Pi Network has rolled out a new Holiday Commerce Initiative. It is shifting the spotlight from price chatter to something the project has pushed for years: real usage. Instead of hype campaigns or token incentives, the initiative focuses on one thing. Getting Pi used in everyday transactions, both o

The Pi Network team has been very active recently, launching updates for the testnet DEX, domain verification mechanisms, and holiday shopping season initiatives. However, the native token PI has not yet shown a decisive breakthrough, continuing to decline on both weekly and monthly charts. The community is seriously divided on the outlook, with some users predicting the price will reach an astonishing $100 target, while others criticize the token for speculation far exceeding its utility.

The article critiques the Pi Network's fixed 0.01 Pi transaction fee, arguing it hinders economic efficiency and contradicts the community's valuation. It suggests a shift to dynamic pricing to enhance usability and global transaction capabilities, while acknowledging the speculative nature of these ideas.

Pi Network is moving ahead with its Protocol v23 upgrade, and the focus is firmly on infrastructure. According to ecosystem updates, the upgrade will integrate Stellar Core v23.0.1 in Q1 2026. The goal is simple. Make the network faster, more scalable and ready for cross-chain activity. For Pi’s 15.

This week, the crypto market has started to retrace again, with most altcoins under significant pressure. However, Pi Network's native token PI is one of the few altcoins that successfully resisted the overall retracement and remained above $0.20, demonstrating its anti-drop characteristics. But this raises a key question: Does PI truly have hedging capability? Or is it just a short-term rebound driven by Binance listing rumors?

Pi Network Testnet's DEX and AMM liquidity pool features receive major updates aimed at improving usability and combating scam tokens. The core changes include introducing a domain verification mechanism, allowing users to see whether a token is indeed issued by the same entity controlling the domain, and adopting a liquidity-based token ranking system to replace traditional market cap rankings, preventing developers from manipulating rankings by reserving 99% of the supply and artificially inflating prices.

The essay discusses the Pi OpenMainnet 2025, emphasizing that success is defined by usability rather than speculation. It highlights the importance of real-world applications like PayofPi for transaction functionality and advocates for decentralized exchanges (DEX) to enhance liquidity and connect Pi to global crypto markets.

Pi Network is upgrading Testnet2 to protocol v23, integrating Stellar Core v23 to support on-chain smart contracts, moving towards full mainnet functionality. During the upgrade, wallets will enter temporary maintenance mode, causing the entire ecosystem and exchange services to be temporarily suspended, and multiple CEXs have paused Pi-related operations. The core team has issued an early warning that this upgrade may temporarily impact services, including wallet access and trading activities.

Pi Coin has faced significant selling pressure, dropping 25% in 20 days, primarily due to negative market sentiment and its correlation with Bitcoin. Currently, it tests a critical support level at $0.198; if it breaks this, further declines may occur. However, a potential recovery exists if it rebounds from this support.

Well-known AI research company Perplexity AI recently released price forecasts for Pi Network (PI), Bitcoin, and Solana (SOL), projecting their prices until the end of 2025. Their outlook shows an extreme polarization. Among them, the most notable is the prediction for the emerging project Pi Network, with a bullish scenario indicating that PI could surge to $2.80, representing a potential increase of over 1279% from the current level; at the same time, Bitcoin's long-term target is set at $200,000. These forecasts are released as the crypto market, after reaching record highs, enters a year-end consolidation period, with market expectations of a possible "Christmas rally."

Pi coin is trading at $0.20, down 26% from the November high and a sharp 93.2% decline from the February year-to-date high of $2.99. On the technical side, the 4-hour chart has formed a bearish double top pattern and broken below the neckline. The 50-day simple moving average has fallen below the 200-day moving average, forming a death cross, indicating that the bears are in control of the market. Trading volume has plummeted from $2.5 billion in February to just $22 million currently, with whale buying activity continuously decreasing.

Pi Network community account urges holders to "HODL Pi," warning followers not to miss the next rally, and boldly claims that Pi's price could reach 100 USD, even accompanied by exaggerated charts suggesting a market cap of 1 trillion USD. However, the community response has been lukewarm, and the market has completely ignored such predictions. The hype bubble has burst, and since its launch, the Pi token price has plummeted by approximately 92%, whale trading activity has stalled, and liquidity across various exchanges has declined.

Perplexity AI releases cryptocurrency predictions for the Christmas holiday season, with PI coin forecasted to soar to $2.80 in an optimistic scenario, an increase of nearly 1300%. However, in a pessimistic scenario, it could drop to $0.15. Bitcoin's 2026 target is as high as $200,000, but in the short term, it may fall back to $70,000. SOL has an optimistic forecast of $480, while the pessimistic outlook remains at $120.

A recent Pi Network community account post sparked renewed bullish enthusiasm, urging users to hold and buy at perceived low prices, with claims of a $100 price target and a $1 trillion market cap. However, despite the aggressive promotion, actual market sentiment indicates caution and minimal community engagement, as the ecosystem lacks solid validation and tangible milestones.

Pi Network has become a failure case in the cryptocurrency industry by 2025, with its price dropping from a peak of $3 to $0.1960, a decline of over 80%, resulting in cumulative losses of over $18 billion for holders. Millions of pioneers have watched the price hit new lows, while the tokens they have mined over years remain trapped in the closed mainnet. Despite recent improvements in the KYC process, many users still cannot transfer their tokens to the mainnet for trading.

Pi Network opinion leader Cryptocurrencypi posted a screenshot of the Pi browser code repository on social media, revealing a shocking discovery: Pi Network has pre-integrated external blockchain assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and others into its GitHub code. By establishing cross-chain bridges through a anchoring system, it shows that the Pi Network ecosystem is much larger than the market perceives.

Pi Network faces a triple bearish squeeze: the giant whale holding 391 million tokens worth 76 million USD has stopped buying, 12.2 billion tokens will be unlocked in the next 12 months, and the daily trading volume has shrunk to 21 million USD. Technically, Pi Network has broken below the double top neckline and the 50-week EMA, with RSI dropping to an oversold level of 23. The next key support level is at 0.1530 USD.

The essay discusses the Pi Network's integration with external blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum, highlighting its strategic planning and readiness. It contrasts market perceptions with the underlying robustness of Pi's ecosystem and user base, suggesting an undervaluation of its assets.

Pi Network has enabled smart contracts on the testnet, supporting decentralized application (dApp) development. Over 17.5 million users have completed KYC checks, making it one of the largest verified communities in the Web3 space. The number of mainnet nodes is expected to increase nearly tenfold by 2025, indicating high network engagement and an increasing level of decentralization. After the smart contracts go live, developers can test payments, logic, and on-chain interactions in a real environment.

However, Pi Network is facing challenges from founder lawsuits and divergent community confidence.

In early December, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California accepted a class-action lawsuit against Pi Network's parent company, SocialChain Inc., and its founders, with the plaintiffs seeking up to $10 million in damages. The lawsuit accuses the project team of conducting a years-long fraudulent scheme, including unauthorized transfers of users' tokens, secretly selling up to 2 billion Pi tokens, and deliberately delaying the mainnet migration, resulting in asset depreciation. Although the Pi core team has remained silent so far, the community has strongly questioned key data presented in the lawsuit.
