SEC Issues No-Action Letter to Fuse Energy: Major Win for Solana DePIN and Utility Tokens

Hey crypto enthusiasts, if you've been keeping an eye on Solana's bustling ecosystem, you've probably heard the buzz about Fuse Energy. This DePIN project just scored a huge victory with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and it's got implications that could ripple through the entire blockchain space—including the world of meme tokens.

Let's dive right in. On November 24, 2025, the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance issued a no-action letter to Fuse Crypto Limited. In simple terms, this means the SEC won't pursue enforcement actions if Fuse offers and sells its tokens without registering them as securities under U.S. laws. The key reason? The tokens are tied to actual network utility, not just speculative profits.

This news broke via a tweet from SolanaFloor, a go-to source for Solana updates:

🚨BREAKING: The SEC has issued a no-action letter to @fuseenergy, the @Solana based DePin project building a decentralized energy grid.

The agency says Fuse’s token offer is not an investment contract since its value is tied to network utility rather than investor profit expectations.

For those new to the lingo, DePIN stands for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks. Think of it as using blockchain to crowdsource and manage real-world stuff like energy distribution, internet connectivity, or data storage. Fuse Energy is all about creating a decentralized energy grid on Solana, where participants use FUSE tokens to contribute resources—like excess energy from solar panels—and get rewarded in return. It's not just hype; it's about making energy more efficient and affordable.

The SEC's decision hinges on the famous Howey Test, which checks if something qualifies as an "investment contract." If it does, it needs to be registered as a security. But here, the tokens are more like utility keys to the network, not shares in a company promising profits from someone else's work.

Here's a look at the highlighted section from the SEC's response letter:

The full letter, dated November 24, 2025, states: "Based on the facts presented, the Division will not recommend enforcement action to the Commission if, in reliance on your opinion as counsel, Fuse offers and sells the Tokens in the manner and under the circumstances described in your letter without registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and does not register the Tokens as a class of equity securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act."

Why does this matter for meme tokens? Well, many memes start as fun, community-driven projects on Solana, but adding real utility—like what Fuse is doing—could help them steer clear of regulatory pitfalls. It's a reminder that blending memes with practical use cases might be the future, especially as regulators get more involved.

Following the announcement, the FUSE token has seen renewed interest. According to recent reports, it's regaining momentum as investors see this as a green light for utility-driven crypto Bitget News.
