The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dismissed its case against Nova Labs, stating that the project's tokens are not securities.
Nova Labs agreed to pay a $200,000 civil penalty to settle fraud claims without admitting fault.
The dismissal sets a precedent for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) that use cryptocurrency incentives to create physical infrastructure.
The SEC has dropped charges against prominent cryptocurrency businesses during the Trump administration, including Coinbase, Binance, and Uniswap.
