Hotspot device deployers will not receive direct payments from AT&T, but will continue to earn HNT tokens through a "usage-based reward system." Di Dio said that "AT&T's partnership with Helium highlights the real-world utility of cryptocurrency."

Odaily News Nova Labs, the developer of the Helium Network, said the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped charges that the company sold unregistered securities. Helium said in a blog post Thursday that this means that selling "hardware and distributing tokens to promote network growth" does not automatically make it a security. The SEC sued Nova Labs in January, a few days after former chairman Gary Gensler resigned on January 20. The lawsuit involved three Helium-related tokens - Helium Network Token (HNT), Helium Mobile Token (MOBILE) and Helium Internet of Things Network Token (IoT) - which the SEC said were unregistered securities.

<p>Odaily News The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has sued Nova Labs, creator of the Helium network, alleging the company sold unregistered securities and misled investors, the latest and likely final enforcement action taken by outgoing chairman Gary Gensler.<br/> The lawsuit, filed Friday, targets three Helium-related tokens: the Helium Network Token (HNT), the Helium Mobile Token (MOBILE), and the Helium Internet of Things Network Token (IoT), which the agency says were sold as unregistered securities. The lawsuit also accuses Nova Labs of misleading investors about several high-profile partnerships.<br/> Helium founder Amir Haleem posted a defiant message on Sunday, calling the lawsuit a “last-ditch effort in a losing crusade against U.S. cryptocurrency companies.”<br/> “The SEC wasted two years of our time and millions of dollars pursuing any claim they could think of… I rarely get angry, but this is a blood-curdling series of events,” Haleem said. Regarding the allegation that Helium misled investors, Haleem said: “We have dealt with this issue in the past and have worked with every Helium company named in the lawsuit.”<br/> “We will vigorously defend ourselves and continue Gensler’s record of dismal SEC losses and outright lies,” Haleem concluded, “not only for us, but for all DePIN projects. If Helium Hotspot is a security, then it puts all DePINs at risk. We will not allow that to happen.”<br/></p>
