Pi's ambitions for AI growth and regulatory alignment face challenges from developer fatigue and unstable pricing
- Pi Network invests $100M in OpenMind’s AI OS, leveraging 350K nodes to monetize idle computing power via AI model execution. - ISO 20022 compliance and 70M+ users boost speculation about PI’s utility as a cross-border payment asset, mirroring Stellar/Ripple’s strategies. - Developer strains emerge from WorkforcePool’s sale and delayed Open Mainnet, raising doubts about ecosystem sustainability amid rising operational costs. - PI’s price fluctuates between $0.20–$0.30 despite 100M app downloads, with anal
Pi Network, a cryptocurrency initiative focused on mobile users, has sparked fresh debate over its token’s value following a series of moves into artificial intelligence, robotics, and global finance. Although the project has yet to release any official price projections, both analysts and the community are monitoring these advancements for signs of a pivotal shift in the network’s trajectory.
The latest development is Pi Network Ventures’ $100 million funding of OpenMind, a robotics company building an open-source OS for collaborative, AI-powered machines. Announced on November 3, 2025, this partnership utilizes Pi’s network of 350,000 active nodes to run AI models on OpenMind’s platform, turning unused computational resources into income for node operators, according to a
At the same time, Pi Network is working toward ISO 20022 compliance—a global banking protocol that would enable international payments and attract institutional interest, according to a
Nonetheless, there are ongoing obstacles. The recent acquisition of WorkforcePool—the first winner of Pi’s Hackathon and a decentralized freelance platform—has sparked worries about the long-term health of the developer community, according to a
Market indicators present a mixed picture. While Pi’s app has been downloaded over 100 million times—outpacing major crypto apps like Coinbase and OKX—the token’s value has seen volatility, dropping back to the $0.20–$0.22 range after briefly reaching $0.30 in October, according to a
Despite these issues, Pi’s ecosystem is still growing. The V23 Mainnet Protocol Upgrade and the launch of a decentralized exchange (Pi DEX) are expected to improve the network’s capabilities, as Coinpedia mentioned. Additionally, collaborations such as MamboChain’s decentralized payment solutions in Kenya demonstrate Pi’s expansion into emerging markets, as reported by Coinfomania.
As the network moves forward, the lack of an official price statement leaves space for both hope and doubt. While strategic investments and compliance initiatives point to long-term promise, Pi’s future will depend on its ability to keep developers engaged and deliver on its roadmap, ultimately determining if speculative gains can turn into lasting value.
