Pi Network’s Rollercoaster Week: Tokens Up, Tokens Down, and More Surprises!

by

Oh, what a week it has been for the Pi Network! From dramatic price fluctuations to exciting new announcements, it has been a whirlwind of “ups” and “downs”-and no, we’re not just talking about the price of their native token!

The Wild Ride

The Pi Network token embarked on a rather rocky journey over the last seven days. It started the week in the red-surprise, surprise-before fighting its way to $0.39 by Saturday, only to plummet to $0.34 by Monday. According to TradingView, this tug-of-war between gains and losses is still playing out at the time of writing.

Let’s not forget the new all-time low set last week at $0.33-before, of course, the token managed to pull itself up by its bootstraps for a bit of a recovery. Truly, a saga of “rise and fall” that could put any soap opera to shame.

New OS Features-A Glimmer of Hope?

And what better way to distract from a rocky start than with a shiny, new feature? The Pi Network core team, never ones to leave the community hanging, announced that Linux users can now run nodes. (Yes, you read that right. We can already hear the collective cheers from all the Linux enthusiasts out there.)

In the same breath, the Pi Network shared another juicy tidbit: they’re upgrading their protocol from version 19 to version 23, now adapted from Stellar. With this, KYC (Know Your Customer) will be seamlessly integrated into the smart contract. But here’s the kicker: in the future, KYC might even be handled by trusted third parties-so much for centralized control!

“The Pi KYC solution continues to verify Pioneers, but other trusted entities may also handle KYC, paving the way for a more decentralized, community-driven approach.”

ETP Hits the Nordic Market: Oh, Pi, You’re Global Now!

If you thought the excitement was over, think again. Pi Network has also launched its native token on the Spotlight Stock Market, the Nordic exchange that gives access to 140 companies and 66 ETPs. And guess what? This means you can now trade Pi tokens as exchange-traded products in Europe, just like stocks. Who knew Pi would be mingling with the big leagues so soon?
