dynamics. Solana, a prominent layer-1 network, is gaining attention this week due to a notable increase in transactions. According to Nansen data, Solana's transactions surged by 6.6% over the past week, reaching 355 million, while transaction fees exceeded $6.15 million. Additionally, Solana has surpassed Ethereum in decentralized exchange transactions, processing over $15 billion recently. The SOL price has rebounded to $129 after hitting a low of $94.65 earlier this month, with potential for further gains as it approaches the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement level at $170. Fartcoin is another cryptocurrency to watch, having surged over 364% from its lowest point this year, marking its highest level since February 1. This surge is attributed to whale accumulation, creating a fear of missing out among investors. Technically, Fartcoin has formed a cup and handle pattern, indicating potential for further upside, with bulls targeting a key resistance level at $1.5. Meanwhile, Arbitrum, despite being in a downtrend, has seen a 40% increase in DEX transaction volume, reaching $4.6 billion. As it approaches a milestone of $500 billion in DEX transactions, the upcoming token unlock worth over $28 million could influence ARB's price, which has formed a bullish divergence pattern, suggesting a possible rebound ahead.
SEC Dismisses Lawsuit Against Nova Labs, Clarifying Helium's Token Status cover

SEC Dismisses Lawsuit Against Nova Labs, Clarifying Helium's Token Status
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially dismissed its lawsuit against Nova Labs, the company responsible for the Helium Network. This decision clarifies that the tokens and hotspot devices associated with the Helium blockchain do not qualify as securities. Helium stated that the SEC's ruling indicates that "selling hardware and distributing tokens for network growth does not automatically make them securities." This landmark decision not only sets a precedent but also alleviates legal uncertainties surrounding the regulatory treatment of decentralized physical infrastructure networks, marking a significant shift in the SEC's approach under new leadership. The lawsuit, originally filed on January 17, accused Nova Labs of violating securities laws through unregistered offerings and misleading investors regarding partnerships with major corporations like Nestlé and Salesforce. The dismissal of this case is particularly notable as it was one of the last enforcement actions taken by former SEC Chair Gary Gensler before his departure. Helium co-founder Amir Haleem described the SEC's actions as "the last gasp of a failed crusade against crypto companies in the U.S." Following the dismissal, Nova Labs reached a modest settlement of $200,000 related to its Series D equity financing, which is significantly lower than penalties imposed in previous crypto-related cases. The resolution of this case is part of a broader trend of reversals by the SEC under the newly appointed leadership of Paul Atkins, who was confirmed by the Senate. During the interim period after Gensler's exit, the SEC has moved to dismiss several major crypto enforcement actions and has issued statements exempting various crypto activities from securities regulation. Despite the positive news for Helium, the network's native token, Helium (HNT), saw little movement, remaining at $2.76 according to CoinGecko data.
