According to CoinMarketCap, Pi price hovers around $0.45, and 24-hour trading volume spiked to $78.8 million, a 145% increase. The fully diluted valuation stands at $45B, reflecting high investor confidence in its long-term potential.

Pi Wallet Unlocks Fiat Onramps

One of the most significant developments driving market optimism is the new fiat on-ramp integration via BANXA. Users can now buy or sell $Pi directly through the Pi Wallet, using credit cards, debit cards, and Google Pay. This gateway connects over 170 global payment methods, drastically improving accessibility.

The update also includes a redesigned ‘Buy’ screen, where users can now view options for “Exchanges,” “Mine Pi,” and on-ramp providers like Onramper. The move signals Pi’s shift from a closed test environment to broader real-world functionality.

As noted by @TechAltcoin on X, “This changes everything for utility, liquidity, and real-world adoption. The gateway to global commerce is open.”

Massive Token Unlock Approaches

The Pi ecosystem is preparing for a major token unlock. Around 10.8 million PI will enter circulation in a single day,  the largest monthly release so far. While token unlocks often raise fears of selling pressure, Pi’s supporters argue that increased liquidity could boost ecosystem activity if matched with utility.

Analysts are watching closely to see how the market absorbs the new supply and whether demand remains strong. Pi’s trading activity and price stability in the following days will serve as a key test.

Tokenized Stocks and Web3 Social in the Pipeline

Pi Network continues to explore ambitious use cases. These include tokenized equities, Web3 social platforms, and decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) solutions. Pi Core Team members have publicly hinted at or confirmed many of these plans. “Pi is ahead of 99% of cryptos on multiple fronts,” said @Dr_Picoin. “The foundation has been laid. At this point, nothing is off the table.”

The Road Ahead

With deep community engagement and increasing real-world integrations, Pi Network is evolving beyond a mobile mining experiment. As utility expands, the project could challenge legacy tokens in the Web3, DePIN, and digital payments sectors. It can maintain momentum post-unlock remains to be seen, but the groundwork for long-term relevance appears firmly in place.
