Q3 2023 PitchBook Analyst Note: Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks

Case Study Link: Q3 2023 PitchBook Analyst Note: Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks

Description

Can decentralized infrastructure providers disrupt the status quo?

Physical multibillion-dollar infrastructure industries such as wireless telecoms, sensor networks, and cloud servers have long held the status quo, but decentralized physical infrastructure networks, or DePINs, could upend them with a new business model. These networks, which use token incentives to help offset the huge capital expenditures required to build physical infrastructure, are the focus of our latest analyst note. DePINs may still have a way to go before they are ready for prime time, but VC deal trends indicate investors are bullish on the new vertical.
