Privacy-centric firm Nym, backed by a16z and other investors, has launched its zero-knowledge powered payment system and introduced a perpetual token buyback model. The decentralized technology provider’s DePIN payments system and token buyback are now live for public testing. Specifically, NymVPN, first introduced in November 2023, will launch commercially on March 13, 2025. Ahead of the public rollout, users will have the opportunity to battle-test the payment mechanism,, the NymVPN team said in an announcement. When it goes live, subscribers will be able to pay in fiat such as euros and dollars, or in Bitcoin (BTC). The project also supports payments with the native NYM token. Nym will convert all fiat and crypto payments for NymVPN subscription to the native token NYM, with the perpetual buyback set to create a “flywheel” reflecting market demand. “The launch of NYM activated the supply-side of privacy and created a network of over a thousand nodes. Today we are activating the demand side, allowing ordinary users to pay in fiat and Bitcoin for NymVPN. Their payment is then converted to NYM token buy-orders to keep the network running,” the Nym CEO added.

Meanwhile, buyback means subscriptions will help create consistent buy pressure for the NYM token. NYM, which launched in 2022, is a token designed to reward the Nym ecosystem’s mixnet node operators. According to Harry Halpin, chief executive officer of Nym, the token is key to the project’s goal of delivering a privacy-focused decentralized network. The launch of the DePIN payment system and the NYM token repurchases brings the project’s crypto-economics “full circle.” It allows NYM’s use in tokenization and in rewards, providing further incentive for the community. “Just like everyone should enjoy clean water and electricity, people deserve secure and private communication,” Jaya Brekke, chief strategy officer at Nym, said. “This is not speculative, but a growing real world need. And with the launch of the perpetual buyback mechanism, the token can shift out of a speculative promise to instead signal such real world demand.” You might also like: Nym partners with Zcash to bring network-layer privacy protections

TL;DR The SEC’s February 27 meeting may address Ripple’s XRP, signaling a potential pro-crypto shift under Chairman Mark Uyeda. Unlike recent SEC agreements, the Ripple lawsuit is more complex. Experts predict a settlement, with Judge Torres overseeing compliance with a $125M fine. XRP on the Agenda The lawsuit between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) remains ongoing more than four years. However, multiple developments and events hint that a final resolution could be just around the corner. One example is the regulator’s Sunshine Act meeting scheduled for February 27, which will be closed to the public and will touch upon numerous matters. Some X users noted that Ripple’s native token will also be included in the discussions this time. The analyst using the moniker ALLINCRYPTO outlined that the SEC will particularly focus on Bitwise’s application to introduce a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States. It is worth mentioning that the Commission has already acknowledged the company’s filing, meaning it must officially approve or reject the product’s launch within 240 days. A potential green light would double down on the SEC’s pro-crypto approach since the departure of Gary Gensler. Recall that the former Chairman (who was known for his hostile stance toward the digital asset industry) resigned on January 20 and was succeeded by Mark Uyeda. Under the new leadership, the agency dismissed several lawsuits, including those against Coinbase and Uniswap. In addition, the case versus Binance was paused for 60 days. The XRP Army has raised hopes that the legal battle against their favorite company could be the next to reach its conclusion. Not Like the Rest It is important to note that the Ripple v. SEC lawsuit is different and far more complex than the other cases involving the Commission and crypto entities. One person giving his two cents was the popular US lawyer Jeremy Hogan: “The SEC broke up with Coinbase after a couple of dates. Ripple and the SEC live together and have a baby,” the attorney stated. Hogan believes dismissing the case against Ripple is unlikely, predicting a settlement instead. Eleanor Terrett (a journalist at Fox Business) agreed, saying that Judge Torres has already ordered a $125 million fine on the company for violating certain rules. She added that the magistrate can retain jurisdiction until August 7 “to make sure the terms of the order are met.” Recall that Ripple’s bosses were ready to pay the penalty, but the SEC appealed. The move was expected since the amount represented just a fraction of the $2 billion the watchdog initially requested. The post Is a Major Ripple v. SEC Lawsuit Development Expected This Week?

NymVPN launched a perpetual token buyback mechanism that features a new working model for DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) tokens. This effort enables anonymous access for users while simultaneously compensating those who provide the network’s services. Another Step Before the Final Launch According to a document shared with CryptoPotato, NymVPN is scheduled for a commercial launch on March 13. The project’s zero-knowledge payment system and the perpetual token buyback program are set to go live for public testing on February 26. The team behind the project has invited the community and general public to battle-test this novel payment mechanism and help kickstart the economic cycle of Nym DePIN. Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network, for its part, is considered vital since it provides the layer-0 anonymity network, which is particularly needed across Web3. Commenting on the initiative was Harry Halpin – CEO of Nym: “We launched the NYM token in 2022 to reward mixnet node operators helping us build the world’s most decentralized and anonymous network. The launch of NYM activated the supply side of privacy and created a network of over a thousand nodes. Today, we are activating the demand side, allowing ordinary users to pay in fiat and Bitcoin for NymVPN. Their payment is then converted to NYM token buy-orders to keep the network running.” How Does the System Work? The market for VPNs was forecasted to reach roughly $500 billion by 2034. However, the vast majority of those networks have the necessary privacy protections. Nym’s DePIN model, however, offers a solution. According to the document, the buypack program supports two of NymVPN’s core features: zero-knowledge anonymous credentials (zk-nyms) and a token incentivized mix network of node operators. Via the mechanism, all fiat and crypto subscriptions to NymVPN will be converted to NYM tokens by default. This will establish a self-sustaining cycle that naturally reflects market demand for NymVPN’s services. Keep in mind that this approach is distinct and far more comprehensive than a typical token buyback, where a fixed amount of coins is repurchased from the market often to bolster company treasuries. Subscribers to the mechanism need to possess NYM tokens themselves or pay in crypto. Subscriptions can be purchased using fiat currency like euros and dollars, as well as in Bitcoin or directly in NYM coins. “Just like everyone should enjoy clean water and electricity, people deserve secure and private communication. This is not speculative, but a growing real-world need. And with the launch of the perpetual buyback mechanism, the token can shift out of a speculative promise to instead signal such real-world demand,” Jaya Brekke, Nym’s Chief Strategy Offer, stated.
